Got a 2 hour ride in, saw the chiro, and finished wrapping presents at midnight. Then got an email from work saying they don’t want me using sick leave for my surgery and that I need to organise it during my time off. So currently wide awake at nearly 2am stewing over that. The date the surgeon gave...

Cheers guys, hopefully that’s the case then. He said he wasn’t enjoying it due to the pain in his hip and was considering selling the bike. Hopefully he waits till after the op and gets a new lease on life.

7 mile trail run this morning, quick reccy for a route I'll be leading next week. 7.5 miles on the trail again tonight with the group. For some odd reason, I'm feeling a little tired now.. You’re a running nutter, seriously don’t know how you do it. You do more miles than I used to do km’s even at ...

Snow? What snow

It’s Christmas Eve! Well it is in my house today which means I’ll be wrapping pressies and shopping for Christmas lunch goodies. Weather is good so if I can get a chiro appt and get my neck to release the tight muscle, Jess and I might head out on the bike for an hour or two.

I don’t have a wife anymore and my girlfriend doesn’t live with me and itsn’t financially dependant/connected with me. So it’s all up to me now! But saying that Jess is just as keen on biking as me and wants me to buy her a bike to learn on and I showed her a thruxton a few days ago and she said “ s...

Surgery booked in and perfect timing too! Op is two days after I should be at work in Feb and I need minimum 3 weeks recovery, so I guess I won’t be going to work at all that swing

Least she’d be easy to catch, save on duct tape and roofies

Did my Christmas shopping, kids ended up getting pretty expensive scooters as by the time I found a shop that sold them I had had enough, unfortunately it was a pro shop so it cost me a bomb.

Oh not really, just a bit of history! But yeah if there’s no shop branded ones probably nothing I can’t get elsewhere online. Cheers anyway dude

Hey Kwacky, any chance you are calling in there before it closes? Be keen to get one of those T-Shirts you posted on FB if you are, preferably one with Triumph Birmingham written on it (if that exists) I’d PayPal you the dosh.

I love trail riding (what we call it down here) did a good 10 yrs of it. In NZ it’s easy, lots of National Parks and no rego needed as long as your not on public roads. Did about 3 yrs worth in Aussie as well during my military posting in the late 90’s. Had a Xt250, it250, it465, kdx200 and ended wi...

Put a bit of effort into dinner last night, did slow cooked pork belly with BBQ marinade, sweet potato roasted wedges and steamed vege. First time I had my kids walk in from school and ask what smelled so delicious!

Be surprised if there isn’t a app you can use D, we have one in Aussie called Fires Near Me, has alerts etc and predicted fire paths etc, very valuable during fire season here

I could help you fix it with one hit, if you like?? (punch) :D That’s what got me in this position in the first place. First break was at 15, smack in the nose from a mate that was totally uncalled for, he had major anger problems. Second was at 20, barrage of about 6 hits to the face, and in all f...

Wish my dad laughed at me, he hates bikes and literally takes every opportunity to remind me how lucky I am after my last off My dad has ridden all my life, I’ve got photos of me sitting on his bikes at 2 yrs old. He’s 68 and still has a bike, even after a long struggle with bowel cancer and ongoin...

Now watching The A Word.

How are you finding that series Jon? I tried to watch Atypical but it was all to close to home and I ended up an emotional mess after the first episode.

That’s the idea D, hopefully solve the sleep apnea, morning headaches, repeated sinus infections and a crooked snout all in one hit!

Not liking the sound of that!

Technically a cartilage removal/straightening and trimming of tissue to open up the airways.

I know my nose was a bit munted (been broken twice) but I was quite surprised how bad the airways were looking on the CT scan.
