Bank Holiday Monday

Lunch was done, tidy up was done, what left to do.... sit in the garden with Jetset enjoying some brillaint reading material c/o GKM via the guys at Vintique Cycles , beer and smokes... a quality afternoon.

Re-address the balance

What a couple of months they have been.  Work has been so busy its unreal! no time for fun at home or bike research which has put me in a shit mood, up until now.

Got to get the balance re-addressed (again!) and as of two weeks ago it has been so roll on the next bank holiday, and roll on the summer.  Hopefully going to pick up the gt550 tomorrow for a couple of months summer fun... this needs to jkeep me occupied while the Sportster fund builds up.

So, it aint gonna be no bobber or cafe racer but it might blast away a few cobwebs and im going for a three day turnaround from shit-to-hit.  So.... collect tomorrow, basic strip and clean friday followed by some fender cutting, Saturday sees some rattle-can 'n vinyl action to the tank & fenders (cream and orange) and away we go..... WOOHOO I cant wait.  the thought of a beat up old cruiser, sun, Jetset on the back and some shopping on her lap really does remove the miserableness once and for all, Get the fuck in.

Frame on Ebay

After lots of personal debate and heartache, advice from a top bloke called Benny & many more, tooing & frowing, bouts of depression, sleepness nights and long gazing looks... the fucking things got to go be going.

goodbye frame, its been emotional, bring on the sportster.

Wombles, Horses & Sportsters

What a week so far, gone from home to Park Royal to Islington to Stoke Newington and now Wimbledon Been cursed by the common dwelling beelzebubs that are the wombles by meeting my sis for a sandwich at lunch and opting for the roll covered in olives.  Those bloody wombles cursed me and I have been tasting the vile olives with their annoying theme tune in my head ever since I left Tower Bridge & saw the sign for Wimbledon, bastards.!

The bike is back in one piece as a garden ornament and even the promise of full on hospitality at Cheltenham this Friday cant take my mind away from it...... AARRGGGGHHHHHHHH I want two fucking wheels for the summer and im pissed of with myself for jumping the gun.

Maybe a few small £10 punts at the races will somehow magic me the finds for the sportster.  My OCD brain is going to explode.

Mug of the Week

To save me going insane over thinking about how this bike is going to work out I will now add a Mug of the Week.

Apologies for the poor photo but the lucky winner of this weeks prestigous 'Mug shot' title goes to the idiot at the hotel i'm in tonight, Holiday Inn Gatwick, who has prised off his lovely jag badge and defaced his (or propably her judging by the playboy badge) very expensive motor with this...
Well done...... your a mug mate.

The Rules: No 1

Rule No 1 - cheap shit parts and components have one place... it is not here.
Lesson learnt.

Can you go to Jersey

the answer was of course 'Yes boss' so now on my way to Jersey later this week.  Bike bits and evening reading will have to wait until Friday.
