Happy birthday, although I thought it was on September 4, 2996

Happy birthday Boss

It’s more about riding position & comfort rather than strength, although if I ever did get one I would put massive crash bars on it so if I ever dropped it it wouldn’t be too far from vertical & then always carry a scissor jack to get it back upright

Well that’s going well isn’t it

Nice one, It’s my bike of choice once I get too decrepit to swing a leg over the mighty Speedtriple

I’ve been on a couple, my main take out was how absolutely ignorant of the most basic rules of the road a lot of fellow participants were.

Which one you taking to Daventry Bikefest ?

also smoke a pipe & smell of wee

I did Bugger all with my bike(s) Started off with a lazy morning then mowing the lawn, thinking that an afternoon bimble was in order, followed by painting 12 fence panels, setting up the water feature for the new season & rubbing down & painting the garden furniture, all well and good except that by the time I had finished ( about 16:00 ) and I thought about going out Mrs Mickly had cunningly fed me a few very welcome refreshing ice cold lagers to help me cool down during my endeavours & now I’m not able to ride I’m sure she planned it as rather than going out for a razz I’m cooking dinner !

The ‘New Bike Grin’ is one of those things that can never be over estimated

Coventry Motofest tomorrow ( it’s also on Sunday )

Hogg End with 35p on the seat ( my number is 35 ) I’ll post it in the proper place once I’ve got a few more.

Mickly went a’tagging today what a complete fiasco … 1st Tilly Trotters Bridal In Leamington Spa - rebranded as just ‘Tillys’ with no sign of Trotters 2nd The 3 Horseshoes at Princethorpe .. shut down & all signs taken down or painted over. 3rd Skilton & Hogg Estate Agents, Rugby - just a bloody residential address with no signs At least I managed to get to Hogg End and then realised I’d forgotten my Number sign so had to improvise .. again

Also your tank breather might be blocked

Saturday & Sundays Nob is me !! Went out on the Speedtriple on Saturday, stopped for some fuel & realised that my phone wasn’t charging despite being plugged into the USB port ( the USB port part of my Garmin 590 satnav) Went home and tried to work out why not. Tried fitting the nav unit to the cradle Phone still not on. Tried switching the Nav unit on, nothing except a charging icon, couldn’t use the menus. Got in a strop, took the lot off the bike & went for a ‘spirited’ run. More investigation… Decided to charge the Nav unit using the domestic supply but couldn’t work out why the battery was so flat as it’d been switched off since November …. But, wait, No, it hadn’t…. Stupidly I had only pressed the power button once putting it into sleep mode ( still using a small amount of power) rather than for 5 seconds & using the power off touch screen option - what a Nob !! On Sunday I charged up a spare battery in the shed, connected the cable & still zilch on the phone, did some more research & for the USB outlet to work the Nav Unit MUST be in the cradle and switched on … what a Nob again. I put it in & on then got 5V from the cable inserted into the USB port.. happy days …. Nope, plugged it into the phone & got a message ‘Accessory might not be supported’ So spent ages researching Garmin/I-phone compatibility ….. only to discover that the I-phone doesn’t like the link cable I was trying to use, used another one & now all is fine so just need to refit it all … This is not the end of the saga … I complained to Mrs Mickly about the cable, her answer “If you mean the short white one, I told you it was dodgy & to chuck it” What a complete NOB !!
