Finally broke down and ordered the bearings I need for my Gilles rearsets.
They have been sitting in a box for 5 -6 months so might as well fit them up....
and service the swingarm bearings......it's going to be a long day when my shock finally shows up.....

Dear Doctor, after a recent accident I find myself with a further 5 weeks in a cast & maybe two months of physio to look forward to. To cheer myself up I have already purchased a replacement bike & find myself buying expensive trinkets to adorn it with...

Please can you confirm ...am I MAD ??? Or is it just a bad attack of Stormitis ? Or is that the same thing... :confused

I'll be glad when I can bloody do anything mate, I am so bloody bored, may be you can tell... I like to be able to wash the car, cut the grass, clean windows * anything to relive the boredom but I cant...there is only so much coffee, so much TV, so much sitting in front of a computer a man can take...I might even have to visit the bloody library soon...!

I do see a bit of tinkering as a sort of therapy for the rehabilitation of me wrist once the cast is off & I've got over the initial getting it moving thing out of the way...

Tiiiiiiie iiiiime is on my side, yes it is...yes it is...














* window licking does not count...I find it leaves far too many smears & unsightly marks... before you comment Kev... :lol:

Ouch. In fairness I did go in there with the intention of getting a new phone and contract anyway ( goodbye to my hard-earned monies! I hate having a job already :lol: I miss parents paying for everything )...

And I was genuinely stuck between the HTC One and the Samsung S4... I made up my mind halfway through the conversation because I don't need speakers on a phone (so I don't need a phone that's only major USP is "we have speakers on the front")... But it's fun to intimidate people like so, I rarely get an opportunity to do so. I weigh nothing so I don't have an intimidating figure... Besides, who doesn't love a bit of Inheritance/Encapsulation/Polymorphism/Recursion or whatever programming concept you decide to bring up. ( I lie, recursion is a bitch :thumbdown: )
