Here I am at my desk, where I've been since 6 a.m, as usual, on a office floor of 200 people, but today it's only me. :mad:
I'm bored but at least have a tv to watch.

Is anyone else stuck working today ?

Yes, my hubby is at work.

He left at 0515 for an 0600 start.

He will also be working Christmas Day as well.

It sure is annoying being stuck in Spain. As the roads are all in lush condition, and I would have the only Ducati on site.
It will but really nice just to pull up next the to guy on his little screaming bandit to show him how a proper bike should sounds.

Yep, I'm in work today, been here from 7 and stuck till 7. No TV (anything good on?) and no-one else on this floor, infact there seems hardly anyone at all onsite apart from security.

But I've had my de-catted, with a wider manifold and a Power Commander engine management gizmo too.
That makes it 140 bhp tested at the back wheel. And yes, it's hard to hold on. :spin:

I did bump thread a few times last night and got no takers :cry:

Oh well... we had a good run to Box & rain held off. Not on M25 either - only the A25 which was ok but a little busy. Rykers was quiet but spent a few hours nattering and watching bikes, before heading back on A25 again.

Nice to meet Ladybird today, and see Scrapps Belgium shirt which Gadget bought down to show off :cool:

Missed the medieval do, got up too late, but went over to a friends and then did a few miles of the coast road, and had fish and chips by the sea. Then off to pub and chatted for a bit more.
Only fly in the ointment of a very pleasant day was some dozy cow backing into Clives bike and knocking it into our mates bike. Looks like new fairing, crash bung and exhaust for Fuzzy and new front muddy for our mates Guzzi. We just sat and watched in horror as it happened. Took piccies of her number plate etc and her in driving seat so she can't deny being in the car. Trouble was it was in a car park attached to the chippy so I don't know how we stand about claiming. Ho hum!

No monstering today, but I was on bikes with other (ex) monsterers.

A fantastic long weekend in Wiltshire, trail riding with fellow UKMOCers JMo, Julie, Ruth, RobHT and Rogerg.

Beats working anyday!

I was. I was working on a Yamaha R6 at Cadwell, preparing it for the British Supersport race. You will have seen it if you've watched it on the TV. It was the Linxcel / Seton Tuning one whose chain came off going over the Mountain. :(

P.S. It wasn't my fault. I hadn't touched the wheel alignment or chain adjustment yesterday morning!!
