Its not true, I didn't fall in the canal
Sorry about the long break but stuff has been happening. The extended wet the grandbabys head celebrations that merged into birthday celebrations that merged into other peoples leaving dos that sloshed into my retirement dos all took their toll.
I finally pulled the pin on 4th October and rode back home on the 5th. 94000 came up on the way back
We have been pottering about for a few weeks
I much preferred Lands End in the early 80s when I was on a 4 points run and all that was here was this little hut with a jobbing artist inside, none of the tat that's there now. Anyway I then spent 2 weeks fighting Microsoft into submission and now have something similar to what I had at work , the only remaining problem being a 47GB pst file on Onedrive that loaded up fine but won't download, answers on a postcard to this address. Anyway as light relief from that I noticed there was a 50% off sale at Ocean last Saturday and legged it down the road to get some new waterproofs. Well the jacket was OK but as I'm still a fat bastard (retirement target #1 is lose a pound a week for the next year) they had no trousers my size. So I bought the jacket and persuaded him to sell me a pair of trousers that weren't in the sale half price as well. There was a slight catch in that I had to buy this as well
I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time and could raid the pension fund for cash, I think he could have sold it half a dozen times since Saturday. Its a 16 plate with 10k on the clock. Very clean, 2 years warranty etc. So I'll have to potter about here until next Saturday when I get my hands on it. Mind you there's a very big swell running on a Spring tide with a howling easterly behind it and its raining for 2 days so it doesn't look like this right now
So the K12 is up for sale, you can also get the Akrapovic, the original exhaust, the 2 spare wheels, the two fairing side panels that need painted if you are going to use them. Make me an offer I can't refuse. Otherwise I'll return it to standard and sell the rest separately. Meantime I'll get it fettled and run it for winter and keep the K13 tucked away for the better days. I have a London trip in about 3 weeks which will be a useful run in trip
