No rides for a week...

[slofox]

This is getting annoying. It's a week since I rode The Vixen. And about two weeks since I had a decent ride.

Moving house has a very disruptive effect on lifestyle - no wonder they say it is one of the most stressful things you can do...

Bike is now in herself's garage - because mine is not yet secure. That's only a little over 6 clicks away and I do have a key. It shouldn't be a problem.

But there's all this other crap that has to be done.

I've had tradesmen coming to quote for all sorts of stuff - removing the textured ceiling that is falling off anyway. Installing a garage door. Installing a heating device. Installing the sky dish. And I have to go buy a whole lot of goodies as well. Like a new fridge (old one is like an elephant in the room), a dishwasher (wine shops need to wash gazillions of glasses), a TV, a sound system...(those last two are actually therapeutic purchases to soothe my troubled soul over losing my nice big house and moving to a tiny shit-hole...).

It all takes time. It all has to be done before work. And herself still wants to be a star of the ballroom so I still have to do a gazillion hours per week of practice time. Despite having a couple of cracked ribs...(bloody cat )

So I haven't been out on a decent ride for yonks...pretty soon I'm just gonna have to whack out...

Count yourself lucky - I haven't taken the bike out for a proper ride since last year. Hand is still phucked from a previous crash, so at least you can ride!

That is true - so long as I don't fall off and land on these fooked ribs...

Look at it this way, your future is brighter than mine. I have had one run since February & I'm still trying to get roadworks crap off me bike.

Wonder when the 4 day week is going to kick in?

[Little Miss Trouble]

Fuck, I'm going to have to agree with SMOKEU.
A whole week? Quit your moaning

Just to rub some salt in the wound, I went on a really nice ride out to Kawhia last saturday. Those roads are good fun! The Vixen would love them ;D

If it makes you feel better, my ass is spectacularly sore after a North shore to hamilton county and back today.

Those balaclavas dont eliminate as much shear noise as I'd have hoped.

I find Ear Protex plugs from The Rock Shop to be rather good for sub $40.

Oh I nab safety plugs from work, fuck a big twin, wind shear AND a windscreen that directs air at my neck. Will give those plugs a gander, cheers, I find the foam ones to be rather touch and go.

I used to use them but they would work their way out and ended up hurting

The industry standard orange foam plugs? I find that they protrude from the ear too much after a while, and any/all reverberations from the tailpipes and turbulence are transferred through the foam.
I've tried the protech's before, after a quick guggle. My ears are apparently retarded and don't like them.
Might try those silicone rubber pucks next...
