Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
It was a serious one. It started just as I got back to the bike. I struggled into my waterproofs and by the time I crossed Welsh Bridge it had stopped!

Starmer's speech to the Commons earlier. Even though he wasn't exactly short of material, he certainly made sure that every point hit home.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
It was a very good speech. Shame it has taken him so long to come up with anything like that on any subject.

Abba Skylift arrived today. Got it built and tested it.
Should be very useful for maintenance on the Bike, and giving it a proper clean in-between the Winter seasons. |

Having a spirited ride for a while with a Honda NC30 which had an aftermarket can. Gorgeous noise.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Properly cleaned and reproofed my leathers. Very satisfying job.
I bought this Dainese two piece second hand from then org member markmoto back in 2011 and they've been brilliant. Perfect fit and very comfy. I need to get a few zips and pockets repaired soon I think, but I would say if I continue to look after them they'll see me out. Nikwax Leather Cleaner followed by Nikwax leather restorer. Negligible cost and always brings them up a treat. Last edited by garynortheast; 24-04-22 at 05:06 PM. |

SotD - One of my daughters, Eleri, has accepted the offer of a university place in Cardiff. Our two days down there visiting won her over.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
I'm really happy about it. Not least because she's doing what she wanted to do and moving back to Wales, even if it is the other end of the country!
Just as long as she doesn't start speaking with a hwntws accent! |

Had this with my eldest, really unhappy at Brighton, course was not as described. She came home and is now doing her Masters degree at Ipswich.
