Friday 21st July
PCC pretty excited!!!! Just going through the blog for the millionth time. Toby needs to upload a picture of the Triumph at some point :)
Friday the 11th August
It's the last weekend before the tour - Stu is still undecided, which tool he should polish up and bring, but my money's on the Rocket III :)
well having just polished the Rocket III (~ big fella on the far right ~) enough to see my ridiculously large tour beard in the reflection I think the choice is made !
Pillion footboards now fitted for the comfort of my passenger ( pic to follow ) and a last minute order of a chrome radiator grille which i'm promised will be delivered tomorrow morning (hmmm we'll see!) its game on for an invasion of mainland Europe.
This girl is so spoiled !! Although when i said i had a lovely pressie for her for her holiday I cant help but think she didnt look all that excited!!
Im such a thoughtful husband !!
---------------------
Saturday 12th August - 4 sleeps to go and ......
.......Look what just turned up, woohoo!! Chrome cruisers from Bournemouth you guys are faultless everytime so far :-) i feel the need to justify its not just something that's shiny that looks really good it will actually help prevent stones going through a very vulnerable stock radiator. ( but it does look shiny and desirable too!)
and fitted :-)
Critch shines the helmets. No flies on them anymore. Anti rain spray applied but hoping not to require the use
Sunday 13th August, with 3 days to go and Elaine is starting to practice packing!!!!
With the Viking looking on in a manly way - weighing up his Viking lady with a beard a little less ginger than that of the man :)
PC has done all his packing, along with the biking equipment, so just Mrs C's suitcases to pack - now that's going to be fun!!
Tuesday 15th Aug
One day to go and PCC is checking the weather - we'll use the BBC for the weather tomorrow me thinks!!!
Mrs C has had a holiday hair cut and obviously nails done too.....
