Gripe of the day - What is yours? - Page 496 - SV650.org

My bike spent a lot of it's life in London and Wales, now finally settled with me

I had some wiring (garmin and 12v socket) to properly route below the tank so while I was there changed the clutch cable. Selector linkage needed a little muc off(similar to wd40), some persuasion that rhymes with the former and well, the sprocket cover inner had nearly an inch thick sticky gloop of chain oil and welsh countryside.

I nearly cried, but spraying it with GUNK is oddly satisfying

nowt to do with the accident. had been feeling a bit under the weather for a while but not bad enough to see the doc. monday night was meemaw time and the angiogram yesterday to find out that one of my grafts had collapsed. put a stent in and sorted. while in hospital they managed to collapse every vein available for needles so my arms now look like a junkies. to top that off when they pulled the angiogram cord out they ferked it big style and took 5hrs to control the blood discharge from the artery at my groin as they lied to me when i got my bypass.

even bigger shock was when i was getting discharged they said to find my own way home from Edinburgh to Kirkcaldy. after a bit of arguing they finally submitted to getting me a taxi. jumped in taxi and the driver was an old school class mate so we went the long way home

so yep i'm a bit tender at the mo. nice to be home though, sortof.
