Back from a long weekend on the Isle of Lewis – you can see the gallery here or just watch the slideshow below We stayed at the fantastic Braighe House B+B 3 miles out of Stornoway. The service was fantastic along with the accomodation – lots of nice wee touches…
New PC
With some of the proceeds of selling the (motor)bike I bought a new PC! First one in a wee while so its been quite a leap in performance. Lorraine inherits the water cooled beastie for email and business stuff! My new one was from Cyberpower – for those that want…
Its official
For the first time since I was 17 I am bikeless through choice! (broken bones and bent bikes were the other reasons) Not sure whether to be elated at selling it for a good price or sad to be bikeless. Will see how I feel in the next weeks. Going…
End of an Era
Well it looks like I’ve sold the Fazer and so ends (for now) my motorcycling that I’ve been doing for the last 20 years. Genuine reason for sale (as they say in the adverts) in that I’ve done less than one thousand mile a year for the last couple of…
New Motorcycle
Haha, got your attention. Not quite as fast as my current real one, but a lot more easy to build (just a spanner and an Allen Key required). Many thanks to Secret Santa in the office. What a great gift, built it in my lunch hour of course…
Holiday weekend busyness (or should that be business?)
It was an Edinburgh (Scotland?) holiday yesterday so as if on cue – it rained quite a lot 🙁 Anyway a trip to Ikea on Saturday morning meant I had things to build so good excuse to stay in and do that. We’ve reorganised and redecorated what was the therapy…
Roadworks
Seems like there are lot of roadworks about just now – no mention of them on the Clarence website but I came across 5 in a slightly circuitous route home the other day. View Larger Map
Motorcycle ponderings – part 3
Finally got around to MOTing the motorbike on Saturday lunchtime. Forgot how fast it was – seems like ages since I’ve been on it – well it was February. Still pondering keeping it – it was great to be out on it again and it is useful to have the…
Motorcycle ponderings part 2
Hmmmm, still pondering. Started it up on Sunday afternoon and ran it to keep it from rotting away completely… Its now positioned slightly differently in the garage to force me into going past it every day – rather than it being tucked away in a corner. So still thinking about…
Motorcycle Ponderings
Hmmmm, At the age of 17 I was persuaded by Dad to get a motorbike so I could get in and out of University easily (probably so I didn’t keep asking to borrow the car…) After 20 years of motorcycling with only the occasional non-biking period – the longest one…
