On route to the ferry, sausage and chips in Wickham

Preparing everything for the NL trip! We leave the house for Alicante at 5AM on Wednesday morning.

Last sleep in my own bed tonight for a while, the joys of the tarp and the bivvy bag await me

I use a very similar bag for flights @XTreme, but mine is a KTM bag . So far it hasn't broke down once ..........

As soon as the ground staff see it they’ll probably offer you assistance. How long are you away for?

Yes when i take new riders on that lane i tell everyone to just keep going don't stop but leave a minute gap between the guy in front before setting off, there is a gate half way up in the worst possible place to start off again i usually go up and open that before everyone giving them a clear run. There were other riders not with the group coming down so that didn't help either.

looked like a sniper up on the grassy knowle got him

Just watching a video of a TRF outing on the weekend with some new to the trails riders that poor Norden and brand new and the guy at 7:20

Doubled the value of the car now Clive!

Dacia/Renault are shite, do not stock the window switches, have to order one in, could be 3 weeks till they receive it, but (the guy said) it may well end up on back order. But when he said how much for said switch £85 I said Forget it.

Got out of bed at 5:30 this morning to get to a site in Tenby to disconnect a valve the people I’m meeting were a hour late so that’s pissed me off to start. Luckily the valve turned out to be a plug in job undo four screws and it’s unplugged now I’m sat here waiting for these two numpties to fix it but I don’t think they have a clue what they’re doing not often I get an easy job

That would do for me Bob…….must get another dirt bike of some kind to tick the Stella box. Maybe something very unsuitable……….errrr maybe not a DR600S though

My brother and his wife had their first baby this morning. So I'm an Aunty for the first time. Weird!

Just inexperience

Got a 2nd hand switch off of Flea Bay........£12.

Okay, so as long as I get the CB back before then it won’t be a problem. Safe trip mate.

The wife is taking one of those cases on wheels and I'll just be taking hand luggage for my laptop and any other odds and ends which don't go in the big case. I was going to take one of the backpacks I've got but then I found this......a freebie from David Jones Honda Centre in Shrewsbury when I bought a new Transalp 20 years ago. Never actually used it before.......but it's a decent size, much more space than a backpack. And it fits in with the Honda lifestyle of course!

A few years ago he said he wanted to have kids, preferably a girl and she'd be just like me. I hope he get's his wish, it'll be good payback for what a pita he's been over the years

Could’ve been similar for us last night as our very nice Belgian neighbours let their place to a Spanish family who then invited at least a dozen more with four dogs between them. Continuous banging euro-pap tunes from one of the cars which they turned up loud enough so they could rave around the pool which is on the other side of the house. Because I was in pirate mode yesterday I was all for asking them ‘politely’ to turn the music down but I was persuaded by the galley maid to video it and send it to our Belgian neighbours. Worked a treat, music went off within a couple of minutes. Apparently our Belgian neighbours rang one of them and told them to turn the fucking music off as there was a convalescing pirate next door. Had a few dirty looks this morning as they shuffled around the garden, a few heavily slammed car doors too. One of them caught his fingers as he shut the drivers door………. laugh? I nearly shat myself.

Absolutely no planning at all going on there, and a lot of stopping specially dictated by other people.

Spent all afternoon in the hospital with the Mrs. She was in excruciating pain and I suspected her kidney stones have flared up. She ended up on a drip for a couple of hours and feels better having been dosed up to the eyeballs with antibiotics. I even had to cook my own tea.

If its the same in other parts of the UK they ain't sunbathing or sitting outside a pub,, pissing it down here.

Be worth even more when i put £30 of E10 in it.

Nice pen collection Fred

We get back to the house around 9PM Saturday evening!

more like that train in the thomas the tank engine stories who refused to come out of the tunnel cos it was raining...

Everything looks good in the primary but I had to get hold of some suitable steel bar to make a locking bar with which I am working on right now.
