Man Masters Machine

You guys are spoilt, alliteration and everything. Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that the bike was stop-stop, but is now go-go, spitting noise again. A good spin is warranted but not now, I've had to fish small sockets out from the relay box twice. That's not easy. Especially when you drop the socket after just finishing tightening the part you loosened to get the first socket out. But much vexation later, she purrs again! I leave you to celebrate.

And the bike comes to Monasterevin.

I brought the Beemer to Monasterevin this afternoon. Well, it was about time, and it was a lovely afternoon, so I went and got it. Things you forget in 6 months:

1) That there's an alarm on your motorbike;
2) It rearms itself automatically;
3) That's why it won't start the second time;
4) There's a disc lock on the front wheel;
5) There's a disc lock on the bin (don't forget to bring it now)
6) You have to wear earplugs on the bike;
7) By wearing earplugs you miss the lovely noise it makes;
8) You meant to stiffen up that right mirror;
9) Gosh it gets windy on the motorways;
10) The BMW K75S has self-cancelling indicators;
11) The BMW K75S is very heavy;

I've lost a bit of that confidence I used to have as a more regular rider, perhaps I need to become a more regular rider again! Twas nice to be back on 2 wheels, hearing the wind in my visor and feeling the numb in my.......hands. (hah, only joking, it's very smooth)
