Good news is the futura past the MOT today.
The bike riding there didn't feel right and I thought I had made a mistake buying one.
Checked the tyre pressure's before setting off back. 32 in the rear and 27 in the front
Anyway inflated them to 36/42 and the bike rode brilliant. Definitely made the right choice.
Anyway the bar is open
Tolerance will be our undoing.

Good news. I'll have pint of "old peculiar" just because the name seems appropriate.
Don't put off 'till tomorrow what you can enjoy today

Glad you like it Jay, will send you some backy rather than buy you a pint.
Have you gone for Tartan slippers with zips up the front or do you prefer sheepskin linings and velco fastenings.
Either way ENJOY the bike.

I guess, given what we're celebrating, the choice is either Horlicks, Cocoa or Ovaltine ......
Well done

Having done a 24 hour shift - very large scotch
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Clearly need practice at this civvi stuff - when someone else is buying you can have a pint of something expensive!
