I found that at a number of stations when I rode down to Misano a few years ago. I learnt that there is a sign indicating which pumps are self service it became more noticeable by the queues at the self service pumps and the others not so
A cheeky ride on the Smart today, i wanted another on the 998 but the backs not quite right yet, plus gathering in some oak / fruit logs.
Moved my daughter and her house mates stuff out of their uni house and into a storage unit . They are going to move it all into the new house in a few days time in her Ford Ka and a VW golf , good luck with that. Then popped up to the hospital to see my dad as it's been a couple of days and he's doing great walking to the loo with the help of a walking frame. Beer in the garden to round a tiring day off.
Surfing off Gwithian Towan beach. I looked pretty cool-there are no photos to prove to the contrary!!
Watched the Motogp sprint race this morning at 7am, just boring i'm afraid.!, removed the front suspension strut from the van as i think it's the top mount that's gone, plus an oil change on the old girl..............more grass cutting and log splitting with the back saying enough sit down with a few beers you idiot.
A nice cycle this morning with a mate , then cleaned said bike. Washed my 765 as I got caught in the rain last week out on it. Just got back from an hour and a half out on the scooter. It's the first time the Mrs has been on any sort of bike since having our daughter twenty years ago. The last bike she was on was a gsxr600 k1 ! .
Went to the "Oaksmere Italia" day in Norfolk. Lots of Italian four wheeled exotica and a few bikes, including my own and the wife's Monster. Plenty of stalls serving coffee, stone baked pizzas, pasta and more besides. Great weather and possibly the last warm weekend as we head into Autumn. All in all a great day out.
Great fun road bike Have a gen1 09 which has been up for sale for a while , but I've been having a re-think and it's being put back into use as the winter hack.
I stopped the rain. I didn't mean to. I was enjoying it. It was perfect, like Rainy Night in Georgia, only not at night; in which all sins were forgiven, washed away - except, apparently, the one of hubris, of having the gall to think that I controlled the weather. It's probably raining all over the world except in Cheltenham.
Mines a gen 1 but I did a gen 2 facelift on it, brilliant bikes with one of the best engines I’ve ever ridden.
Went for a spin yesterday, humid. On way home i had to use M25 from A21 to J6. It was rammed. So filtered in 1st. By time I got home I had overheating error message up and when id stopped outside my garage, steam was coming off the bike and it spat a little bit on deck. First time ive had this, despite travelling from Langres to Calais in 38°C. Bike was fine previously, so I am putting this down to the humidity. I could feel it as I filtered. The heat on M25 was immense, so I guess lack of air in rad. Im only 2mins from J6, so never got enough room to run quick enough for the air to travel through rad. Still, its an excuse to take panels off tonight and refill coolant and give it a check. Edit:just noted thread about 'cataclysmic thermostat', fingers crossed.
