Nipped out to do a bit of window shopping and put a deposit on an R1 and bought some leathers and a new visor. Got a bit carried away.

I know, they were taking the rip at work saying it'll be fine, that's just something the manufacturers say to make you buy a new one!

Got an Arai Chaser this afternoon... much better fit than the dropped Shoei Raid II, so maybe the drop was a blessing in disguise. A very expensive disguise.

Oh! I can relate to that one! Went out shopping for new gloves and came back with my SV650s!

was last week.. went to visit one of the mates, he was not in.

he lives on a hill and the turning circle at the top of his street is on a bit of a steep incline.. so whilst turning the bike i made a bit of a mistake and had to put my foot down, ooooppppssss me being a short @rse my leg wasn't long enough to touch ground, bike went over to much and i felt it about to go right over and connect with tarmac, so decided to dump the clutch. this resulted in doing a nice wheelie right across the road up onto the pavement and down someone's dropped kerb.

wish someone was videoing it, would have been bloooody funny to see...

Today I stripped down the DRZ and cleaned it! God I'm tired, but I still don't think it's up to Kwak's standards...

Finished my standby period for today and noticed my home phone had a message on it. It took ten minutes of panic before I worked out the message was from my previous standby and I hadn't missed a customer call.

Today, took all my fairings off. That wasn't the stupid thing, my knee and ankle are fully locked up because of it.
