It takes 10 minutes to replace the master cylinder and another 10
minutes to bleed the system.

They all do that, sir.

I've put some shelves up that I made from cheap treated pine boards
bought at Wickes and a sensible number of L-brackets under each one.
Got too many bikes to be able to afford losing floor space.

 

Before divorce, obviously.

 

Dan L scribbled on the back of a napkin:

No, you're not...

- Finish the two restorations so I can actually ride the CB and the XL.
- Have a garage clearout
- Have a bit of a bike clearout so I can fit another SOB in the garage
- Get another classic to swear at, possibly something Italian or a
Triton
- Work out why I've got this distinct nasty feeling that I'm about to
screw up my life again
- [Optional] Build a supercharged 1st generation Mazda MX-5. Because
I want to...
- Sell this friggin' Range Rover of mine. Not optional.

 

What's wrong with it? I thought that bike was indestructible.

 

Re-read your ever-so-slightly edited posting in my reply....

 

You moved to Ashford.

HTH.

For the record, I haven't been near it.

You don't like the rest of us, then?

Yup, they passed mine twice )

I refer the honorable gentleman to the answer I gave some moments ago.

of wisdom:

No need to read it. In my defence I'd started drinking when I got in
but, having luck on my side, fell asleep quite quickly.

I'm awake again now

<Reads>

Ooooohhh. Actually, that never entered my head and now I'm scared.

 

Lozzo scribbled on the back of a napkin:

Probably the wrong subset of UKRM then...

I dunno.

Anyway, getting back to fests and shit. I might not be at EOSM. I am
meant to be in Spicland on my holidays, there's a big feast on around
that time and I don't want to miss it. I have an idea the weekend that
EOSM is booked for is the weekend I am meant to be riding back home.

I am checking with the Spic-rellies as I type, to confirm dates.

 

Bear said...

I aint sure about that. So I get to do the arranging and don't get the
pleasure of attending. I can't get my fucking head round that concept.

Just been confirmed. The Festa Santa Maria is on 15th August, I was
planning on riding back the next weekend, which happens to be the date
booked for EOSM 2006. I might well not be there.

 

And bloody expensive. 1st trackday? Why not go a few extra miles and get
a cheapy at Mallory?

I realise Chimay is popular amongst folks around here (as a result of
togtours) but there are other foreign destinations, you know.

Not me.
