Up north, the tank and front end are a good 200mm lower than on the 650 I would say.
If you look at MB's photo it's the same.

Put the optimate on until green - green, all good.

Today was the weekly meet of The Friday Night Club (FNC), 8 lads who have known each other for the best part of 60 years!
Usually it's a few beers early doors, but today was the Christmas party, which involved pork pie, sausage rolls, pickled onions & a few extra beers ........ well, it is 'nearly' Christmas.

Time spent with friends is never wasted.

A bit of a personal acheivement for myself & the Mrs today - we paid the mortgage off! It's been 25 years in the making but it's done & dusted. We took a massive gamble some 15 years ago and borrowed a chunk of money against the house to set up the wife's share in her Pharmacy business. She's now retired and we've chipped away at the extra burden until today. Mortage free feels great, it could only be better if it was my 58th birthday tomorrow - oh hang on, it is

Today is my birthday, a 'young' 58. Pick of the presents is a copy of Geddy Lee's autobiography 'My effin' life' which I will be reading throughout the year (I'm not a fast or particular reader, I just pick up books up as & when I feel like it). Oh, and lots of wine...

Cheers folks, much appreciated. I've just got back from a couple of quiet drinks (followed by several rowdy ones..) with friends and a curry at the Manzil at Morpeth.
All in all, a top day

Today I dragged the Mrs out for a rather bracing walk. We've done 3 miles and it's a bit blustery so we've got rosy red cheeks. Time for a well deserved cuppa & biscuit I think.

Sat around for an hour or two this morning then cooked & ate the first breakfast of the year.
Fixed the waste bin in the kitchen. It's been faulty for months but you can't rush these things.....turned out to be a 5 minute job.

Now sitting down again ready to watch Derby progress in their push for promotion!

Photo to prove it did happen.

And as for you 2112, pull your trousers up whilst you're walkin.
Pffffffftttttt.
Upt.

I bet it's under the eggs with a haggis slice?
I've just gone real hungry.

Upt North, a school boy error I'm afraid, none in the house, not even in the freezer!
I've let you down, I've let the forum down but most of all I've let myself down!

Mick, just like my school report....."you must try harder".
