I always find being on the back of something going so fast is terrifying but its a lot different being in control of it. Does that make sense?
I hope you start to look forward to getting out on the bike and building yourself up again.
I reckon finishing putting a Gixxer front end on will perk you up. How much is that costing you to swap the front?

mowed the jungle (aka lawn), trimmed the forest (aka hedge), swept the lot up and dealt with massive spiders in the process. Spoke to a mortgage adviser at halifax, went to see the dream house down the road again. Had a chat with the seller, he's going bankrupt. Now I'm making plans with greek and/or others to get down squires cafe to watch the gp tomorrow lunchtime, after a curry night at my mates house in west yorkshire tonight.

All systems go!

Mr Speirs, I bought a job lot for 500 quid. Then found that the discs weren't any good, so had to spend a good bit more on top. With other things, I've probably spent about 1300 quid on the bike in the past 3 months.
Yeah it makes sense.. We did the B1040 and I was terrified, but then the B645 is a bit wider and I felt a bit better.. I got off at Grafham water and I was shaking

to be honest the only time I slow down is when I'm on my bike lol. The one time when I get to switch off from everything in my life apart from what's happening right in front of me (and behind)... Gotta love it

I selpt in till 12, which was annoying because I was meant to pick up a parcel from the post office which shuts at 11.30. I think it is my new yamaha throttle.
Went out for a blast about 1.30pm. Really enjoyed myself. I went exploring the smallest country roads I could find, to avoid the dually. Had to sneak along a cycle lane when I got to a dead end. Then went for some faster roads and was really in the "zone"
Went up my favourite local road - up to Glen Clova then headed round towards brechin. Stopped for a bit to look at the ace view. Then headed for home.

Well...in the early hours I was busting out my moves on a dance floor in a club in Reading. Slept a little bit, found a way to get home and then dossed about all day on the computer doing insurance quotes etc.

Now off to BBQ, where I expect drink will be present!

Spent the day preparing my bike for a trip which will hopefully include brussels, frankfurt, bratislava, budapest and zagreb. Fingers crossed.
