Gis a Job

After nineteen years and two weeks, I find myself on the Dole for the first time in my life!!, I have an appointment on Monday at the job centre where I have to go to see if after paying approximately £140,000 in income tax over my working life i can claim £60 a week. God life is good. I will have to wait for approx two months for my pittance of redundancy (government maximum)payment. In the mean time Mr Abbey will still be wanting his mortgage paying.I feel really sorry for all the other good people at my old company who also lost ther jobs, especially my lads from the factory floor, and i wish them a speedy return to work. Thats it Whinge over.

Tig's 2008 rossettes



We found life in grade 3 to be really tough this year, and only managed fouth place or lower, where as we had a brilliant year in 2007, still we've been quite consistent and if we get a clear we're nearly always top ten, so we have to drill our contacts all winter and be ready for 2009!

New Loud Rush Pipes on "The Bob"




I picked these new pipes up from the dealer and fitted them myself, they sound great and look ok they are quite a bit slimmer than the old ones but are also about four inches longer, and unfortunately the brackets don't line up properly, so I had to take them back off again, and take back to Shaw HD, they're gonna have a go and I'll have to wait and see what happens, I can't get the bike down there until this foul weather clears up a bit. So far the old girl only has 64 miles on the clock!! in five weeks.
