My new truck/locomotive ummm... motorcycle?

Decided to swap the Fatboy and Buell for something altogether more practical... Sacrilege I know, but the Fatboy was literally a pain is the arse (my old coccyx injury) and the Buell was less than perfect for the town work...

Anyway, I went for comfort *and* speed

Job done.

A dream realised

Way back, I had a dream that one day I'd fly the family to the seaside for a day out... Well we did it on Saturday! The first pic shows us walking along the cliff path towards Sandown - about 15 mins walk from the airfield. 2nd pic shows the seafront and note the weather had really cheared up - ending up at 26 Degrees C... nice.

The fish and chips were bloody lovely! :-)

The weekend was completed by a Sunday afternoon out on the bike, including a visit to a bike shop with a "hog" (it was Lamb) roast and free test rides!

"Can I weigh those for you madam?"

Couldn't have made it up...

Perfect solution?

This just floats my boat. Will it ever happen or be practical? No chance, at least not where I live...

A new era...

Monday see the start of my new job - working for a charity. I'm really looking forward to this - I had been trying to join the not-for-profit sector for some time...

Here's the link

Habit forming

This flying lark is becoming a habit - three times in one week! (ooher missus). Family outings will never be the same...

Just got to love this...

I must get some!

A new cola...

The most irritating thing?

I'm just wondering how many times this has happened... You have a technical problem so you duly email the supplier. They eventually reply, only to ask you all sorts of stupid questions the answers to which are in your original mail... Stand up Nexthaus and be counted! You have truly excelled at this trick after mailing me to ask questions that you yourselves had provided the information for in the previous email... outstanding.

Finally!

The PPL arrived from thre CAA yesterday!

2008

So here we are then, a new year. Here's to everyone that have helped or just been plain nice to me over the last 12 months. Onwards and upwards.
