Dropped the scoot in for it's MOT this morning...local mech looked concerned as I rode into the shop in full leathers....turns out the rattling from the scoot is not just old age...it's the main bearings

Anyhoo....hoping to get away with bunging a bit more oil in the petrol tank to get me through the run.

SO...all being well, she'll be MOT'd and insured by the end of the day, with Tax to buy on Saturday.

NOW THEN...I've had a very gratefully received contribution from someone off the org who I HAVE NEVER EVEN MET!

So....what about all those off here that I have met? It's about time you all started digging in and chucking something into the pot.

Then there's the people off here who I have sent stuff to, free of charge who offerered to buy me a pint if they see me....happy to forego said pint if you chuck summat at the just giving pages or pm me for a few raffle tickets.

Then there's the bods online who happily consumed my time on COD Modern Warfare and Black Ops while I showed them how to win games and bag lots of points

Then there's the guys I've shown all my track day skills to, including how to crash on the 1st lap.

There's a few over the Pennines that have benefitted from my tea making skills, chicken pasta bake and whom I've taken the time out to let them work on my bike(s)

SO COME ON GUYS AND GALS OF THE MIGHTY ORG....SHOW THE WORLD WHAT YOU'RE MADE OFF AND GET SPONSORING.

I'm leading the contributions on the Just Giving pages so far and I've got about £70 pledged from peeps in work, as well as sold around £80 raffle tickets. My company will match contributions up to £250, so if I raise £250, I'm guaranteed to be able to give £500 to both causes.

You're all wonderful people...now do something AMAZING!
