If i fell in shite i'd come out smelling of roses

Glad to get my dayshifts over with & in comparison looking forward to tonight and tomorrows night shifts.

Miraculously on a night shift with only me & my oppo,no management,office staff or board members in sight.........the job still gets done

...do we really need these people???...NO...they're a pain the arse & they get in the way....but we're all on big family...used to be a team but thats cliche so now they're family ha ha

Stupid thing is I'm on 2 off 1 on 1...

all about, drinkin loads o coffee outta my massive Pot Noodle Mug, mmm i could go a Pot Noodle right now, or a 'Normous Noodle' rip off which i think taste far bettter...anyway i digress..all's good down here, passed some time earlier with a Foc-uathon, giving people dodgy advice & having fun.
took the bike in to work this evening, can see her on the cctv by the door,watching out for unsavouries (read dodgy wee bastards) trying to steal her, im sure she's moving bit by bit though, got a life of her own dont you know, thinks i cant see her

,anyway the bike is really stonking at the moment, the simmi can with the baffle out really does sound the cats tits.
Couple hours kip later on when i finish then im back out on the bike to a mates BBQ then Monday im meeting up with slimwilly & a few others who i dont think are members here for a bit of a ride out round the Brecon Beacons which im looking forward to even though they're gonna leave me for dust on there thou's
all good!

That sounds great man! Get some pics while you're out on your run if you stop for long enough

Don't think I'd want to ride my bike home after a nightshift. Sometimes I leave work then I open my front door 10 miles away and don't really remember much in between..

I know what you mean Chris, i get my second wind though when i see my relief come through the door then after giving them the rundown on the current situation im quite alert, probably not quite as much as usual though granted, gotta be honest i'm just looking forward to Buzzing my mates house with the exhaust on my way home, he's right on the road & it's his bbq later so i'll give it some,maybe beep the horn & see if theres any comments later & try keep a straight face,i'll teach them to get bank holidays

, it's basically a B road all the way home, nice and quiet, sun should be up about half 5 so it'll be light.

last time i rode to work on a nice evening, next morning was pitch black, raining & focin cold, not good!

Chris · « **Reply #134 on:** 05 May 2013, 03:35:15 am »

Glad you're enjoying the new exhaust buddy, can't wait to fire mine up with the new can on! Shouldn't be long now!!!!!!!

I might even put up a pic to prove I have a bike. haha

Hope you get nice weather for the BBQ!

The morning shift arrive about half 7 then I usually get out of here, after doing handover, about ten to 8 and home by just after 8. Such a good feeling when they walk in through the door. You're right you do get a second wind when you know the next shift is coming on but the fresh air floors me.

well i just hope you dont end up selling it after all that graft, look forward to seeing some pics, i bet it'll be gleaming

keep up the good work

Chris · « **Reply #136 on:** 05 May 2013, 04:19:25 am »

Cheers mate, I'll hopefully not have to sell it for a long time. I really like it. It's got more than enough power for me at the moment, I can use it to do a bit of touring when I can afford to get off this rock for a while and it's easy to work on myself and learn more about doing my own work etc so it's kind of perfect for me.

I think it's pretty clean but yours looks spotless!

What kind of things do you guys eat over a nightshift?

bri h · « **Reply #138 on:** 07 May 2013, 03:29:34 am »

Hello gents ive worked two nights had one of then im on tonight then three off. I dont know when to be awake anymore not that you could tell the difference. Ive enjoyed a nice ham and cucumber sandeitch tonight. We used to have a microwave but it was condemed as a health risk. It was like something out of doctor who haha. The night shift blamed the day shift and the day shift blamed the night shift. I never used it myself as i coldnt catch the bugger.

Chris · « **Reply #139 on:** 07 May 2013, 03:34:14 am »

Hey Bri h. Ye, this is my 4th night on but off until sunday! Woop! Sometimes if you just have one or two days off between nights then it's not worth turning your body clock around but then the flip side of it is that when it gets to a few days off then it's harder to kick your clock around because it's been in night mode for so long! haha. can't win. What do you do mate?

Chris

bri h · « **Reply #140 on:** 07 May 2013, 04:21:55 am »

Chris · « **Reply #141 on:** 07 May 2013, 04:28:08 am »

Haha, sounds like fun. Do you get to wear a storm trooper outfit and drive an armoured van?

Chris

bri h · « **Reply #142 on:** 07 May 2013, 07:14:37 am »

Haha i used to but im too old and fat to wear a stab vest to work so i now work in the vaults. What are you up to mate

Chris · « **Reply #143 on:** 07 May 2013, 08:10:16 am »

I work in a 24 hour care home so there are two of us on waking nights every night. I love my job but I'm glad to be home and off until Sunday! I am determined to get my bike back on the road this week too! I might even have a chance to get some pics of it!!

Off to bed now though! Night lads!

Chris

I'm doing Wednesday and Thursday nights and then 2 weeks off and going to the Lake District in a little cottage with a wood burner. Just me the Wife and our dog. Lots of walking, pubs and eating. Can't wait.

Its 0445 and no I is not on night shift but the sun is coming up I is waiting for the

to do their job. So is it only me that is up at this time not needing to get to work in the early hours and dreaming of the open road where I is free to open the throttle?

Daz

stevierst · « **Reply #148 on:** 24 May 2013, 05:50:44 am »

You are not alone! The only difference is that I'm on early shift for the next 2 sets, so its up at 4.30. The blast to work is a hoot though

There have been some good rides to work and back - at last. Not tonight though, peeing down when I left home.

When was getting kitted up to leave for home the other day, Gino, the shift guy for that night commented on what a faff it seemed to be compared to just getting in a car. He doesn't get bikes at all, and it wasn't worth trying to explain, even if I could. And I wanted to get home.

Lennie (female, who I took over from tonight)on the other hand, is a fellow biker.

I'm rambling on, I know. Just trying to stay awake
