Just had a therapeutic afternoon, had to take My Shadows bike up to Damerells to be looked at. I took a route avoiding the A30 as a 125 on a duel carriageway is not much fun. Anyway bimbled there on B roads sat in the sun for an hour and bimbled back again on a similar route. Thoroughly enjoyed it, different sort of biking but very enjoyable nonetheless. Terminal velocity on the CB125F is 63 mph with my fat arse on it Some serious vibey bollock tingling at that speed . Really fun trying to keep momentum up and making sure to hit the bottom of hills in the right gear. I did notice that it goes a lot better without a pillion and I know that’s obvious on a 125 but still made quite a difference in the amount of times you have change down. Two more sold CB125F’s I would love to know how many they actually sell in a year. Couple of Hornets Nice but spendy

True, but I am lucky to have one 3 miles from me and another about 20 miles proper places run by genuine people. Doesn't hurt that he one 3 miles from me is married to one of my cousins.

Come on I didn't give any gorey details And I know loads Bloody charming me

It's alright mate it's not compulsory. People die all the time same as people are being born all the time. I suppose I see more of it because of my job but believe me people die all the time and while it is sad it is part of life. Doesn't mean you are next. Chin Up that Man!

I am lucky enough never have had to have one of them things but they send shivers up my spine. The medics use them a lot in my line of work, I gotta look after the stock levels and shit concerning them. I have been told in detail how they work and probems concerning them. Makes me fuclking cringe. Apranently for the medics fitting a female one is much worse than a male one.

I suspected that when they rushed you in for the stents, but didn't saying anything as I didn't want to worry you. I had a similar experience although I wasn't confirmed to have had a heart attack until roughly a month afterwards. I had no chest pain although I didn't feel well and was blue lighted to A&E. They reckon I had the actual heart attack up to 3 days before I felt unwell and was rushed in. Apparently they discover a minor heart attack by blood test but the markers from that dissipate in a few hours so mine wasn't discovered until I had an ultrasound weeks later. It's not the end of the world mate but a warning. Listen to it and take things easy, don't ignore the medics. Get well soon

Nope don’t want it.

Did you get some of the good stuff when they did your stents? They gave me some Diazepam, bloody lovely stuff.

Took her out again today but it is pretty hard to find anywhere for her to ride. Our normal place is open today so we were a bit limited. Her phone mount came today with vibration damper so had to be fitted straight away.

Bloody hell Pete youm falling to bits. I had 4 stents 2 years go, took couple of months to settle down again but felt pretty good ever since. Glad they caught it in good time before you had a heart attack. . Do what you are told and get well soon mate.

Funnily enough I have a M1 Ipad pro 12.9" and while it will do lots of things well once you got used to the clunky Ipad OS I only really use it for watching stuff now, everything is so much easier on a MacBook in comparison. The one Apple product I wouldn't buy again. It's a great bit of kit but I just don't use it's potential. Not sure if it is a clunky operating systems or an old and clunky operator

I had my back wheel step out on some gravel on Sunday just gone. No where near as bad as yours but still a full clench moment, didn’t help that I had my youngest pillion. I did laugh afterwards once I had calmed down a little. What struck me was my 16 year old daughter shouting ‘what the fuck was that dad’. Haven’t heard her use that language before.

I never thought I would say this but Buckster is spot on, an Apple Silicone MacBook Air is what you need. I have the M1 which is coming on for 4 years old and it still blows me away by how good it is. I promise you it will be a revelation. Compared to your old MacBook which must be an intel machine given the timeframe. But still fix your old one as well, still a viable machine. Replacement batteries are never as good but if you could source a Duracell or one from Ifixit it would be a good bet. Bear in mind that your older Mac will be stretched by newer software and that will also affect battery life and longevity.

Nice try

I may have more patience with my precious daughters than pretty much anyone else on the planet. Not sure I would make a good teacher in general. Although I have taught several people to sing since 'I have started my singing group, but that's not hard really all about confidence and training your ear.

Got to take my Shadow out for another riding lesson this morning. Due to a combination of her being ill, both of us working and rubbish weather we haven’t been out for a lesson for 3 weeks. When the rain blew through today we took that opportunity to go out. Went to the local Market World that only opens Sat Sun and Wed so closed today with an empty car park. Really pleased with her progress today. For starters she remembered everything from earlier lessons and pulled away, stopped, changed direction figure of 8’s and the like. Brilliant and built her confidence. So much so I got her changing gear today which was great to see. Feels like she is making real progress. Halfway through the lesson we stopped for a snack and talked about what happened, couple of stalls and stuff, but generally all good. Anyway after the break got her out there again and she is using the first 3 gears now with some degree of comfort. Doing well so brought the lesson to an end on a high. Rode her home and got her a treat in the garage on the way. Enjoyable day with my youngest. Rubbish photos I know but concentrating on the job in hand.

Probably and would have been twice as good and lasted twice as long.

Should have bought a Mac

As is Cornish here, we nearly lost it but it is coming back. Every college course to learn Cornish is always fully booked. I can sing a couple of songs in Cornish but can't speak it, I understand some but not enough to get by. Margh-Sowsnek

I must admit my average MPG does go up when I'm out with this bunch. Good company but it is definitely driving Miss Daisy spec when Gary is with us, better when he is not.

Okay

Just had chance to sit down and read this. Bloody interesting report. I would love to do something similar. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

Pretty and all but aren't they gonna be a pain in the van?

Happy Birthday, make sure the hangover is a good one
