It isn't faffing as I love getting geared up and out regardless where I is and yes none bikers don't get it. I tend to turn to UTub in early hours. A couple of favs are anything crashing or off's and barron von grumble.

Have a speedy shift mate

I agree Daz, getting kitted up is all part of the pleasure

Utube doesn't work too well on works computer, takes ages loading and usually ends up freezing, that's if it doesn't block it as 'tasteless and/or offensive' even when it is about a basket of fluffy kittens

. So I annoy other people who are working nights instead

Damp outside, so in the car again (wimp...)tonight. Warmer though, so stuff will start to grow properly on the allotrment, I hope.

My Fine Young Man asked me today what I would like for my birthday. I said I would like a tank bag (I have been borrowing his, my last one got trashed when the Fazer was written off). He misheard and was very suprised at my request for a handbag. We've been together a long time, and he never realised I was that into them...

Chris, been looking elsethread, nice to see your bike MoT'd and looking v slinky

I no longer own a Fazer, though my Fine Young Man has one. I now have a BMW F800R which is very different, but lots of fun. I would love to post some pics, but feel as though I shouldn't, this site being the Home of the Foccers, an' all.

Hey Pongeroon, thanks, I've not been off it since I got it MOT'd! Love being out on my bike again.

Just realised you've not done an introduction thread so, welcome to the forum

you could post a pic or two of your bike if you made an introduction thread

I've not been on shift for while so I've not been about on here over night but on again on sunday. what do you do?

Chris

Hi Chris

. I'm a paramedic in the Midlands. I didn't do an intro thread, I used to post a bit on here a few years ago, so didn't feel the need, though I don't suppose anyone remembers me. I was more of a lurker than a poster

Busy tonight? Not too bad here so far. The last few nights have been

, which is not a good thing for me, I need to stay awake. Good for the esteemed citizens though, not getting ill

Chris · « **Reply #155 on:** 31 May 2013, 09:03:59 am »

Wow, Mucho respect to you for doing your job. I'm not on again till sunday night and then quite a few days off until friday saturday next week. I know what you mean, working as carer myself then a quite night can be a long night but it's nice the people in our care are sleeping well.

Stick a pic up of your bike in here, you won't get banned for it. haha.

I hope to finish about 4am tomorrow and give the Fazer a bloody good thrashing for the 10 miles of motorway on my route home. Should be able to max it out. Well it keeps the battery charged

Finished a run of five nights, sleep this morning, took bike to Shelsley Walsh hill climb. Not taking part, obviously

, but a good afternoon out.
Off to training centre tomorrow for refresher driving course, hope I can stay awake

Oh, and last night I took a guy into hospital who had a mishap while having some rest and relaxation with his wife...There but for the grace of God (or whoever)...

Oh the joys of a week of nights when the weather woman on telly is pointing at the UK map full of high temps and good weather. Meh!

Ive done a day shift followed by 2 nights,having 1 day off & back to 2 days and 2 nights, all 12 hour shifts,

Im kinda all over the place at the moment which is the joy of helping someone out with some swaps when working a fixed yearly roster. $:\$

On the plus side i can plan my holidays for next year

pongeroon · « **Reply #163 on:** 06 June 2013, 07:49:42 am »

Hmmm, like you Noggy, I've been doing some extra shifts in order to get get a couple more days tagged onto my holidays next month. I did five nights, finished on Sunday morning, then back on for four days Monday morning. Last day today and I'm feeling a tad tired

I was supposed be doing a driving refresher course on Monday, but it was cancelled and no-one thought to tell me, so I had a couple of hours being paid to ride the bike in the sunshine (to the training dept and back to my workplace)

Smug? Oh yes

Chris · « **Reply #164 on:** 23 June 2013, 03:07:03 am »

Well now, who's all awake at silly o'clock today then?

Chris

dBfazer600 · « **Reply #165 on:** 23 June 2013, 03:14:39 am »

Just about to hit the hay as I is trying to get my body clock in line for Monday change in shifts

stevierst · « **Reply #166 on:** 23 June 2013, 04:29:37 am »

Still at work sat in the car in the pouring rain. 3 shifts down, and one to go! I'm knackered.

JoeRock · « **Reply #167 on:** 23 June 2013, 07:08:35 am »

Just got home, in two minds whether to go to sleep or not - I've got to be up in about 5 hours to go back to work anyway!

pongeroon · « **Reply #168 on:** 23 June 2013, 07:05:24 pm »

Two down, two to go...

stevierst · « **Reply #169 on:** 24 June 2013, 06:42:18 am »

That's the last one done, and on absolutely knackered! A whole 3 days off, and the sun will be shining (yeah, right!) Ill be putting some more miles on the bike then

:D:D

fireblake · « **Reply #170 on:** 26 June 2013, 01:40:13 am »

Struggling on my first night shift this week. But hopefully I'll finish a bit earlier and enjoy the ride home.

Jack. It's 4am (now 5), you're 6 months old. You've slept through the night before. Go back to damn sleep.

That's my night shift ;-)

You had a choice too :-P

When he's asleep for the third time, you lay him down and oh so carefully remove your arms and think. Oh yeah. I'm the man....... then the twitch, then the sob, then the cry.

Makes me feel like doing a rugby pass with him in to the adjacent wall.

He's a reluctant sleeper that one....and now I can't get back to sleep either :-P
