No one in their right mind intentionally takes a bimble round Carterton - the one good thing about the place? Four roads out :lol
Paul, I trim hedges, not hair And even that not to order - can only get creative when the mood is on me :lol

Took a wander to West Cork with Downey to have the last supper in the Motorcycle grill as it is closing it doors for good this evening.
Great crowd, showing great support for a very popular cafe.
Stopped off at the birthplace of Henry Fords ould lad.
Downey in the Model T hot seat "The sky is the limit" :lol

Had some nice sunshine here today, but the wind has been howling with some heavy showers, so just a relaxing Sunday indoors for me today. If the wind is like this here, what will it be like among the hills?! :eek

That's what I meant, next spring perhaps. Maybe I could pop down your way sometime too, and you show me around the North York Moors. I've got a lot of exploring to do now I'm up here

An ageing test pilot for home grown widgets that may fail at anytime.
Rode for the first time since Aus knocked Eng out of the world cup and coming off my little bike.
Started first time on choke and ran ragged for the first mile and then all was good.

Dropped it. :-(
Leaving work tonight in a pitch black bike park. Kicked the side stand up, wheeled it forward out of the space, kicked the side stand down (obviously not far enough) and leant the bike over. It carried on until it was on it's engine bars.
No damage at all luckily but they're heavy bastards with a full tank ain't they?! :-D
Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore,
too fucked up to care any more.
