    You sound like his bloody mother! Why can't he do it? :lol:

    It's still grey but it's drying out so I might go for a little blasty blast and find some corners.
    He was like a little lost puppy last night, trust me it won't last long, but he's cut up about it, and he's better with everything organised and tidy, so if i can get it straight he'll be better. Plus garys over again tonight, so want him in a reasonable mood.

    And you know what i'm like for looking after people

    Apparently he looks 19 but is taking advantage of me as he's that much older and i HAVE to end it. :rolleyes: tbf it could have gone a lot worse given when he called me to tell me he was coming over he was offering to murder him.

    I'm not normally bored enough to be posting on h&r though...
    That's all the incentive I need! :p:

    Haha, wow. New low levels? I hope you're not trying to give actual advice?! :p:

    Went out on the bike yesterday in the pouring rain to go get supplies for my girlfriend 'cos she's ill. I thought it would be terrifying, but good grief the Pilot Road 3's are so grippy in the wet. It was like riding in the dry.

    Remind me to never go to you for advice then! :mmm:

    Why has it been over a week? That's quite a while! When winter arrives here I don't think my bike will ever see outside :lol:

    Most of my friends come to me for advice, as i normally tell them the right thing to do, they just don't want to hear it Plus i am slightly abrupt.

    Its been ages, i've just not wanted to go out, which is really really worrying. I love riding in winter, the crisp morning with no one else out, its lovely.

    Nothing serious? I've just had the 2's delivered to my parents house, now need to go there and take them to wickfords to get them fitted, or get dee to take the bike into work and do them there...

    Out of interest, why did you get the 2's? When I went to look at prices, the 2's were £210/pair while the 3's were £225/pair - fitted - from the place I go in soton. At that little difference I decided I might as well get the 3's. And no, nothing serious, she's just got this cold/flu thing that's going around.

    I didn't pay £210, and given that the last tyres i got lasted 3 months, i'll be changing soon enough if i don't like them

    Firm is nice on a gal baggy just leaves too much to the imagination lol, an hmm yeah think i'd be recovering if I saw all in one piece, though don't think I would be riding if that happened wouldn't be able to concentrate.

    Oh is that what it's called a manual, thought it was called a coffee stand

    Maybe you have seen some gals around but they were looking a bit butch hmm trying to decieve us.
    (before we de-rail the other thread beyond hope.)

    Yeah... someone recently had to explain that it wasn't a door stop to me

    Landy didn't crash, i did keep trying to run away from him but he kept over taking cars to catch up. He also survived my mother and i doing a quick swap of leather for textiles on top of a mountain too!

    You can normally tell by looking at the visor though. unless lots of men now wear make up?

    Good idea quite miss the c90 in the other thread though

    Dunna worry about the manual it has so many uses though I havn't tried that one :eek: gotta try it soon.

    Landy must have the best concentration ever, or he is a robot. Either way he deserves a medal, the swap must of been painfull but you gotta do what you gotta do.

    Hmm dunno guess you would have to ask them, though around my end that would be quite normal on some nights lol.

    Also works as a tank prop for my sv (landy has two of them and i have none :cry:

    You'll have to ask him that as i don't know

    This is true, and then you've got lasses like me that don't wear make up

    Ahh sounds like a great idea don't really use anything near my tank on my cb

    I'll ask him if I see him once he has fully recovered, most probably in shock still.

    Don't see why anyone wears make up anyway a lot of people look a lot more beautiful without it

    Normally i use a brick or a piece of wood (you know, whatever is nearest when you need it sort of thing ..)

    I can see with some people, but generally its a confidence thing i think, others hide behind their makeup, i hide behind my helmet

    I may not use the proper equipment, but at least i have a snap on tool kit you'd be surprised how long i can get away with wearing it And with my exhaust on my bike it helps that no one can identify me. I went to meet chilledice and Landy before going to wales, they knew it was me before i was in sight i think

    It's not 102db, but its loud. I'm one of the few people with twin pipes on an sv so its easy to tell if i'm somewhere just by the bike going past. Although when i give up on hte sv there is a queue of people wanting the pipes (its about £900 of pipes and cans apparently- i just got them because they are pretty )
