What Made Me Smile today ...........................????

A buyer actually turning up and buying something...one project I'll not have to finish!

 

Looked at a quote for when i get my a2 license
Ebike the next day ring me up and say would you like buy this quote
So i explain that i was just looking at quotes for a rough estimate
to which he responds "If you ring our quote service department, they usually knock a bit off"
Cheers

 

well i fitted the 2nd foot rest bracket,had two new tyres fitted,new indicators front and back, cleaned and polished the bike ready for tomorrow as it will be the first time ive managed to get out on it since i brought it

 

What a brilliant day! I rode out to H cafe in Oxford, then on to Henley for an ice-cream with a couple of other girls. Very nice, chilled out ride, not too crazy. Did have a bit of a heart-in-my-mouth moment on one particular set of twisties, (just started into them a bit too hot, I think) but goddam it was great.

Saw loads of red kites, horses, cows, blue skies, and some of the most beautiful countryside. I didn't even feel too hot until the last mile to home - just no air and no real speed.

Still, hope everyone else had a brilliant day too.

 

200 miles round the lanes of kent and an unexpected invite to a roast lamb dinner midway through ....cant be wrong

 

The news that the rocket III demonstrator at Gedges is all mine for tuesday

 

Getting out on the bike for a couple of hours and watching Kev (Taylor) grinning like a fool on the Rocket III...

 

I think he's gonna buy it

 

I know he is when the is available.

 

I just renewed the insurance on our little Hartford 'Morningstar' 125 - I thought a total of £80 pa fully comprehensive for me and my wife was quite good; I was less pleased to discover that I actually paid £80 + £30 for a legal cover addition, some £20 'policy tax' and some other bits and pieces totalling £135. Hmmn... But then a bundle of paperwork arrived through my letter box this morning.

This is where the enjoyment started!
1) I enjoyed the wrestling match with the dog (who clearly thought this bundle was attacking our house and needed to be thoroughly ripped, shredded and torn apart. I won!

2) The contents of the package was still legible!

3) Apparently I am entitled to £30 'cash back' provided the policy remains in force for 90 days after its commencement.

I can't yet see the catch. If you are getting insurance quotes, include Swinton on your calling list.

 

very nice bikes, i looked at one today in lagunas maidstone, black £12k

 

waking up and realising im on a short day then packing bike.off to GPO rally in the morning for a real ale frenzy!!

 

Phone call from DVLA saying they have now received my incorrect licence back from me (I sent it two weeks ago), and will send another attempt at getting it right in two weeks time. "It is OK to continue riding, you just won't have a licence". I've only been trying to get my licence updated since the beginning of June so no change there. I would hate to rush these things.

 

Getting the £400 car service bill and handing straight to my MD!

 

Bike going straight through the MOT with no probs! Woohoo!

 

Nice one! You riding it tomorrow?

 

Got my camera lens back from it's warranty repair, swept the chiminey, re-enacted the chainsaw massacre in the garden, and have lit a fire ready for a cosy evening.

 

Fitted the replacement discs to my bike and FINALLY I think the bloody juddering has gone

Need to test them on the A23 tomorrow
