... Alpinestar SP-2's that I use when it's not roasting hot have fallen apart (think I got close to 8 yrs, was wearing them when i crashed the ZX10R) After having the Five RFX summer gloves for a while now, I've decided to give some mid season Fives a go.

After 10 hours the battery tested at 33% so I think setting that as the limit should be okay, the fridge has a battery protection feature so won't flatten the battery so far that it causes damage. This is mostly for lunch ...

First fridge test after leaving it on it's battery for 10 hours and the smaller gauge wire which I found was not good, with the bike running it was getting hot so I pulled the fuse and stuck the multimeter in there to measure the Amps, ...

Diesel prices cut after threats of an investigation.

No, not just BREXIT, we've had an ageing population and a skills shortage for many years. Sadly the government (including the previous Labour government to some degree) has managed to convince a majority of voters that Mohamed the brain surgeon is after their job!

Today I washed all the dead bugs off it after yesterday's 310 mile and 13 hour ride to the lakes and North Yorkshire, it's splat time of year. We found a nice place for lunch in the middle of no signal nowhere. Screenshot_2023-05-21-13-49-09-17_3d9111e2d3171bf4882369f490c087b4.jpg ...

... through) & then carried on my merry way. One of them made a half decent attempt to follow me, but even he didn't come back into my rearview after a nice tight corner. On a similar vein, I came across a little bikeshow today, "The Distinguished Gentlemans Ride". Around 100+ bikes ...

I’ve got the F3 interphone, it’s only for rider/pillon comms and ph/sat nav connection. It works really well below 60 mph, after that it struggles due to increase helmet wind noise.

I think there F5 model is for bike to bike with greater range

... MUX wouldn’t start. Scan gauge reported battery at 11.2 Volts. Put the trickle charger on for 5 mins and got enough to kick it into gear, just. So after drop off, bought a new battery. Was on the OEM battery still and it’s a 2019 build, so not done too bad. Also it sits dormant for nearly 4 week’s ...

Bacon, eggs, mushrooms, hash browns, & fried bread.
My heart is a ticking time-bomb after that.

After work and a shopping trip on my way home I got a few hours sleep then been running family errands as I think I'm the only driver on my branch of the family tree

Well, I did manage to get out after all and I got about 20 miles in...but I'm definitely feeling it last night & this morning. My legs feel like spaghetti.
Today I'm going to be washing/detailing a Harley Davidson, and then doing a shedload of laundry.

Contemplating going for a bicycle ride.
I'll see how well my resolve holds up after I get a stomach full of bacon and eggs. I'm not hopeful.

... You and me both mate. the crazy bit of it is, she finishes shift at 3pm and it happened at 3.20pm, normally about the time she normally walks out after handover. But at her 3 month review a couple of days ago the boss said he didn't want to see her hanging back so much, and to focus on getting ...

Being thankful I still have a fiance.. less than 10 mins after Jess finished shift and walked out the entrance from her section of the hospital, a car crashed into the building at the entrance, killing the driver and a pedestrian. Suspected medical episode. ...

Just sad
But I think after chatting at Lucy's I am 100% certain he is so much happier now in his new place, no more pain, no more feeling like crap.
Rest In Peace mate, it was a pleasure to know you.

Took my dad to see mum in hospital after having part of her lung removed thanks to cancer, she's recovering well but there's still excess air being drained so not coming home tomorrow.

Now sat waiting for deliveries.
