Apologies for the long absence but it appears that our home computer decided that it didn't like us any more and stopped working. This has happened to me before and I lost quite a lot of work a week before a college deadline when a lightening strike blew my Mac up, so I know what a pain in the arm it can be, but the Missus was none too pleased at losing all her work and photographs. Another reminder that though technology is here to make our lives easier, over reliance can mean a whole heap of inconveniance when things go arm over tip.... and yes, I am still a little shy with using certain language on such an open medium, so you will have to get used to the annoying connotations.
Anyway, I haven't posted up anything bike related in a while, mainly due to me being reliant on public transport while it has been fixed up to pass it's MOT. What a bloody nuisance that was. I'll have nothing to say bad about my Yamaha (pictured above), it is after all over 18 years old and can out accelerate many cars today. It was also very cheap to buy and insure, being a classic motorcycle, as well as being economical to run (or at least compared to your average family saloon). Unfortunately, MOT time is when the odds are then stacked against my poor machine as the bits that keep falling off need mending and things like indicators and the such need to pass pesky safety standards. All in all, the bike has cost me as much as it cost to buy to keep it on the road. Do I regret it? Of course not. Will it pass next years MOT? We'll see...
