Mini Milestones

The mighty Princess Sugar Sprinkles ticked over 38,000 miles in my care yesterday.
That's the same distance as Rick Mereki travelled in 44 days,
The same distance as this lovely Datsun 240z has covered in it's life so far, and about 1 and a half times around the Earth.
Thanks my lovely.

Perve

Today I finally installed the Yamaha DSP-E1000 in my HiFi. I'm lucky in that I inherited a lot of good, not necessarily great, stuff from my Dad. The DSP was part payment for some work I did years ago and has sat unloved for too long. Now it's in and I'm am absolutely loving it. The vinyl has been dragged out and the neighbours are hearing DJ Shadow as it should be heard.

Yamaha Super Tenere test ride

Had a chance to take the new Super Tenere out today for a few hours, lots of fun, great bike, seriously better than a BMW GS. KTM Adventure would have the edge off road I think. Still the S10 held it's own, even 2up.

XTs, TTs, XTZs, C90s?

What do the above have in common?

Thumpers, or indeed, thumpettes.

Dave and I crashed the XT500 forum run at Llanthony Priory on saturday. There were some nice beasts there, and it was good to catch up with a few people too.

Then we rode like hoodlums back along the Gospel Pass.
