that's a bummer Taz, especially as there's no getting away from them, get everyone else on the farm to feign some kind of injury for a couple of weeks and make the bugger really work!
finished fixing up the bike with the help of a great local mechanic, I asked him to fit new front wheel bearings and sort a starting problem, went to pick it up today and asked him how much I owed him, he said all he'd done was clear the carb and check the valve clearances said I owed him nothing - I then reminded him about the wheel bearings (which he would have needed to buy in) and "Oh right, I forgot about that, £47".
I have no idea how he stays in business but I'm glad he does - Day 47 tomorrow which sees me back up to the same number as just before the Big Slip but feel a million miles away from that place right now
weather should be good tomorrow so guess what I'm doing!
