Now have you applied your fake tan so you look like the outdoorsy type of gal?

Thanks Oney. We all do.
It's to cool down a bit for Monday Starty, but i'd be taking precautions anyway. I've had heatstroke and it ain't funny.
I spent a fortune trying to get my bike licence KT. Failed my test twice. The first time I went the wrong way up a duel-carriageway. The examiner was screaming in my radio..."Where the F**k are you going? U-TURN!! U-TUUURRRNNNN!!!"
I'll maybe try again.

Yeah, I've been told that a lot, but it's just so much fun. I loved it.

Hi Pops nice one on the test :H Stick with it I have gotten so many briliant days out on the bikes. Its a 1976 Yamaha XS650 twin. Bit like an old british bike like a triumph or norton.

I'd really love to get out and ride. We've got some amazing roads up here.
I've always fancied getting an old bike and doing it up. I thought about that a few weeks ago. Just getting one and making it shiny and smooth, then going for my test again.

Starty it sure does, what did you have? Pops same re the roads round here, I can see a twinkle in your eye, why not do it. I prob could have bought and fixed up plenty of them with the money I wasted on AL over the years.

It's a long-held ambition Starts. The buggers keep making the test harder...and more expensive, but I hope to get around to it before I die.

Mr Starts has had a number of bikes over the years Bonneville, BSA, A Yam 650 Custom thingy, and the last one was a Yamaha XJR 1250 that he had during his midlife crisis :-)

I've been told that I've been having my mid-life crisis for a while now.
I'm quite enjoying it.
