Already had a couple of barbeques teas and a couple of evening rollings about under the plastic car! If I could find the documents for my motorybike,
I'd be out on that!!

I currently have the old engine on the floor, and the new one still on an engine stand...... grrrr. I can guarantee that by the time I'm ready
to go it will be cold and miserable!
Just got out for 30 miles on the road bike though, which was pretty nice

Oh I am well in the swing of summer.
I went to my first BBQ last weekend and I brought my oil today for the car. Oil change on the Striker always signifys the end of winter and start of
summer driving.
Ill be out in the kit this weekend hopefully!!!

Yep did 200 miles on the bike yesterday.
Coast road up to Stonehaven - slug road to Banchory - A93 to Braemar then over Glenshee to Perth and then home.
Roads were nearly empty and very clean, perfect 
Day wasn't without disaster though, less than 1/2 mile from home hit a pheasant, results weren't pleasant for bike fairing or pheasant 
(just to be clear the miserable smiley is for the £700 of damge not the pheasant - I will now be actively eliminating all these fowl birds and expect
others to do their part too)
Cheers

Apparently your going to get some nice weather up there Davie in the next couple of weeks. Very unusual!!
Shame about the fairing, you know it could of been worse though.

I had to take the dog down to the river tonight for a swim rather than his usual run about... in March!

I was planning too when I got back from work, had forgotten about a misfire though so took the opportunity of the weather and newly lengthened
evenings to sort it, also spotted that I had a sheered one of the alternator bolts so got that sorted.
Reinforcing the crank position sensor has improved the misfire, need a longer bolt and larger washer and hopefully it will be cured

Funny how things change with the passage of (not much) time. Last night I was thanking god for small mercy's that it was only a bit of panel
damage and that I hadn't dumped the bike completely. Today I had forgotten all about what could have have happened and it was all about the
financial damage.
Thanks for the reality check - feeling much luckier again
Cheers
