Default Re: The Dog ate my homework.

although not feeling exactly "chipper" myself, I'm out with someone on a test ride at 5pm, so will be a little bit earlier (probably about 6.30 or so).

I miss your tests you have done on bikes.

But if you can blag one on the new tiger sport

it's the new Hornet this time, because I haven't as yet tried one and don't like to give an opinion without a bit of homework.

Oh I've ridden the 1050 tiger sport, brother was looking at one before he got his 800, nice bike, they done a really good job on the suspension, taut but comfy.

Except for the two of us sat 3 foot away since 6.15. Didn't you spot the Tiger?

must admit I didn't see you there for sometime, but then I tend to limit my walking about these days and leave the walking to those with two working legs.

I'm on my way to Goodwood for a wedding reception so won't be joining you tonight. Or next week as I'll be working. Or the week after as I'll be out Trick or Treating.

unfortunately I didn't make it to Soho, a single twist of the knee; left me in agony and had to get a lift back home, friend dropped off the bike this morning.

Of course there was no way I could possibly sleep so spent some time sat on the floor with an old alarm system/ wires/soldering iron and my new spotlights, built a custom loom and tested it all out, now have a remote controlled lighting system for the bike, so not a complete waste.
