Tango

I've been out for a couple of bike rides recently, but not actually got around to posting on here. Anyway, we went for a little walk round one of our circuits that we like on la massive de la clape yesterday afternoon. It's a 10 minute drive from here. There was plenty of evidence of wild boars rooting around in the soil and stones, but we've not actually seen any there. I suspect that they're more active in the early morning or evenings, when there's fewer people about. It's a nice walk and the weather was perfect for it.

For that special someone in your life!

Yeah, love a bit of Porcupine Tree.

Always avoid having a curry before putting on a wet suit!

Misplaced Childhood and Clutching at Straws are my favourite Marillion albums. Can still listen to them now quite happily.

And the ball ache trying to get parts if it needed them! Not for me, thanks!

I saw an XS1100 for sale here recently and the guy wanted about 6000€ for it. Not silly money, like Kawasaki 2 stroke triples go for now, but it's an old bike which can't compete with many newer bikes, so I personally think that it's overpriced. I'm really not swayed by rose tinted nostalgia to pay silly money for bikes that were good in their day but are likely to be a liability now.

I had an XS1100, which wasn't bad, and a TS185, which was a hoot! A mate of mine had a GS1000, which was pretty awesome. Out of them all I'd go for another TS185, just so much fun!

We pay 137€ a month for electricity, we don't have gas. Another month and we'll probably not be using the heating, so it should drop down for a few months, until we have to start using the air-conditioning.

That's ridiculous......nearly as much as the car is worth!
