I wimped out today. 2 degrees C at 6am when I left the house, so I resorted to the car with the heated steering wheel and then on the way home ran into the lovely side wind gusts on Thelwall Viaduct and didn't feel quite so bad about it after all :)
Came within a hair’s breadth of punting a cone on the swerve during my Mod 1. Size 11 boots and a slightly late push down on the bars, but managed it, which was a massive relief cos Mod 1 was my bete noire - 5 attempts due to the slalom becoming a mental block.
Just waiting for an opportunity to give OC my money for this one. The Bolton lot aren't getting it, don't care how much quicker their pre-order page is.
Cleaned, polished and waxed the Hayabusa after a run out yesterday. Took advantage of dry roads and low wind speeds to get out on the country roads, plus scored some brownie points swinging by the other half’s to drop off a couple of things she’d left behind chez moi during the week :D
Worth remembering that Road Traffic Act 1988 powers can only be exercised by “constables in uniform”. Even if you see something while off duty that’s purely traffic related, you can’t do anything beyond have a quiet word.
I’m using the GR75 as a stop-gap until the 32” OLEDs arrive, whereupon it will be demoted to secondary display. No dead pixels, good quality panel, well worth the £230 I paid for it in September.
Here’s the situation:
About 6 weeks ago I built a new system, found the onboard Realtek sound more than a little anaemic so I salvaged the 10 year old Sound Blaster Z from my old PC and parked it the bottom PCI slot of a Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite AX underneath the Sapphire 7900XTX (Vapor X)...
Fortnine definitely, usernamekate has an enthusiasm I find engaging and it helps the other half to see a short(ish) woman prove you can ride the taller bikes.
LambChop has his moments too.
Yep, had mine end the walking workout I was on and start a running workout. Usually I have my sleeves rolled up at my elbows, but it was mid-winter and I'd switched to something heavier cos it was bloody freezing and I didn't want a fatal case of goosebumps. That's a thing, right?
