I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

My garage today. Having murders with Mrs.B’s Triumph. Had to rebuild the front caliper, damn thing wouldn’t bleed up. Managed that and now the bastard won’t start. I’ve given it a serious talking to and now I’m ignoring it for a while. I’ll try again later. Maybe sneaking up on it will do the job.

I find ignoring them often works too.

Not in this case. I think I’ll call the bike shop tomorrow. Let them deal with it. Although it’s a bit* irritating spending on a bike that’ll be up for sale as soon as it’s done.

Met up with a couple of 'mates' today for a ride out, had a great route planned around N Yorks and Richomndshire, gobshite mate of a mate said 'nah mate we is going to Lakes' innit' now bear in mind I live and work in the Lakes and know what it is like at this time of year I questioned this only to be shot down in flames, I managed to take them 25 miles down quiet unknown roads to where they wanted to go then hit every cunt in his motorhome and caravan, after 20 minutes of 10mph non-fun I turned around and fucked off home, will be going out on my own tomorrow where I want to go, and know will be free of tourist traffic.

I went for a play in the Dales & found several things including a pub with a funny sign, a self service tearoom & that I still want to stay at Tan Hill one night.

I went to Snowdownia today, sod all pics as I was enjoying the ride. I appear to have done over 1k in three days too, I can't work out why my bike isn't low mileage...
