While I was filling up my bike a really noisy Honda Jazz drove past. On the back the owner had stuck a "Type R" badge from a Civic.

I had to smile because I couldn't think of a less likely car to be given the "Type R" treatment. The Jazz is taking over from the Nissan Micra as the pensioner's preferred vehicle.

I think the kids are buying up all the Micras and putting aftermarket exhaust on them around here.

Just finished for the day on the veg plot and came down to sit on the back yard with a mug of tea. Spent a sublimely peaceful 15 minutes listening to the birds and watching a big beautiful bumble bee working it's way round the honesty and cowslips in these tubs.

Fixed the lawn scarifier with a new bearing for a fiver instead of replacing the whole thing for well over £300. We have a Unipart Service Centre on site but they don't carry any parts at all as all their suppliers deliver within 30 minutes - worth a try though. Their bearing supplier however can walk round with their order in five mites as that's how long it took me to walk down to the edge of our site to Oxford Bearings. All back together now and spinning freely. Nice.

My smile was yesterday, but has kept on my face since then. Finally tidied the garage to the point the bike was accessible. She's been on an Optimate so thought I'd give here a try. BRUMM! First time, barely any starter churning!

Not bad for having been stood for 3 years.

Just about to order a new set of fork seals.

Three years! I guess you've been busy elsewhere.

Unlike mine, which is sulking and is an SV325. Started ok on one cylinder, and picks up on 2 at higher revs, but definitely not running on 2 all the time. Its the front as the exhaust is not getting hot as it should be.
