  6. They were tasty. Not the one that got in my eye though :mad:.
    It was either that or not see, pinsert MIA, and antifog coating long gone.
    Plus fat guy puffing and panting doesn't help :laughing:

  7. Rolled the scrambler out of the garage. Rolled it back in when the heavens opened. :)
     
  8. Got bike kit ready this morning for ride to Ducati Worcester at lunchtime for a service early this afternoon, was also taking the Mutley V4 out whilst they were working on my bike. Received a call just after 10 saying that their tech was at the Drs this morning so they'd need to reschedule, 11th of flipping November! Not impressed. Think I'll call JHP and see if they can fit me in sooner.
     
  9. Cleaned my boots. Does that count?

  11. Someone in the office said "can you come in for a meeting?" I said yes (but only 'cos the sun was out) so had a good blast on the Hyper:). So much better to arrive (& leave) with a smile than grind there in car through the traffic....

  12. Pulled a screw out of the VFR's rear tyre, It seems to have gone in tangentially, and I couldn't detect any air coming out, but it's still a nasty tear,

    Still, look on the bright side, at least it wasn't the 999.

  13. Bought another one
     
  14. Checked the air in the scrambler tyres, pumped them up. I’m now charging up my airbag vest, Packtalk comms unit and my heated gloves batteries in readiness for a few hours out with @bettes this morning :)

  16. Took the Kids to Drumclog Off Road Centre for a few hours so they could ride like the wind for a few hours. It was a few hours of Scrabble for me, pretty boring, but they LOVE it. Lots of folks there knocking Shite out of their dirt bikes as I looked on, playing scrabble (did I mention that).

    I REALLY need to get myself a dirt bike! All I need to do is persuade SWMBO to loosen the purse strings for a few grand and EBAY the fuck out of it....Again.

    Any suggestions for a novice off roader?

    Although, I have seen several of those Razor buggies there and they look like some serious fun, I is tempted.
     
  17. Stripped the teenager's Mito again yesterday, it appears that the sprocket shaft seal is leaking so it's in bits again waiting for a £2 seal to turn up
     
  18. brilliant bikes, I still have many and ought to get one roadworthy.
     
  19. Controversial, but DR350/DR400 Suzuki are pretty reliable for a first bike at entry level. Some will say it has to be a two-stroke, etc blah
