Well it seems like I'm back on the blogger....

Whats been going on...Loads, new job, new bike, new toys, new projects... Flat out really. But really enjoyable, the latest bike is a Z750, and yes, I love it, been playing, changing and getting it how I want, and its pretty good...

As I bought it, to as it stands at the moment... 

will update again soon. 

Be lucky!

Ouch...

The Buell is gone....

yep, no more, lost to a fire, gutted, but thats it, time to move on, and see what the next chapter brings....

So, do you stay in a tent when marshalling...?

Well, I did, but soon got fed up with tents, and air mattresses, A camper was needed, and a camper is what I have...

It started out as just a Transit Connect Tourneo, but after a few long evenings, and weekends it was soon converted into this..

The basic lay out sorted, time to start fixing wood and getting the project going.

              All fixed in ready for covering.              

Power sockets fitted.

Carpet going on well.

 3" High Density foam covered in vinyl, some floor tiles, lights and ready.

 To lay out for a well earned sleep in the camper...

It is one its second full season now, and has had an awning added, but apart from that stayed as is, and does a really good job.

So if you see a white connect covered in race stickers doing about 60mph heading towards a track, that could well be me...

Out and about.

Its been rather busy...

I had new bearings fitted to the wheels, along with new tyres, and as the MOT was due, had a nice little ride down to a friends shop for the test.

Not the best of rides, as it was the hottest weekend of the year so far, and everyone wanted to be down that part of the country, but I made my way down, enjoying the fact I was back out on the bike...

No hassle with the MOT, and i soon found myself riding around that lovely town of Swanage, enjoying the views, and the sunshine.

I was soon on my way home, and as the roads had cleared slightly I was able to relax and enjoy the ride back, which was a much nicer way to ride.

The bike performed faultlessly and soon had me home safe and sound.

With Easter's long weekend, I took a chance to get out on Sunday, and put a few more miles on the tyres, a really pleasant ride around the local bike roads, not fast, but spirited, and was soon enjoying the twists and turns, and the bark of the engine and of course the pop and bang from the exhaust on the over run...

So, I've been out, had some fun, and above all enjoyed the Buell once again. 

I'll be changing the oil soon, and looking at a new tail tidy which I'll be fabricating in the workshop, but other than that, looking forward to a ride out in some dry weather again soon.

All the best guys. 

Happy travels.

Another few miles..

Bank holiday weekends are not really my favourite, think it goes back to the fishing days, too many people, all rushing about, and not getting anywhere fast..

But, the weather was great, the Buell was sat all ready to go, so off I went.

I'd had planned to visit my mates shop, but after spending half an hour on the motorway, filtering between the stationary traffic, I thought, Bugger this, and headed off at the next junction for some hopefully less packed roads, and a cold drink.

I was soon feeling the wind down my back, and happily winding my way across some nice roads, heading into the back of Alton, and a welcomed cold drink at the Alton Station Café.

There can be a fair few bikers to chat too, but I found it very quiet, so, after a pit stop, I was back heading home ward, down some nice roads, enjoying the twists and turns, pops and bangs from the exhaust on the over run, and just being out and riding.

A little blast around the ring roads, and back home, just as a passing shower came into play.

So, a few more miles, some old roads visited, and a big grin to end the ride with.

Perfect! 

A lovely ride out.

Saturday morning, and for once nothing planned, so, out came the push bike, managed a few miles on that without falling off, so, the Buell had to come out too...

A quick fill up, and we was off, out on the back roads enjoying the twists and turns, passing through little villages that I'd not been through in a few years, and out off the beaten paths for a couple of hours of perfect riding pleasure.

The Buell performed faultlessly, more than happy to be in the countryside roads, a real joy to flick left and right, a quick squirt of power and away down to the next set of bends and out looking for some more...

Well happy with my little outing, next up, a ride out to a show next weekend! 

Ride safe guys...

Evening...

Its been a while, and I must apologise,for the lack of updats, but it has been a little busy..

BSB marshalling has been great, with some fantastic weekends in the bright Orange.

Plus out with the drag car as well..

Another change in the job front, something completely different, and so far, its bloody brilliant.. roads sweeper 7.5t driver, and some general ground maintenance work as and when needed, so really is completely different! 

And of course, another year older.. 

The LED indicators fitted and work perfectly,and all wired in with no drama's, then, just by chance, I found a Buell Touring seat, and just could not resist, it has made a real difference, make's the ride much better, just lifting by an inch, takes a huge amount of the wrists and looks good on the bike too...

Now, looking forward to enjoying some of this late summer weather! 

Ride safe guys.

All the best...
