Not been on much at all lately due to a death in the family, my girlfriends mum, in September. Not gonna get all morbid tho.
Anyway, things gettin back to normal now loadsa miles in on the bike. Startin to think of what to get next, I might trade the old Kwak in next may, then again I'm tempted to get it painted... Read More
Just got back online yesterday after big problems with my ISP....Orange fuckin suck as far as I'm concerned, gettin shot of them as soon as I can, wankers. Over a week with no internet connection and they wouldn't let me cancel and go elsewhere.
Never mind back now (touches wood )
One more week of hell in the sweatshop and I'm off for a fortnight,... Read More
How awesome is this weather??
Had an awesome blast on the bikes tonight and my buddy Dick gave me a shot of his recently restored and modded '84 1100 Katana. Wow what a machine, I've always had a soft spot for 80's Japanese heavy metal, especially Suzis and Kwaks and the Katana has always been a favourite of mine. This was my first ever time... Read More
Got a little more work done on my sleeve this weekend. Some flowers were added and coloured and some maple leaf outlines added too in some blank areas. Love the flowers as they really brighten up the dark tones of the black and purples. The leaves are gonna be autumny colours like golden rusty brown sorta thing which should also add more contrast.... Read More
Thanks for the compliments! I didn't do a thing to that H1 aside from washing it, I bought it as is. The ohlins are definately pricey buggers, that's for sure. It seemed as though my stock rears had lost their dampening altogether. Some owners have found shops that will re-charge the nitrogen for a small fee, it seems to leak out somewhere after 10,000 miles for most folks. You do have a 1200 right? -Because the 1100's actually have schrader(sp?) valves just like tires and can be recharged with air via a regular air compressor. Probably not as good as nitrogen for one reason or another, but folks do report an improvement. I haven't heard anyone say that a shop checked the nitrogen charge and found it intact. How's the riding weather? That arm is going to be awesome! I really should stop buying bike parts and get some ink. It's been 15 years...
Wow, what a night. The downhill mountain-bike World Championship is here again for the weekend and 25,000 people descend on our little town for it every year. The outdoor street party held for them in the town centre last night was excellent with cool live music and everyone dancing in the street and having a great time. Excellent atmosphere and even the cops were in... Read More
Thinkin I should update.
Spent most of Easter weekend indoors watching movies and generally being a lazy twat. "The Jacket" stands out, you should see it if you aint already, pretty cool.
Exhaust fell off my shit heap "car" and I had to spend the first money on a new part since I bought it last October, not bad going for a 100 banger heheh.... Read More
Well. What a fuckup Friday turned into!! After looking forward to the Anthrax gig for weeks, it sucked on many levels. First off one of may mates wasn't allowed into the venue because the security guy said he was too drunk..... he was, but not THAT bad. Then after Anthrax came on we went crowd surfing.. as you do, I got dragged to the front... Read More
Now that sounds like a good time,wankers aside.
I'm supposed to go see Rob"Fuckin"Zombie tonight if I don't get to pissed.I really want to go but it's 500km away and I'm already 9 Guinness in
Fuck the trees,bikes need petrol! HAHA I have my new Tshirt.Thanks mate.
Snow is melting fast so if my road dries I will be riding soon,after I sobber up tommorrow.
I'm taking the 'softly softly' approach to revenge.. I've passed on a few of her choicest bitchy comments to the people she was bitching about, and a mate is going to set up premium texts going to her mobile..
I still may do the fp thingy, but i'll see how much fun I can have this way first
Out partying all night last night. Got absolutely hammered on JD. Great time, hangover not too bad either, woohoo. I aint figured out yet how to minimalise hangovers, are they totally random in severity? I've sometimes been much less drunk than I was last night, yet the hangovers have been worse, I don't get it.
Had one of my girlfriends friends flirting do deal with... Read More
havent been anywhere near my bike since the other night. I freaked myself out a bit so I figure as long as my head isnt straight i'll let it sit there.. The axe incident is from just before xmas.. psycho neighbour had been harrassing me for a year and a half, culminating in him giving me a bit of a kicking and then swinging an axe at my head. He also swung it at the guy who pulled him off me. All good fun. Ho hum.
Dont worry. No wrapping round trees for me. Gonna be good
