    Still bloody cold

    Urgh. -3.2° at 8:20. Apparent temperature according to the Trentham weather site is -5.1°C

    The bike doesn't like it.

    See the piccies.

    The gargre rebuild can't be done fast enough

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Tell you what - you obviously need a gargre.



    Or better still - get a gargre. You could put your bike in it.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    wouldn't like to sit on that first thing in the morning, I count myself as a lucky bugger because my bike gets the garage and my wife's car stays outside.
    I ride the dirt, I ride the tide
    I search the outside, search inside
    I know I'll always burn to be

    It's still bloody cold. I've just come in to work and I've gad to wear the sunnies while the rest of me is freezing.

    Can't you just wheel the RF in to the kitchen? My Dad once took a bike apart in the bath, so I can't see that being a problem. (Although my gran did seem to remember this for a very long time).

    I was very tempted to be sick today.

    Maybe I'll go and run myself over with the photocopier or summat. Staple my head to the manager. Tip a potplant over on the nearest dweeboid.

    Surely being unemployed couldn't be that much worse than working here.
    ... and that's what I think.

    hooo DUDE! Look after that thing (a FINE looking bike by the way)...and look after you too. It'd be the perfect seat for "cooling your ardour" if you ever needed it though

    Unemployment is better in every way.


    Except financially.

    I'm basically a professional contributor to bike forums (I think i'm on about 7 or so). But I'm more than a bit bored with that.
    C'mon - someone do/say summat interesting!
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.

    There gets to be a point where the money isn't so important, like when you're starting to lose your health. And your mind.

    Wish I'd brought the car today, then I could just fuck off out the door. It's not so easy to sneak out when I have to go and get changed, come back to my desk, pack my bag, then walk out through the orofice in all my bike gear.

    Maybe I'll go out luncheontime, when everyone will be at the big dinner down the road for the MD. Free lunch. Pah! I'd rather just be free.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.

    That'll freeze ya nuts off... I'll be in Trentham (on business) next to that Pizza-pub with the "HOT frekin toppings" mid July, eat one of those and I'm sure it'll thaw out soon enough.
    I'll pack some thermal undies cause I'm not eating that shit again.

    Like the bike too...
