That was after I shook half of the Sahara off it

I have been in that place, very very hard to discribe the pain..Then my new bike was delivered the day i was at the low point.. I know it sounds naff...but the bike and the thought of not being around to ride free in the fresh air changed my mind. The first time....Ren and Pete,and a few others helped me thou they did not know at athe time.. Stay focused folks and talk to your mates..just cos we are men does not make us super hero's..Talk. PS: i have now seen the light...It is biking and your mates.

You are going to have to be careful riding with a colostomy bag.

It will be a month next time.

Quite enjoy puttering about in the garage just minding my own business and doing what I want, but inevitably there is always something else that needs dealing with. Today it was mice which were in massive sack of rice (which for some reason we have to buy in bulk just in case the population of Beijing drop by and want a snack). Where there are two there will be 12 more so set up traps in places the dog can't stick his nose. Emergency over I went back to minding my own business and wired up the rear indicators, completely forgetting I need to stick a resistive load in line somewhere. Realised when I tested them and just heard the relays singing. Wired up the rear brake switch but can't test that until I put some fluid in the system. Temp sensor for the new clocks goes into the drain port under the water pump, which of course has the hex socket rounded off so spent a while swearing at it and eventually got it off. Was going to fit and connect up the battery but couldn't find the crimp on terminal connectors I know I have somewhere so had to order some more. Was going to try and make an exhaust, got all the bits of tube I have out and bodged it into a rough idea of how I can get it all together but don't want to start welding until I have the back wheel on with a tyre so I can see how much clearance I will have. My one tangible achievement after all that is that the clock now works on the new speedo

Was it the same camera and did the wash it after taking it out of your ass before it went down your throat?

Nobody knows what you’re talking about Marcel, give it a rest please.

You’re welcome. And welcome back, but please don’t spam the place or it’ll be a longer stop next time.

So only got 4 runs in today, the wind was blowing a gale straight at the start line and the rain stopped track time all morning then a few cars ran and the last 2 of the 6 cars had a big prang and stopped racing for another 40 mins, so my 60ft is 0.04s consistent and my e.t is 0.05s consistent and im trusting the rear tyre grip abit more by getting WOT earlier in the run, so I achieved my goals with a few improvements so even though got limited track time im happy enough

Well you’re no help then are you?

Because I was putting adjustable ones in otherwise I would need to remove the rocker arms.

No just and oil leak...seems to be coming from rear cylinder base gasket..and if they do have to tear it down...wyll its open..new timing chain, guides, tensiner..and it's not a job for me crawling on my knees..

When I used to take the train to go to school, every year the trains would stop two or three times because someone threw themselves onto the line. It’s a violent way to go too, that leaves a mess, so you must really be in despair instead of just wanting to find a quiet way out.

I have a railway line on the other side of a field behind my house. I tried to do my normal dog walk up the track beside the field and over the railway bridge a few days ago but lots of police/ambulance/fire engines up there so went a different way. Turns out some poor soul decided to end it all by jumping onto the tracks in front of a train. Walked up there today and lots of people have left flowers on the path over the bridge. I cannot imagine what circumstances would make someone take their own life and I that way. Made me very thankful for my life and family, and even the work things which have been weighing on my mind a bit recently. Sorry to be morose but every so often you have to think how lucky you are.
