You are welcome to come over anytime, Bob. Warm home cooked meal and booze. ps: bring your bike washing talents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Giving the bike a check over for my upcoming trip in a couple of weeks time. Thought I’d do it now rather than last minute.……..oh and painting the outside of the garden walls to smarten them up and get some good-husband points in the bag. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win win for me now I'll be using the bike to go to work for the foreseeable as the jag is out of mot ad it needs both intake manifolds replaced which is a pig of a job so you have taken it off sorn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why exactly did you do that.......to make it faster laid up in the garage? I took it to the dyno to see what it's putting out. I've done about 1300 miles on it this year which whilst not all that much it doesn't matter, I've been spending time with my family because I'm away pretty much all week and skye wants to spend all the time possible with me so I can't deny her that just so I can go out on the bike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are awarded when the good husband does something before he is asked. They are banked for future credit against something of a good husband might want to do. However, these credits can also be debited from the good husband account if he doesn’t do things that he has been asked to do. .The number of credits needed for any particular thing is subject to negotiation between a good husband, and the lucky wife, These credits are also known as gold stars in some societies. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
