I didnt realise this was a hobby now but it has been a strange couple of years.

It’s for putting on my rhubarb (cue jokes about preferring custard) and using in the veggie garden.

Do you put it in an album or on display somewhere?

Maybe it's the dogs annoying the swans. I mean you are encroaching on their milieu. Although swans are dickheads.

The dogs are not to bad, on our regular mooring they swim passed and dogs just watch. 

Where we are at the moment people feed the swans. So the swans come over begging for food, the dogs then create.

 

Of course a swan hissing trying to get it's head on the boat is the dogs fault. Because we won't feed the swans.

 

Already had the comment "the dogs should be better trained".  He was also the person who had earlier who told me he had the tallest mast in here, so I didn't pay to much attention.

As I remember in the boat owning fraternity some people consider the tallest mast the same way some bikers bang on about horsepower.

I'm being ultra lazy and having a dealer fit some Ultimate Addons heated grips to replace the failed throttle sided OE Yam grips. Not sure which of the demo bikes I'll be taking out yet though.

Having a quiet sit back after a hectic week and steeling myself for Nigeria to come. A place that is not high on my list of must see destinations.

Is that a customised seat Ian if so where did you get it done? All looks great !

Motor goes in for its first service next week.  I spent the day valeting it inside and out, including making the engine bay gleam.  It looks like it just left the showroom.

Always do this on my motors first annual service.  I have been offered some fantastic deals in the past by dealers looking to put them on their forecourt.

 

This un especially.  12 months old and just 2750 miles on the clock.  It helps having changed my job and the daily commute now being just four miles from drive to car park.

I may be tempted to let them buy it back if they offered, and buy a cheap hack to get to work.  A new car with new car monthly payments and doing just 2750 miles a year is very expensive per mile motoring.

I would use my pushbike, but the rural main roads on the route have no street lamps, have steep grass verges and are 60mph limits.  I am just not brave / stupid enough ( delete as applicable) to use my pushbike on them esp in winter.

A lot of cyclists have been killed on them over the years.

MOT'd the 500, passed with no advisories then taxed it. Just putting the clock/voltmeter back on and a new (to me) tomtom satnav, as the other one covers the clocks. May refit the engine crash bars before taking it out on the road

Hi Mike

The saet is by Viper. The only place I can see images of them these days is the just bandits website but I am sure they are still about.
