The other half is off Christmas shopping all day Sunday ,she informed me tonight whilst picking up the kitchen splash back in B &Q . "You can get the kitchen finished Sunday while I'm shopping " she said .I DONT THINK SO I replied . It's a well known fact women love to shop ,so it's not a job it's a pleasure I informed her ,in fact it's there favourite thing to do it would seem ,judging by the bank statement that drops on the mat once a month .I don't enjoy fitting kitchens or doing DIY full stop .So in the interest of FairPlay I'm off to do my favourite thing .Heated grips fitted ,thermals washed and I'm off all day Sunday ,or untill my nads fall off .Off into Derbyshire ,then afternoon tea .Alright then fish and chips at Matlock .All I want is a little bit of sunshine ,fingers crossed .Anyone else off out this weekend?

YB decided to go for a spin on early Saturday morning. Got a txt from him to say the people in Bruges are friendly and hopes to get to Arnhem, but is wondering if that might be a bridge too far!
Stayed in Eindhoven Saturday, Brussels Sunday and home on Monday. 700+ miles in a ZX10R. In November. Rather him than me!!

I like your attitude Bigbob. If everybody liked DIY then I would be out of a job. Go out & do what you want to do and pay someone to do what you don't. Kind of makes the world go around.

Hi Phoenix ,I agree 100 %, I worked as a builder 30 years untill 09 when I fell of a ladder .Broke my back and neck and shattered my right leg .But in truth I miss the hands on work .i was kitchen fitting at the time for B&Q. The ladder was on the transit vans back door ,to get up to the roof rack .just bad luck . I'm office based now ,I work for my other half .So at work she's the boss ,but not at home .The job I do now would be most men's dream job ,but I miss the banter and the lads .I stayed out all day Sunday ,did about two hundred miles .The new heated grips are the business .Finished the kitchen today ,so all good . By the end of the week she'll start on about the bathroom .I'll do it ,but not on a Sunday ,Sundays bike day . Ps some pics of my Rex ,

Yes that's right ,off a gsxr .sounds awesome .I liked the look of the sanctuary zrx and was going for the same sort of look.Its caused a few problems with jetting ,low down .At the moment I've started the winter tear down , just to tidy a few bits and overhaul the brakes ,new seal lines and pads and a frame repaint .At the minute I'm toying with the idea of a repaint ,I really like the white ones and the dilemma of to polish or paint ? .Ive done the cams and altered the gearing ,so I'm Quicker off the mark, but I keep hitting the rev limiter ,so I'm gonna sort the ecu and the carbs over the winter ,or just buy some fcrs and hide the receipt from the other half lol .Ive spent a small fortune so far ,but I don't drink or smoke .Ive just sold my blade and my cb1100r so she can't moan .i love my bikes and my cars and to be honest I always seem to do well when it comes time to sell .
