..and I came out with some nice new boots.


Oh, nd a provisional reservation on a shiny blue Buell Firebolt XB12R. It's exactly as below, colour too. I haven't actually decided to buy it yet but a small £20 deposit will reserve it until Monday. I love Buells though, mental machines that on paper look like the work of someone who should be on medication.

Now I have to decide whether the whim is worth acting on. ARGH!!! This is why I should never be allowed to go shopping on my own... the boots are good tho. :D

I'll let you know what I decide. ;)

Oh yeah, they match well enough, my leathers match my current bike, which is also blue.

Good job, coz I went back this morning and ordered it. Pick it up next weekend. Yay! :D

Be careful driving out there, you, especially in this fog! :P

Sometimes you just have to burn the card fate dealt you.

Oh no.. :o

There was a mirror with a scuff on it that I've insisted they replace, looks like it's been parked too close to a wall or something (no marks anywhere else, so it's not been dropped). Dealer just called to explain that they don't have the mirror in stock, so have had to order from the manufacturer. In the states.

The upshot of this is, the day it will be ready for me to pick up is no longer the 10th. They are suggesting the 17th as weekdays I can't get there in time and it's too short notice to get a day off.

Guys, have you purchased your train tickets yet??

If ya have, no worries, I'll just have to err.. work around it, or something. ;)

(Pammy, didn't I say something like this would happen?)

We did buy the tickets, and should be arriving around lunch time. Is that a huge problem? Jon says we can reschedule up to a month later but I don't know what your plans are like for the other weekends. Jon's going to London the weekend after, and that takes us right into December.... :o

Sorry about the mirror, but at least it isn't anything serious like the engine... :P

They gave me the option of taking it with the scuffed mirror and binging it back when the other one arrived, but the times their workshop is open and I'm available is severely limited, so it'd just be a pain in the neck, plus, if I'm refusing to take it until it's done, it adds a little urgency to their efforts. ;)
