all day at work i had fancied going out for a spin on the bike tonight to see if adjusting the little screw at the bottom of the shock made any difference.

the bit that needs the c spanner is still set for 30 stone as i cant move it but the screw was right round to max hard.

so at 7.45 i got the car out of the drive got my skid lid out of the cupboard, put my leather trousers on and went to my other bike jacket which is where i keep the keys to the magnificent blue beauty.

you know the next bit .....

45 minutes of frantic searching, i was in the garage last night with the bike but i definitely did not start it? did i have the keys with me last night ? when did i have them last ? could i blame my missus? where the fcuk are they?
i


still not got them and now seriously pi55ed off :evil: :evil:

its now too late to be bothered to go out and still not got the keys anyway . so i sat on the sofa and kept sighing and looking sa

turned the house, garage and my car upside down for about 30 minutes and i am pleased to say that whilst i was in the garage with a lead light she called down from upstairs to say she had got them :clap: :clap: :clap:

now if i was mac i would not tell you where they were..









for a long time .....









but im not...











they were in my dressing gown pocket ???????? and i dont know why??

anyone else ever lost their keys just when they wanted to go out?

i am was a bugger with keys, so i got a small key safe thingy, i put all my keys in there every night, i don't lock it, but just always know where they are, i don't put keys down anywhere but in that box. With keys iam using when out etc i always use a neck band and hang them on that.

i once lost a bike key with my mates and mine chained together at silverstone, my wife had to drive up with a spare key, she wasn't impressed and i got my act together after that. Lack of sex for a fortnight is a great reminder how stupid you can be!!!

Now I'm proper annoyed as it looks like it was supposed to have been delivered yesterday. Somebody was in all day and we had no deliveries. I've got the eBayer chasing them up now. I hope they don't have to resend it as knowing my luck by the time it gets here the poxy weather will have changed and I wont get it done. Arghhhhh

Those forks look very clean Lloyd.

Paint turned up an hour ago. Too late to paint now so tomorrow it is now. Weather forecast is good so should be OK.

Found out that the car park on the street where I work doesn't actually want any customers...

I bought a ticket so I was allowed to park there and parked in an out of the way space so that I wasn't stopping anyone with cars using a space (because I don't need a whole space anyway!). Didn't want to leave my ticket on the bike so I took a picture of my bike and the valid ticket, and put a note in my Strapnav with my number in case of a ticket warden or something...

Got back 9 hours later and found a PCN attached to my bike (and the paper with my contact details still there..). Slightly pissed off, I rode home and appealed straight away.. That was over 2 weeks ago.

Got a letter back from them today (in a prostate cancer letter? Seriously, how professional is that?).. My appeal was rejected! What utter flowers. So did our bike come with a forcefield function or something that I missed in the owners manual? I can't quite see how I'm meant to park there, they obviously don't want my custom and think it fit to charge me 60 wombles quid to take up what wasn't even a parking space!!!
