Gave my Generation 1 Mille R a good clean, changed the oil, bled the clutch and so on, ready for sale after 20 years of ownership.. it will be a sad day when it goes. It runs as sweetly as it did new and to my ears, makes the best sound on 2 wheels with the actual Aprilia 'race' titanium can.. Monsoon starts tomorrow, so wanted to get it done today
It's a cracker,I used to have one as well, feckin' brilliant for the wet diving gear, I was sorry to see it go!
My mate has just put his ‘airhead’ on the road, so I accompanied him around Derbyshire carrying a tow rope, just in case. We stopped for an Ice-cream in Calver, at the little sweet shop, (soon to be renamed ‘Sue’s chews’) if you’re ever in the area, stop for a tea, it’s 75p. (Coffee 80p and hot chocolate £1)(everyone’s a winner baby) Cherry Bakewell flavour if you were wondering.
Cleaned 3/4 of the house. Just the garden room to do and I’ll do that tomorrow whilst it’s pissing down. This afternoon I watched all episodes of The Duchess. Very funny indeed. Worth a watch.
Woke up and more torrential rain and more tonight and tomorrow, oh well BSBupyeah and WSBK(ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ) today so at least something to watch!!
Up and about early it's my wife's 65th birthday, lemon/ginger tea in bed with her cards/ chocs/ and pressie's, still awaiting for the florist to call. She is my life partner i love her loads, but the best present she could have had has been denied her the State pension instead she still has to work in the most vulnerable work place in the world. Care Home. There we are then.
