Well, firstly, the answer to the question.... Think Camel Toe, think Camel Foot.
Yes, this was an extender for my side stand on the bike. They need it.
Fitted to the 1200GS on Saturday morning early.
I had a few plans for the weekend, most of it yard jobs and house maintenance.
Typically though, things are never simple.
While I was cutting the grass at 08.30 Mickey from next door came around with this on a sack barrow, he was going to throw it out, thankfully he told me before he did, so I laid claim to it.
Already planted up. Pepsi can For size perspective.
I did actually have some truck time too, mainly finding bits I previously hid from myself.
Mostly, I had Harley squeaking and getting in the way, she loves the garage when I am down there.
And she loves the truck still......
Later Martin and Andy cam e over for a BBQ, which went as well as it always does. The wings were great.
Today was early Boot fairs, then I went off to another friend, Kevin's place where Martin was collecting 30 concrete paving slabs, soon he will have no grass in his yard.
I have known Kevin for about 13 years, family friend and bike buddy.
He was doing a significant enlargement of his patio with sleepers and some serious trenching needed to be done as well as a load of soil removal. So I was there by 11.00 to get going.
The trench averages at 900mm or 3 foot deep.
Then we had a load of sleepers to measure and cut into threes.
Leaving us with this pile of short sleeper sections. A bit like Adult Jenga.
Much sweating, swearing and digging went on, we had lunch at 16.00 which consisted of left over BBQ, coffee and a few Kit Kat choccies.
And still we carried on.
By 8pm we had run out of gravel for the foundation.
I had also managed to break the large shovel we were using.
Anyway, tomorrow it's back to part two to finish the sleeper wall if the weather holds out.
Kevin was a happy man.
I did not realise just how incredibly unfit I am, well, I did, but this sort of job reminds you.
Tomorrow is a public holiday in the UK, so there will be time.
