The highlights of my day are: Getting up and showeringGoing for a walk (up to about 5km now)Checking email and forums (usually not much there, so it's the work of minutes)Finding some housework to keep me busy. I'm about ready to face the drudgery of work again, just to get out and have someone to talk to. Unfortunately, the vifferbabe phoned my boss on Monday and gave him an earful, and told him I required months of recuperation.... Might make turning up next week look ...
Finally we had a good day. I won't make this one a novel like usual cos I'm still wiped out and sore from yesterday (the party I went to when I got home from the track probably had something to do with that), but here's some stuff. She's really sensitive to gearing. At the moment she's half a gear too high in turns 2 and 5 (although turn 5 is probably more me still trying to figure out how the hell to get around it) and she's up against the rev limiter right beside ...
Found this idea for low sun in winter This is the cheap version http://www.webbikeworld.com/Reviewed...roducts/shade/ This is the more expensive version http://www.super-visor.com/sunblocker.htm Looks a good idea. Does anyone know where get either in NZ? I where glasses that tint in UV light but visor on helmet blocks UV so glasses dont tint. This looks a good solution
Well, after my last blog entry Sissy the ST4 has had very little use (by my standards anyway) having only moved 2,600kms since her 'valve check' was done, oil filters tune blah blah. On a run over the Pahiatua Track yesterday we noticed a few fresh spots under the bike, and a big black drip hanging off the paddock stand mount. Having asked my 'regular' service agent to look into this issue before, (twice no less) and being told it was 'chain splatter, its nothing of concern' ...
... is going to take quite some time. I've lost a lot of condition, and about 6kg of weight, much of which is muscle I put on in the weeks leading up to the operation. Perversely, I was told that fit people often fare worse during major surgery, as they require more anaesthetic and sedatives. That was certainly my experience. My recovery should have been better, but all my 'conditioning' seems to have been gobbled up by a couple of weeks of semi-inactivity and reduced diet. Diuretics ...
Hi all. Am new to this and heads scratchin a bit. forum not bikes. Anyway thought I'd share a bit about the mods done to my newly purchased VTR firestorm. Picked it up in Palmerston North and rode it back to Hamilton. By the time I got home my arse, neck and shoulders were real sore. Ist mod was sending the seat to Mac in Tauranga at MacDonald motor trimmers aka Rider seats. He did a great job and it's made such a difference to the comfort. http://www.trimit.co.nz/ ...
...or five, if you count both hospitals, and count my room in Mercy as a ward. While the goodly St John's Ambulance people were in transit from wherever, my wife was kept busy checking my pulse, giving me aspirin to chew, and otherwise following instructions/answering questions from the person inside the phone. However, the ambos arrived with very little delay, and were all efficiency, friendliness, cheerfulness and concern. They bundled both of us into their brand-new vehicle, and while ...
My wife came and picked up me and my assorted bleongings and paraphernalia (my 'baby' - a cushion to clutch to my chest when coughing, sneezing, farting, or getting in/out of bed; a peak-flow measuring device, and a big bag of droogz), and we headed off home. It was less than a week, but it felt very strange and scary to be out'n'about. It was also rather weathery, after being in a climate-controlled environment. We went for a long trek in the neighbourhood (about 40m left, then back past ...
