4 PIR's,

If 4 Parachute Infantry Regiments can't stop burglars, nothing will. The lengths you have to go to, eh?  :lol

 :lol

It's a big 6 bed house Nick.

Next up is razer wire around my perimeter, acid filled moat with draw bridge and gate house, and machine gun turrets with those auto fire guns like in the alien film. Hopefully that will stop the Deer, evil Muntjac and Pheasants from fighting their way through my hedgerow, hoofing up my nice lawn and eating my vegetation.

Orf my land!

 :2guns




the things you have to do to stay safe in rough as foc Manchester :lol :b

70 miles round trip, Bala and back. Food and drink at Caffi Tegid by the lake. Frosty start, ice in the gutters at Bwlchgwyn, but soon warmed up.

Last weekend I began the work of replacing the radiator in the ZS - the final step toward getting it back on the road. Today I finished this off and the car is finally running properly with no leaks!!

Looking forward to using it more now and heading off to a meet with it tomorrow :) I'll get some photos up once I've had a chance to wash it... well... get someone else to wash it...

I fitted an integrated rear light to my V4 tuono and bar end indicators, so no sticky out indicators anymore! :)

Took my Katie Em up to Scotland to ride some back roads and fire tracks with a few friends.

Base camp was at Inchree and ride outs were from there to: Point of Ardnamurchan, Isle of Mull perimeter road, Fire tracks and off roads through Glen Nevis and Glenrigh Forest.

Ride out on first day was cut short due to worsening weather conditions and our pace slowed from 15-40mph to 50 yards an hour. I dropped my Katie after all grip and traction vanished. It was the sort of road that you needed to read all the time. One eye off the ball and you've run out of road... and that was vanishing very quickly under falling snow.

In all a good four days riding in some Arctic conditions and a bonus day riding me Katie back from St.Helens to Suffolk.

A few pictures.

Put the RX-8 up for sell as I just can't afford to run it along side the MG and the Fazer and I really need the cash right now. Sad to see it go, but realistically I never fell in love with it as I did with the MG

Taxed the DRZ and hit the country lanes and dirt tracks. Totally different riding experience to the Fazer which I'm loving.
 
Elevated riding position allowing me to see over hedgerows, punchy out of the corners and I can't seem to get enough of that rear wheel stepped out and spinning malarkey. :)
 
Think it's found it's natural habitat. :D
