What the feck have you done today?

Well, the $XV made it to work (2.5 miles) - no holes in the engine....leg wasnt covered in oil so all good.

A nice spin this afternoon on the forum's most aesthetically pleasing bike.
Over to Teesdale, along to Alston and the first brew of the year at the Nook cafe.
Then Haltwhistle, back roads through Carrshield to Nenthead, Weardale, Stanhope, Blanchland, past my house (was going to step for a pleasant sit by the wateside at Derwent reservoir but the fuckers charge £1.50 parking for bikes so they can fuck off). Stopped for a breather in the sunshine at Snods Edge church instead.

Saw this Suzuki 500 traillie thingie at the Nook. W reg so 1980-ish? GS/GSX 500 twin engine I'm guessing. Didn't know they'd built such a thing. Quite liked it. Would be nice for burbling round the twisty fell roads.

Taking the bike back to barracks now, then Tesco for a bottle of wine and some sort of fodder for tea and maybe a quick pint as I'm going past the the pub and it would be rude not to. And so ends another day.
