It's an old courtyard.!.......with my favourite spot in the summertime as it heats up very nicely indeed.
Chris i've only been a few times over the years and would love to enter but all those levers might just blow my brains.
totally agree! constantly testing to see if timing and mixture ok and even pumping lubrication at the right time on earliest.
I sent the jacket back to have the sleeves shortened. Got shirty when they wanted me to pay postage and suggested going to law over it - so they supplied a prepaid label. Given how ludicrously cheap it would have been (something like £3) I almost feel guilty about it. But the point stands that my other jackets have shorter sleeves, including the Wrangler that's straight off the peg, so I'm not freakishly proportional (I'm sad to say). Anyway I was dubious about it. But a week or so later it came back with the sleeves now the right length and it seems like a very good job. So now I'm expecting a suede version, pre-altered. And that about concludes my splurging on stuff as a reward for not smoking - though I nearly spent £100 earlier on a pair of Ducati leather riding boots. The two leather jackets - £128 for the green one; £184 for the suede - come to about what I'd have spent on fags for three weeks and a bit.
Had a great mixed on/off-road ride today on the 300. Wringing its neck & not caring about riding narrow lanes with centre gravel/crap 'cos of good enduro tyres makes a 60mph-max, under-100kg bike a hoot! The off-road stuff was good too - at last it's drying and I didn't fall off
I went to UFC on Saturday night with my son. It’s taken me 3 days to get over the shock and trauma of spending £400 on what was objectively utterly shite.
Does ultimate fighting mean they can kick each other in the bollocks? Though that wouldn't have been shite, so I guess not.
When it first started about 25 years ago it was pretty much anything goes, except maybe eye gouging. There were also no weight categories and fighters tended to specialise in one discipline, so for example you’d have a 10st karatéka in a gi fighting a 30 stone sumo wrestler wearing one of those gigantic nappies. It was wild. These days however, the fighters are pretty much all highly proficient in the 3 core skills of kick boxing, ju jitsu and wrestling, so there’s not so much variation in styles and they tend to cancel one another out. I much prefer boxing tbh. My son loves it though, albeit he admitted that this particular event was absolutely dire. We saw 4 fights. The first one lasted about 20 seconds, the second one consisted of the two fighters warily circling each other and barely throwing a punch, I can’t even remember the third one and the main event was just about ok, but went to a decision.
Had a solo indoor net with a bowling machine last night to work on my batting as I’d like to be a proper all rounder rather than just being a bowler who can occasionally bat a bit. Best 35 quid I’ve spent in ages.
