GT6MK3 Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 Day 121 Left the DZ early and drove for 2.5 hours so Dad and I could watch a game of football together. Winners are grinners, leaving as the kids rush the ground below us post match. Always good to spend some time with him, even better when our team salutes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 But do, when that green light goes on! I was so lucky to enjoy my job, that I went on for another two years. Two years in which I could have been enjoying my retirement even more! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT6MK3 Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 Day 125 Note to self, if you head out for a 20km ride on a crisp 7°C autumn morning, shoes and socks are wiser than sandals, and might help stop your feet and toes turning into ice blocks.

JohnD Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Dumbells? Or weights for some sort of exercise machine? Kafka said that the worst words in the world were, "I am a Government Inspector, and I am here to help you." I disagree. I run as fast as I am able from the words "Exercise machine"!

GT6MK3 Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 Day 127 It seems my very expensive engine cases come with spacers for the swing arm bushes that are both 4.5 mm undersize, which means the motor (and therefore rear wheel) can slide almost a cm left and right, Un-ideal! Out it comes again, off to the drawing board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Un-ideal indeed. I have no doubt you will overcome! Was it doing this on your 1000kms? Or am I confused about which machine you are working on….?

GT6MK3 Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 Same bike, but this is the new engine I built last year and haven't had time to install till now. Once I got home from the Mille, I bit the bullet and ripped out the old donk to make sure I stopped dithering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you worked for a law firm (among others)? Contract would be a legal requirement here….. Opportunity to renegotiate the rate maybe….. reckon you are a flight-critical component of their organisation! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
