Tinkicker Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I am languishing with a nasty cough, sore throat and headache. Took the car for its first service this morning and managed to get down a BK Double bacon cheesburger before coming home. If the missus is really lucky, I may declare a state of emergency and ....(insert pathetic cough)... announce a full blown case of man flu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH had same symptoms coming back from London. Did a test and hey presto positive. I'm negative at the moment and enjoying a bacon sandwich after a good ride out round the cotswolds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Frog Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Damn I paid the dealer extra for a backrest and rack lol. She is fun especially between about 60 and 90 though. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seat is a customised Tallboy seat! Hope the dealer gave you all the bits to take it back to original - Cam Kit, exhausts, Shields, Original plate mount! Traded it for an ultra limited in Snake Venom Green! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeHorton Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Bought a new commuting lid. I now need a flip front again to show my dace to security to get in the car park at work. My old one was falling apart. Went for bright yellow so I'm more visible in Birmingham rush hour traffic. I hoped I'd not have to move back to city centre working but needs must. Went and tried before I buyed which is a must for helmets I think. Its comfy nowhere near my scorpion 1400 carbon which is my leisure/touring lid but was still comfy and a good fit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mississippi Bullfrog Posted March 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2023 I will be delivering the model boat I built for my father-in-law. The radio and motor were the last things to be fitted. Sea trials were held in our bath. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeHorton Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Lazy weekend feel tired back up to full working after recuperative hours post op, still feeling drained. Gave me chance to fiddle with the settings on the Africa twin set the customizable modes up one for shitty rainy weather and one for v lively. I'm guessing I'll be using the shitty rainy setting for the next few weeks if I take the bike out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinkicker Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) I made a presentation case for the Missus's gun. My rifles have slips, my Sig Sauer P226 sleeps in its Sig plastic case, yet wifeys cowboy gun was roughing it in an old cardboard box. This offended my OCD. So procured an old empty Edwardian antique cutlery canteen from the bay of E and set about ripping out all the insides, aging the outside, making my own label and changing it into a Colt revolver presentation case. She thought I was mad, but loves it now it is finished. Edited March 12, 2023 by Tinkicker 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_M Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Preparing for the arrival of guests. We have friends and relatives descending on us for much of the spring and summer now. I do enjoy hosting, but it’s a bit of a strain on progressing the house renovations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinkicker Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Completed the finishing touches to the case. The antique case latches arrived as did the carrying handle, but in the end I decided that an original case would just have had latches fitted. Fitted the last few details. The ammo tin could do with a bit of aging. Looks too bright and new. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickly Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) Got a new motorcycle project, it’s a non starter, so this weekend I have been mostly swearing at it - which as everyone knows is 100% in effective Just had a thought, as it’s a BMW, maybe I should learn some German swear words Edited March 19, 2023 by Mickly 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinkicker Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) Nothing, laying up. Last week my left ankle suffered a bout of tendonitis, so was hobbling around at work all week with that. This week, tendonitis has gone, but putting all the weight on the right leg means my feckn right knee has given up, so have been hobbling round at work all week again. I guess I am paying the price for all the motocross racing, trials competitions, games of squash and bodybuilding in the gym when I was a yoof. And all the heavy lifting, kneeling on concrete and laying in puddles getting trucks and heavy equipment on the move again. My legs are pretty much worn out. Getting old... Not to be recommended. It is not for sissies. Edited March 24, 2023 by Tinkicker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Tomorrow will be spent with more time driving to/from a customers site than the time spent completing the work required. Still it's all overtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
