Eldorado is a fantastic album. Boy Blue is another great track from it.

This is a pretty good review and sums up a lot of what I think about the bike.

The Scrambler 900 is a pretty good bike. Although his would be restricted the bike is more about the torque than the bhp, so it pulls pretty good from low revs. The pillion seat is pretty small, but it's the same on the Trident. The seat height is pretty low at 790mm, so it's pretty easy to flat foot it when stopped. It's quite heavy, 223kg, but it carries the weight pretty low, so you don't really notice it. The tank is only 12L, so the range isn't fantastic, but it's not too bad on the fuel. I'm getting around 4.0l/100km (70mpg), which is pretty good for a 900cc, 223kg bike. It's only got a 5 speed box, but it doesn't need any more really, because of the torque. The handling isn't too bad either. It's not in sports bike territory, but it can be moved along fairly smart! Would he be buying new, or secondhand?

Mum said that it looked cold........

Looks legit!

Happy birthday Pete.

Funnily enough, I used to go to a pub which was used by some of the guys higher up in the HA of England, some of them had pretty respectable jobs and were well educated. Obviously there were the foot soldiers, some of whom were not too bright, but you certainly didn't mess with any of them. It was rumoured that some of them there were involved in that little disagreement that took place in the New Forest years back.

Not much going on this weekend, apart from going round friends for lunch on Sunday.

Had labyrinthitus/ vertigo for most of the week, so I've felt fairly shit for most of it. Seems to be clearing up a bit now, so hopefully I'll be OK to fly on Tuesday!

We're back to the UK for a few days next week. Mandy has to visit a customer in Cardiff, so I'm flying over with her and then I'm heading to my mum's for a couple of days. Then we're meeting in London on Friday and heading up to Cambridgeshire to see my lads and Mandy's son and then flying back on Sunday morning. €100 for the return flight for me. My lads are coming over at the beginning of June for a week. They got return flights for just over £100 for the pair of them!

All it needs now is a trailer.......!
