I want to get rid of a bike too, what's your number?

42

I saw Mr Trump in Air Force One pass over my gaff last night, around 11pm. Heading into Mildenhall to refuel, then off to Saudi I think.
He didn’t wave. Makes you wonder if he’s telling people this morning that he flew over Micks house last night

Filtered along behind a guy wearing a leather gilet with huge 'God's Squad - Christian Motorcycle Club' patch on the back. Figured that if he was getting a bit of preferential looking after from the Fella Upstairs, a little bit of Holy protection might come my way, what with me being right behind him.

Also, filtered along behind two plod bikes on the Highway. Van driver seem oblivious to their presence, until such time as he failed to stop at the red light. On went the lights and noise.

Off to Rattlesnake Rd to throw some lead around & kill paper/rocks etc. Not taking the Mosin this time.

WooT! Consistent (& rapid) head shots at 50-60ft, even came damn close to hitting a wooden clog at 200ft

Signed off for another week with my bad back. Been to physio tonight who said problem is muscular, so that's a relief.

A lovely drive in the sunshine, with the roof down, over to Demon Tweeks to buy a tyre for the bike.

A couple of wins today,

Yesterdays FPN for parking in office car park has been overturned, office manager said to expect more in the future as landlord’s record keeping isn’t the best.

Got confirmation that I have passed my initial sign off process and pending the FCA updating the register, I am cleared to see clients and do the job I’m paid for. Appointments are going in the diary for bank holiday week in anticipation of the FCA attending to the request promptly…

Checked over a micro lathe I bought as faulty via Ebay. I can't recreate the fault except by not operating it correctly.

I count that as a win. All it needs now is cleaning, oiling and the gib keys adjusted to take as much play as I can.

LAX run shortly. Dropping roomie off for holibobs until the 28th... So home alone & unsupervised for two weeks. Already checking online for GPz11's...

Up early, wife to work, son to work, me to help take a funeral. Then off to a lunch with a clergy friend. Then in the car to collect daughter from the clinic. She is in a bad way at the moment. Not easy. Listening to WSM audio and chat, to see how the contest is unfolding. Some injuries already... Usual suspects doing well.

Got caught up in a police chase on the way to LAX. White Ford Expedition chased by at least 18 cop cars around 100mph or more. CHP prick in a Chevy SUV did a violent lane change, damn near put two cars into the K rails & came within an RCH of splattering himself all over the freeway. He wasn't even on the same freeway FFS. Utter fucking cuntish driving.

Took 2 days to tidy the garage. It's about 8 years old now and really needed some TLC. Farking knackered now

I even washed the bikes
.






















.

Rode from Eastbourne to Barnstaple Hospital to see my poorly Father. ZH2 just gobbles up the miles and overtaking is a doddle. Hopefully I won’t be appearing on any Police, Camera action videos.. The old man is getting better but still looks very frail and tired. He really needs a new heart valve and stents but is still to ill for an Op.

Who's is the AJP and is it any good? The best description I've heard is: if KTM are ready to race, AJP are ready to cruise.

It's Penny's little 125. Perfect for her.
Was the lowest seat we could find.
Lacking in power, but amazing off road.

Went to the Beaulieu Autojumble and picked up what i believe was the only single JAP part there... A head, with valves and springs fitted for 130. Even i don't use it immediately, it looks to be on good nick and will go into the parts stash.
Also picked up a barrel honing tool.

And blisters.

Only took 2 photos. Not just one, but 2 TDRs... How often do you get to see that these days?
