Yes mate. Cant ride it and things have got worse if anything. So its sitting there costing money and returning nothing. Makes no sense to keep it. If I get my knee sorted I can always get another. Not like there's a shortage of them! :D

There's only one right place for those stickers.

You just have to hope he lives at number 60 instead.

Pre-flighted the ZX11 for tomorrow, went to Costco, gassed up the ST, restored the baseboard that I removed last week because of the roof leak, ate a dozen tequitos, ordered a T shirt from Amazon.

I only ordered one T-shirt, but the company have a few I like. Waiting to see the quality & sizing of this one before buying the others.

Rode 202 miles, froze my ass off on the way home, been back 3 hours, I'm still cold.
Was mostly sensible, didn't bust 125mph all day. Mulholland was a mess, tons of rocks piled up at the side of the road from the storms, water flowing across the road in dozens of places as it drained from the hills. They'd scraped one corner earlier in the week & left 1/4in of mud covering the road side to side & about 50ft long that had dried out & basically been polished by cars. It was like hitting ice. Almost binned it.

Just spent an hour cleaning a mouldy fridge. I turned off the beer fridge in the patio bar as it's dry January.
But forgot to leave the door open.

Was disgusting :sick:

Washed the ZH2, it's now called "Carrie" as I managed to slice my finger on the exhaust guard and bleed copiously all over the bike. Then ACF50'ed the bike. Disappointingly found the cheapo metal lower fairing brackets are beginning to bubble up.

Bike is now about 6.7 out of 10 on the @weeksy cleanliness scale and a 2 on my Mums cleanliness scale (every year the men from Intel and AMD dread her inspection of their clean rooms against the standard of her Kitchen).

Bike is now ready to be taken to the shop on Thursday for a new cam chain tensioner and boots (Pilot road 6).

I've worked a lot the last week. Day off tomorrow and I've booked to do first tracks with some friends in the morning. After an extra long day I had planned an early night as a mate that was going to drive to La Plagne for first tracks hadn't been in touch.

Only, now I have him sleeping on the sofa but not doing first tracks :roll: LOL So I have to stay awake now till he gets here, then probably talk for a bit, when all I really want to do is SLEEP!!! Like an hour ago!! LOL
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!! :bblonde:

Paid my self assessment tax for the year, the first time I've paid direct taxation since a long time ago.

I hope the chancellor doesn't waste my £4.25.

Chancellor would probably advise setting up an off-shore trust in a relative's name so you didn't have to pay the £4.50. :lol:
