Robin & Anthony -both very good skiers. The first time I skied the couloirs on Le face was with them... Do you remember where they stayed in an apartment in Lac? The best ever was when they set up a jump, sking off out of the building into drifts -at high speed and a long fall down. How we never got hurt is beyond me. Their first year was as reps with Red Wing (I think) and then they took over from Crystal rep who was a photographer and his wife/ girlfriend. Harrys was a great place until the couple -from Manchester?- who ran it did a bunk with the money. I ran into them one night in a hotel in Klosters some years later... I think the guy was on the run for other "things" too. He was always OK with me but I wouldn't have got on his bad side. Did you know Mick from Skiworld? They were a tiny outfit then and were partners in the Poele d' Or too. Come along way since then.
Back home now....Yep....thats my plan. Even though (its kinda reset as from yesterday) ive got more movement than the day i did it...
If the quash ball is too hard at first to get the movement you want, you could also strip the outer layer off a golf ball to get started since they are softer? The great thing is you can be doing physio easily and often.
M1000 DS Much better forecast than yesterdays rain, so after breakfast, a ride over Honister A fair bit of ‘gravel’ washed onto the road near Lorton from recent rain. Plenty of sheep and lambs ‘ont road’ after the cattlegrid. Some people swimming in Crummock. Others in campervans at Honister with a picnic table out for breakfast. At Grange, the sun shone and it started to warm up a bit, for the ride home. Buttermere - glasslike, other than ripples from some ducks. Running beautifully @Nasher
After much faffing about I have made a start of sorting out and disposing of all the misc motorbike bits and pieces I have accumulated over the years.A mixed bag of old British bits,a few Ducati bits,workshop tools,roller starters and parts.If the used bike market is anything to go by I expect the bits and pieces will go for a pittance.Ebay will be my chosen route for most of the bits and pieces,with a couple of items on here.
I’d suggest not. I very much doubt it would be that much softer than the outer cover as it is built to withstand a 125mph impact from a driver. Be much better off getting some Theraputty from Fleabay or Amazon. I’d suggest getting a multipack with various strengths as blokes tend to overestimate their ability to compress a bit of putty as my physio told after I’d bought the wrong one…
Went to the cinema to see F1. Very enjoyable and well done if a little predictable script wise. Annoyingly the aircon wasn’t working properly thus undoing the master plan for staying cool.
Arrived at the air B&B in the south of France. 38c at one point today, far to hot. Stunning place with a pool ,lovely lounge, kitchen etc
Went out for a picnic. Didn’t think the lack of sleep, and heat would be conducive to taking the bike out
Took a crappy train to Worcester And cannot post the photo that I just took off my Whisky and Mahou beer. This is good = apart from the train journey.
Bought £300 worth of plants from the local garden centre and B&M...then spent 6 hours planting everything up. Knackered now and I'm sure I won't be able to move tomorrow
That the name I’d forgotten, thanks. They made and probably spent a small fortune with the kick backs they received from all the various nights out, ski rentals and such. Their visas ran out apparently so left France. Yes didn’t it close for a season or 2 only to reopen under a different name, don’t think I ever bumped into this character. Yes I remember him, never saw him sober I don’t think lol.
Not today, but yesterday Rode from Limerick to Cahersiveen, trying as much as possible to stay on the Wild Atlantic Way. The roads and the views are very good. Only encountered one bit of sketchy weather at Connor Pass, went from sunny skies to real heavy mist with about 50 metres of patchy visibility was forced to ride with my visor open which wasn’t ideal. Some piccies below,
