Two more eyeballs for y'all....

Yellow curvey on Albion Way, heading towards Salford Crescent on my way to work at about 8.45am.


Blue pointy Just short of the A50 at High Legh at about 1.30pm.


Blue curvy outside what used to be Adams garage in Tyldesley about 3.15pm today and yesterday.

I managed to get off work a bit early, another t**t convicted of drink drive at court and banned for a year so went for a blast into Cheshire. Stopped off at the Ducati shop and looked at a couple of 1098's. Very nice, shiny, no doubt very quick, but at £13,500 I just can't quite manage one.
Having said that, like the Triumph 675, the front end in real life is very low and looks far too narrow. The photos in the mags seem to make them look wider somehow.
All in all, not a bad day.

You lucky bloke, got into work only to find it was weapon cleaning day...
So we had a lesson on how to Clean your SA80 A2 , or this is an Egg now suck it.
DEEP JOY I rejoiced, as if I haven't got anything better to do.... NOT ,like inspecting another 3 Landrovers that were getting rid off to another unit,
My boss didn't get me off weapon cleaning ( as he was nursing a hangover... )
So cleaned My weapon.. ... and then saw the bosses rifle just sitting on the floor being ignored by the other peeps... I thought... so I picked it up and put it back in the cleaned weapons pile..

Oh yea, just found out that the CO (big boss of Bosses) is coming up from Cambridge on Monday to do an inspection.

The closest I will ever get to riding one of those was a quick sit on a brand new one at J&S in Northwich. It feels really comfy and gives no impression of it's amazing speed! That was maybe because it was in a showroom and the angry salesrep was bearing down fast to remind me that "Please do not sit on the bikes" actually means something. You gotta give them something to do!
