Default I'm off to Coventry!!

Well time to move on to pastures new (job-wise) ...

So providing I can agree "handover terms" with my current client, I shall be off to work in Coventry from next week (for the next 3 months).

I'm currently looking at a few cheap B&B's (with internet access) to give me a home for the next 3 months, but it probably means that my posting on the org will be restricted to evenings only.

It also means that I won't be making it to any weekday Border Patrol meets.

I haven't decided what to do with the bike as yet.

I may take it and become a proper "all weather" commuter ... and might even apply for temporary membership of some of the groups down that way

Or I may garage it, and use the and save the for weekends and the days when I'm "working from home"

I'm looking at your bike photo and seeing 'spare parts' instead

I can ask my brother if he wants a lodger for a few months if you want. His flat is fairly central CV1 or CV2.

Its a fairly small room from memory but he works shifts and spends a fair bit of of time at my parents house and also with his girlfriend in Manchester so wont be around much.

He is storing my 650 in his garage which should be sold fairly soon so there will be an SV sized space there.

Cheers might just take you up on that offer (if it's ok with ya bro?!).

Oh, and if you PM details of the address, I'll make sure there's an SV size space (only kidding of course, don't want ya to think I'm the stereotypical scouser )

You have PM cheers

Pete

Best of luck with the new job Pete, hope it all works out and Coventry not that far... you can still make the border patrol meets. You won`t have any friends there anyways so you may as well stick with the 3 friends you`ve made up this neck of the woods
