Revolver

Lols. My friend says I can try his GS500. I'll wait until I've got more experience with my own bike but I'm expecting to be disappointed when I get back on mine after 500 POWER.

Who knows, I might do nothing because I don't get paid enough. f**king sainsbury's! Give me more hours.

It's not vanilla sky? Tom cruise wears a mask for most of that.

It's a troll, everyone.

Probably best not, if it's a road bike stem. Trials is odd because a light bike is great because you need to heft it all over the place, but you need a strong bike to take all the punishment the shock loading deals out. You're probably best off ditching your suspension though. Watch some videos and see just what people can handle with rigid forks - you don't really need suspension.

Facking shitty rock peds! Can't find that video.

Purple-and-white-stripe POWEEEEER.

Haha, I know what you mean but you'll have to trust me, anything more than 5 and you're better off letting them follow the camber.

You caved and did it when they asked, you're now on a slippery slope.

Building muscle is working slowly. Can't wait to finish this course and earn some real money.

Grumble. Supermarket work is dicks. I regularly am made to collect trolleys. This task annoys me for a few reasons. I want to build some muscle, but in order to do this effectively you need to be in calorie surplus, and particularly a whole 5 hour shift of trolley retrieval burns a f**kload of calories that I'm not paid enough to replace. It's annoying when people say 'it's good exercise!' when they're much fatter than me, also. There are a few other people capable of doing this task, and usually on a Saturday it's one of them (there's a guy who's been doing it for 60 years, what a joke!) but on an evening time when I work, it's at best between me, this supervisor dude who is kinda needed to supervise, this f**ker who's got a lying doctors's note to get out of it because of a back injury that doesn't stop him going to the gym, who also sometimes smiles smugly if he's passing on the order to go out and do it, and this girl-pants who can't push more than 6 trolleys because he's a girl-pants. There's a rule that says you can't push more than 10 but that's a god damn waste of time. This dude never exceeds this limit, so he's slow as hell. Because I don't give a shit about this rule and I want to push these pieces of shit back as fast and in as few runs as possible I end up doing it a lot faster than other people so I kinda get why it's usually me, but that doesn't stop it from draining my spirits. Let's also not forget the customers who try and snake you to save a precious few seconds. Trolleys obey the camber of the car park so whatever space is there one second will be gone the next, and it's their car that gets ruined. And the taxi and van drivers that park in front of the shop so you can't get past, and the people stood around where you collect the trolleys from getting in the way so you can't crack on and do your job. And the people who attach the wrong trolleys to each other because they're lazy cnuts which causes growing amounts of faggotry if left unattended. Oh, and today I got sunburnt from doing it. It's sort of true that it's nice to be outside (avoiding adding bad weather to this list), better perhaps than being inside on a till, but when you're inside you can talk to people and sometimes have a nice time, whereas when you're outside you're only faced with things that people do that piss you off. It's difficult not to get roped in with negative feelings when doing this task. Well, shit, I wrote an essay about how I hate pushing trolleys. Don't suggest talking to supervisors about it, I've made jokes about disliking it, I've clearly expressed my dislike, I've offered suggestions of using other people, but to no avail. I looked at transfers to a couple of other stores too, no luck. Looks like I'm snookered! TL;DR - give me a trolley and I'll ram it up your arse.

Haha, someone's done that already! Messily :/ apparently the baffles are on the way out, it does putt a little bit. Cheers!

Yeah, the exhaust needs replacing fairly soon. Well, the forks don't leak and aren't rough so I think it's alright!

I snapped a bolt on it The gear pedal has a fair amount of play in it so I tightened it and it sheared. I managed to get it out using some wd40 and by drilling a hole in it and using a needle file to grip it and unwind it. Relieving! I've got a picture too.

I know, but what happens if you put one in the middle of a car? Equal downforce?

Potential dumb question: If a spoiler provides downforce, why don't you put one on the roof in the middle for equal downforce? Would it slow the car down? I wondered this since the avantime episode of top gear, it might not have been ideal but it could've worked.

How do you repair kerb damage?

No, I wonder how his first day at work went, with a hangover

Lol, old habits.

I suspect I can get it insured for about £120, maybe less if I ring up and ask. Man, this will be fun. Is that a single cylinder 2-stroke?

It's not booked yet... There's things to sell and do. I need to shift my alloy wheels and car, I think with the wheels gone I can afford a CBT lol

It's usually a faff. I copy the img URL from the bar and then manually add img tags.

I'll probably be there by 2, due to some other stuff happening first.

The bike is now in my garage! There's a few things to fiddle with, namely the foot brake light activation spring and the choke cable. otherwise It's all good really.

Treat all occasions where someone or something might psyche you out as a game. The objective is to remain calm. If you stay calm you win!
