Normal brain function? On this forum! It is a rare condition Buy a new bike. Take your bin for a walk. Don’t know what to suggest.
Spent more time phoning TNT asking if they’ve found my TKCC wheel. Got a phone call back at work later today saying they’ve found it!! Yaay says I. It’s gone back to Germany says TNT. WTF says me. Customs paid, released by customs but somehow goes back to land it was made in. Even worse they say they don’t compensate for the 2 months I’ve spent chasing them/wheel. Absolutely furious with the useless ( insert expletives).
it got you out of the house though! - well done. It also raises the mood (ought to speak for myself really) of many on here who intended to go, but now feel a bit better having read your post.
It’s the wife’s birthday today, so I took her down the pub to watch me work my way round the optics. The things I have to do.
Christmas present run with the advanced motorcycle group, to a school for special needs children. Great reception and the kids had a chance to have their photos taken on the bikes. Looking forwards to the Easter egg run next year.
Spent an hour getting cold feet while watching the small boats head session between Weybridge and Walton. My lads at the front...
You need a Thor copper hide mallet. Satisfying crunch on impact. Good to see you are taking it all so calmly
I’m going to cane the 899 to the coast tomorrow and get to maximum revs while simultaneously screaming my head off in my Pista RR about TNT
Took some photos of the engine at different shutter speeds / ISO and then fiddled around in Photoshop
Went to the Ducati Manchester Xmas party up in Bolton. Food was good, Band on was excellent. Company was great. Even SWMBO enjoyed herself.
It was strange one last night as i couldn't sleep a wink and was up at the magic time, but no access to the F1 battle. So avoiding the t.v & radio results until i know.
Lived in Bolton for years. Staff parties for my lot were at Rivington Barn. Good bikers meet up place. Massive turn out in Summer.. Black dog at Belmont in the days of whistling Jim Pilkington. Not been for years. Takes me back, hammering over from Belmont on a 1978 900ss. First time I soiled my leathers. Still got em, still fit and still need cleaning Ducati then was a shop in Bury. Saw my first 916 there! Nostalgia not what it used to be.
Dressed up as Santa and went out on a local charity Santa ride - the forecast said "rain".. yeah no shit.. But the Ducati didn't miss a beat the whole journey despite the copious amount of water...
Forgot - had to get fuel for the Ducati pre-ride - headed up to a the garage parked up, fuelled and headed to pay - an old boy leaned out of his car window and said "there is a really bad rattle on that - have you heard it? You need to get that looked at" "No that's the dry clutch, they all do that" "No??" "Yep..." After I'd paid he followed me back to the bike so I pointed out the vented cover, the dry clutch etc and had a very pleasant conversation
