Doing alright.

Hello you horrible lot,

I thought I'd update you all with some good news. I started an apprenticeship today in precision engineering Its a four year thing, so I'll be well old by the time I finish it, but it took me a long time to decide what I want to do and then to eventually get into it...
Also I'm about to join seggons on the dark side- I passed my car test a few weeks a go, so I'll be getting a car sometime in September (Probably an Astra) Izi is going to uni in Liverpool, and work is about 15 miles away, so I decided a car makes a lot more sense than a bike for those things. I don't fancy Cambridge to Liverpool on the bike... Hopefully I'll get out on the bike more once she's gone away, as I'll have a bit more time to myself

How are you all?

I have to say getting a car is one of my more smarter moves I've made. After just 7 days of not using the bike I had one of the best local bimbles for a long time. My bike also feels like a rocket after driving a car that has no power what so ever. I also may of got carried away with the downpipe of the bike last weekend knowing that it will stay clean.

Anyway it's great that things are going well for you and Izi and congrats on passing the test.

Congrats mate - on both the cage test and the apprenticeship

We need an EAR rideout before the summer disappears so we can all catch up - plus I am itching to put miles on the 'thou

Well done. Will this mean we'll have someone in our region that can make some nice machined parts

Agree with Skip, we need a EAR rideout before the weather turns carp

I missed you at the AR maviczap Sorry about that.

I heard on the grapevine that it was Mikes turn

K (our esteemed moderator) hasn't been around for months (last activity on 30/5/09) so I have sent her a PM to see if she is ok and if she can remove our ancient rideout sticky at the top in readiness for the new one

As I was only there for the rideout and had marking duties it wasnt easy to see everyone - so no I didnt!

Must try harder next time!

Sorry for the derail Sean!

Congratulations Sean

Boy, have you had a hard time of it, and it's not too easy now but getting better eh?

Shame that Izi will be so far away but her loss could well be our gain.

Think there should perhaps be a seperate thread but I think we need a new mod in this section.

Agreed - some new members wouldn't go amiss either!
