Smile of the day - What is yours?

[Sir Trev]

Finally had chance to get out for a run on Bullseye, first since the 600 mile service. It was all going well until I remembered I'd left the power setting in B. So I pulled over and switched if over to A.

Yee Ha! An already fun bike has turned into a much faster fun bike. I've seen the power curve comparison graphs in the launch videos and it is a subtle difference in power but the throttle response is way quicker and it seems to have bumped up the torque in the midrange. Leaving it in B was probably right for the initial running in but barring poor weather its staying in A from now on.

A very large, bright red hot air balloon with Virgin Experiences written on the sides and on the gondola just floated over Trev Towers. And when I say over... it nearly brushed the chimney pot! Clearly heading for the park at the end of my road, one of the many mature trees dotted about the place must have been in its path, as it headed back up again before disappearing over the next ridge of hills.

Hope they landed safely somewhere.

From underneath, with it being so low, it looked enormous!

Smile of the day for me is my bike is pretty much ready for an MOT. Tank rusted inside taking pump and big filter housing with it. Got a good deal on genuine parts from ebay and a kind member peterco had a tank kicking about. It was a k3 so had to modify slightly. New battery and niggly indicator but its ready. Bike runs sweet again.

Hope you can out and about on it a bit Bibster before the weather gets even worse.

Yup we have had a flurry if snow in rossshire already. Temps have dropped a wye bit in Kirkcaldy today e.g. its cold. Looks like heating will be going on sooner than expected this year

[Sir Trev]

We've been in the Suffolk/Essex borders for a midweek break, staying at charming old inn, and the temperatures dropped way down on Wednesday. As we set out for home at 9am today we actually saw single figures (well, 9) on the outside air temp in the car. And the house felt pretty chilly when we got back too. Well, cold for us soft southerners anyway...

Mmm! Grilled cucumbers with cheese (vegan in my case) and paprika. Yum!

Potential "Leader of the Free World" (again).

Question that was asked of Trump (in campaign stop in Michigan). Bear in mind when reading this that the polls in the (7) swing states are pretty much balanced so many people still support this senile buffoon. A few hundred thousand people will pick the next President (out of 160+ million voters)

Here's the question:

"What actions will you take to ensure that our jobs stay in America?"

His answer:

“So pretty much as we’ve been saying …and what I want to do is I want to be able to, look, your business …years ago in this area, I was honoured as the ‘Man of the Year’, was maybe twenty years ago, and the fake news heard about it, they said, “It never happened, it never happened”.
And I didn’t know who it was, it was a group that honoured me as “Man of the Year.” The fakers back there, see the fake news? But they said they said “Ooooh” and they looked and they said it never happened, but I said “I swear to you it happened. It did happen.” I was Man of the Year.
And I came, I made a speech and said, “Why do you allow them to take your car business away? Why do you allow it to happen? They’re taking your business away.” And I didn’t know too much about …all I know is they were taking your car industry away from you. They said it never happened. And lo and behold, somebody said “I remember the event” and then we found out we had everything. We got the awards, we, and everything. It DID happen.”


Fact check: there never was a Michigan "Man of the Year" btw

I've got quite a few other words about him if you need them
