    Never ever give any kind of tool to a musician. They'll spend 2 hours seeing what notes the thing will make and the next 2 wondering why they haven't been paid!

    On the plus side, there would probably be some funky rhythms coming from the piping as they 'worked'.

    You really are a worry Peeteey.
    And remember ...... if it hasn't got one of "Uncle Flip's" prosthetic kickers it isn't a real motorbike!!!

    Just for a change eh.... better get those buckets in position PT

    Thursday looks good... again....

    The Canterbury Undefined Night Tour keeps looking better all the time.

    Wednesdays seem to be subject to a disproportionate amount of crapness. If you look at the co-efficient of variation squared divided by the std deviation of the ratio of wet/dry days multiplied by the inverse 4th order polynomial of the median periodic regression, then plot the outcome on a Blant-Altman diagram then it becomes quite evident.

    But then it is hump day!
    These aren't the bikes we're looking for....

    I was saying that very thing to my wife just the other day.
    "Darling" I said, "Wednesdays seem to be subject to a disproportionate amount of crapness"
    "Oh?" She said, not lifting her eyes from her magazine.
    "Yes" I said, "If you look at the co-efficient of variation squared ..."

    That's when she slapped me with a rolled up Woman's Day.

    Bless her.

    So 7 hardy souls braved the weather, actually wasn't that bad, alittle cold on the way home. Heading to the Valley Inn via Gebbies Pass, we all tootled along losing Peeteey to a dodgy battery but eventually found him at the pub with a different bike. Good ride and thank you to all that was behind me, hope you didn't have too slow a ride!!

    Been 3 weeks since I've been on the bike and I can feel it in the ol' joints, going to be sore in the morning. Perhaps going back the way we came wasn't such a great idea! Also thanks to everyone for making sure I was in neutral!!

    Yea, t'was a nice ride, apart from losing almost all electrical power. The bike ran, just, but when I turned on the lights the were thing would grind to a halt. Didn't even have enough juice for the led indicators or brake lights!
    Time for a new alternator methinks?

    The look of confusion on some of the faces when I start following them around the Bays and then at the end when I think Stefan and Ben saw me and didn't realise I had gone home to swap bikes. All they saw was me leaving on one bike and arriving on another!

    Thanks to all for a fun evening
