Blue Sky and Sunshine

#1 Post by crosstowntraffic » Wed Mar 14, 2007 1:10 pm

Not good when i'm stuck inside the office looking at it out of the window. Might have to arrange a "Meeting" some where out of London for tommorow afternoon. Anyone got any good excuses sorry reasons that I could use :smt004 Guess I could always book a day off or wait for the weekend.

Blue sky and sunshine are vastly over-rated.
I got sunburnt on Monday. :smt012

No, just Norfolk. Halvergate Marshes to be more precise, and while the Met Office reckon it topped out at 19C I know differently. :smt002

'coz I rode in to work today :smt003

OK so not the most inspiring of rides, from one part of London to another, but I've not been on the bike for a while and I'd forgotten how much fun there is to be had with the loud handle.

Poxy GSXR stand goes down a bit too early, so I'll need to make some adjustment. HID headlight works a treat for getting cages out of the way.

I find a blip with the loud handle and the race can does that quite well :smt002

Glad to hear that you are using the bike for work :smt003 I would but I work from home. I have to pop out for some stamps in a bit and you can be sure that I will use the Trumpet rather than the cage :smt003
