Half Shut Knife

Hello all.

First off let me apologise for not posting lately, it’s been a bit hectic.

Me and Em have been looking for our first house and it’s proving difficult. We have looked at 4 places now and we’re still no further forward. I guess it’s trying to balance livability with compromisment. Yep, I have given up trying to find the write words. You know what I mean hopefully.

The GSR has developed a real funny thing. When I get to 6th gear and roll on I can feel a distinct knocking through the pegs. It’s like there is only 1 cylinder going but really slowly, a slow “thud…thud…thud” and it’s at constant intervals so it’s obviously something to do with the engine….I am nearly due for my 8k service so I’ll bring it up then.

Another thing that I need to bring up is the small matter of my bike failing to start. The other day I headed off to work and stopped at the petrol garage. I filled up, went in to the shop to pay, came back out and by the time I had done all that and tried to start my bike, it wouldn’t. I tried 5-6 times to start it and ended up wheeling it over to the car park. I tried a few more times and it fired up no problems. Extremely weird and worrying, considering that not long ago it did that and the whole wiring loom needed to be replaced. I wonder what the reason for it is. Was there an air pocket in the fuel line? Who knows….

Anyway, I am really tired, very very stressed and had a very sore head all day. So instead of continuing to moan my face off, I shall retire to my bed.

Keep checking back folks, I will be updating the site with these things over the coming week:

• Update of my RST GP-Pilot Race Gloves
• Review/Update of my HARDAS Kevlar Jeans
• Update of my beloved Alpinestars Effex Gore-tex boots
• Update of my Puma Desmo 800 boots
• Video post of our Bealach Na Ba ride up and down!
• More gear updates and reviews as and when I have the time.

So I look forward to that.

Thanks for looking everyone, I hope that you haven’t lost interest.

p.s. My freaking camera memory card has suddenly stopped working, so I can’t take any photos, which is really annoying….ARGH I AM MOANING AGAIN! Night all.
