Just my fookin luck… :roll)

So…

Sent Lorraine ahead so’s she could meet me when I dropt bike off fert dyno run.

Reckoned to give her ten minutes, then go…

Ten mins later, puts me jacket on ant mobile starts buzzin…

Methinks, “What’s she done nar…?” but it’s not ‘er…

“Hiya” he sez, I’ve just noticed yerv got yer bike booked in fert dyno.”
“Yea, asright…”
“Well, er… dyno lad’s left, so we can’t do it…”
What the…? :shock) …I’ll ‘ve ter call yer back – me missus is already on ‘er way…”

Called ‘im back when me ear’d stopped burnin’…

“When did he leave?”
“Last week – an' he won’t be back fer two an’ ‘alf years ‘cos that’s ‘ow long they sent ‘im darn for…”

….No answer to that, is there?

...Like I sedd...

Just my fookin luck... duh

Today, the plan was for Lorraine to head off to the dyno shop in the car and yours truly to
follow on the Yamaha to leave the bike for the day. Then, together, she and I would troll off,
car-bound to the Lake District for a bit of “discovery and adventure”. :cool:

Long story short, we went to visit the Bowder Stone...

Image

Image

…before moving on to Butterrmere/Crummock Water for lunch and a “little" climb… :eyebrows)

Image

We arrived just above the tree line at about 1530 and decided it was too late to continue to the top… :roll)

Image

– so we came down again, :-P deciding on the way to go back to Anglesey in a couple of weeks for a nice,
long, trackday weekend! :twisted)

That’s life! :rockon) :mrgreen:

Well… :roll)

Got the bike back – with a little extra power! :mrgreen:

Due to my ignorance I wasn’t aware that the EXUP cables had failed, and it was only through the diligence of
Jay, (the Dyno-man) that the necessary repairs were completed in time for the TD at Anglesey this Friday. :eyebrows)

He found me an extra 34 bhp!! Image

Image

No - I didn’t “feel the difference” because I had to ride home, across the moors, in freezing rain… :banghead)
...but we leave for Ty Croes tomorrow. I hope the weather stays sorted! :twisted)
