... took over a gym, but appears we have been bumped out again now. Also got my first special item, metal coat, which I'll need to evolve my Scyther. Being in a seaside town picked up a Octillery and a Mantine and about a dozen more Magikarp, though still miles of evolving it. Funniest poke was the ...

That isn't my bike.

Unfortunately lost a substantial contract at work a few weeks ago so for now any significant additional spending is on hold for the time being. It is however on the list for future investment.

I assume the fueling was altered to suit the 853 engine Duke.

Has it got a choke ? Or idle adjuster ?

Pop it back into JHP if it's being a pain. Your a good customer I m sure they would look after you.

Boxercise was good tonight. It's nice being able to do circuits without getting a headache.

Finished nightshift and got in bed at 730am after being up for 36 hours straight. I then got woken up 3 hours later at 1030am and spent all day upto 5pm trying to get the house sale to go through. Didn't happen and now I've got a full 12 hr nightshift ...

I like the concept but being of a mechanical bent I always worry about reliability when it comes to electrical activation over mechanical.

... for that 3/4 to fully tucked position. I need to get used to the visor lock, I seem to not use it as i forget then pushing it down and then not being able to pick the visor up again - I should get used to this though! Vents seem very good. Only had to use the front to stop/ slow down the fogging ...

80? Pah! I used to push bike in 100 mph winds, through snow drifts in bare feet when I was a young'un.

Nah, fair call. That's fair old blowing!

If the aliens are coming for us, I'll go the day I've had it can't be any worse and a being bummed by an alien would actually be an improvement

I'm loosing faith we will get their tbh Rossgo and being equally honest I'm not sure I want to continue with these people in any case. I would have pulled out yesterday but my wife insisted we hang in a little longer. However saying that the builder ...

... trackdays. Smallboy are getting a 2017 GSXR which I would probably have a go on. I rode a 2012 GSXR1000 and that was pretty bloody good despite being a 7 year old design at that point. 3rd gear and the wheel was pattering on the tarmac - just floating.

Working from home. Or trying to. I'm being bombarded with emails. I'm sure people think home working means swinging the lead, but I tend to do more at home because I can get my head down. It's nice and peaceful in the house.

Unfortunately our recent house sale was very similar, and I was being pushed by the property we where buying as they wanted a really quick completion. The cherry on the cake was when, 2 days from exchange, our buyers decided they where entitled to 10k of ...
