Divorce her. Take up those offers you’ve had from her younger, single best friend … Or friends … The sex will be good … for a while … Then you’ll miss the wife …. She’ll miss you, and after she’s got rid of Lars you can rebuild your life based on love … and monthly visits to that adult’s only club at Lutterworth .. on the Bike …!

What’s its insurance cat ? Possibly a question you should have had answered before you handed over the cash …

Move down to a 400 … grandson has just insured Honda CBR 400 , fireblade look alike for £1150 fully comp , 1 years NCD, 20 year old. it goes like a rocket and only cost 3k

Went for a ride out with Connor ( Aprillia Tuono 125 ) and Molly on my pillon. Into the Peaks then down my favourite short thrash … Derne Valley Parkway… from Junction 36 M1 to Junction 37 A1M at Doncaster this stretch of road has roundabouts every 2 - 3 miles and is great for cranking the bike over under power. One of the roundabouts is bowl shaped, you have to pop over the lip on the way out eastbound …. Dropped into J&S Doncaster… Connor needed to buy something …??? I now have a Cardo Intercom ….. …. Connor’s fed up with trying to work out where we’re going and what lane I’m about to switch out of to head a totally new direction without the use of indicators … I baulked at fitting it to my Arai so it’s installed in my LS2 helmet … The next ride should be fun ………. …..

Washed the 400 + miles of grime off the bike from last Mondays big ride ( for me ) .... off to Morrisons to jet wash the thick deposits of chainlube off the suspension linkages and chain side wheel rim .... such fun ..... oil change when i get home ....

Planned with military precision .. then pretty much ignored …. Go up, go across, come down, go across and go home …. Family loved the AirTag…. They logged in to see where I was half a dozen times …. When home I handed the AirTag back and installed an AirTag detection app on my phone ..

I fell asleep in the bath and snored !!!! And I got receipts from the Shell station at Whitby, Penny’s Garage west of Whitby, Southwaite Services Greggs and the BP petrol station north of Kendal …. Because there’s always someone with a bad attitude ..

Went for a ride out today. Set off at 0545hrs. Rotherham, Beverley, Scarborough, Whitby, Middlesbrough, Newcastle on Tyne, Carlisle, Penrith, Keswick, Kendal, Skipton, Weatherby, Doncaster, back home. Poured with rain as far as Middlesbrough then mostly cleared up … Fantastic ride out … had an Apple AirTag in my bag so wife and family could see where I was … worked well. 433 miles on the odometer….. I’ll take that …10 hours 15 mins in the saddle …. Great day out ..£36 in fuel with 2 bars left on the gauge and £5.90 for a Greggs lunch at Southwaite services ..

Any local shop that sells plastic model kits (airfix etc) will have super fine filler for use on the models they sell .

Long enough for a hot chocolate from the cafe across the road , … yes it was full !!!, .. My grandson calls the V- Strom the “HGV” …. I call his Aprilla Tuono “ The Toy” ….

What a beautiful day, warm and dry …. Off we went to the beach … well, Cleethorpes. It was packed! Prom car park full, people wandering up and down the beach .. no one having a paddle … as the water is about half a mile away at low tide …. Even the pier fish and chip shop was busy , cafes all open and seaside tat shops doing trade … I’m baffled ….. 163 miles, mostly M and A roads and a tootal around b roads at the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds … First day this year without handlebar heaters being used …Huzaah !!!

Full price transfer to your secondary account before collection… immediately transfer the money away from the account …. It’s like this … the money arrives in your account … you hand over the goods … within 2 hours the transaction is recalled …. You’ve got no money and no bike …. UK banks facilitate scams on a daily basis … I’ve not been a victim but my company has … Doubt it … during banking hours transfer a sum of monies to your wife … within 2 hours call your bank and recall the payment ….. it’s that easy …..

J&S at Doncaster has a nice cafe and a good crowd at weekends … CMC at Clay Cross has a busy cafe even during the week ….. both worth a visit …

My bike was stolen and recovered after the police followed the drunken rider, without helmet , for 6 miles before he crashed it into a driveway … he ran away but the officers knew who it was … My bike was written off and I was paid £670 for it …. I bought the scrap bike for £125 from the insurance company and replaced the ignition switch from my stock of spares … since I’d only paid £400 for the bike off eBay …. I’d made a profit …… ish ….. He went to court and I was awarded £500 in damages .. which he paid at the court .. I’m considering this as a business model ….

I rode my V Strom for 6 months, including a trip to the TT, without a valid MOT … we only realised because my grandson did a dvla check using his phone to test the software …. Oops
