Saxophones Carrying a tenor on a (motor)bike?

No pruple logo, though.

It would clash 😉

Why don't you get a silver one? They're better!

 

[richardr]

Good choice. Have fun.

Well, didn't get to go on a big bike. Probably just as well really, as wasn't at all sure I had remembered things from Sun.

The other guy out on the lesson was a bit of a klutz - he failed to get through his CBT at the weekend it seems, and he failed again yesterday.
So we did a lot of the stuff we did on the road ride on Sun, with me at the back and and able to think about what I was doing, and listen into the discussion, without being in the firing line.

Seems the instructor was watching though - he was able to talk through a lot of what I'd done at the end - but generally thought I'd done OK. All lessons and both bits of the test booked in over the next 5 weeks - eek!

How do you fail compulsory basic training? Some people shouldn't be allowed on two wheels.

Well, his hands and feet didn't seem to have any connections between them. And none of them appeared to be connected to his ears. Though to be fair to him, he was getting a lot of input via his ears

Your 'L' plate is illegal, or it would have been when I learnt.

Did they let his wife to attend?

No, but the instructor is a former Sergeant Major 😱 I expect it'll be me getting it in the neck in future

Ok thanks, will find out what I have to do, before I go out. It's going to rain plenty tomorrow, so I'll use tomorrow to get sorted and hopefully to out on Sat.

If I remember correctly the plate had to be vertical.

the instructor is a former Sergeant Major

Based on a true story:

Officer to conscripts: "you can ask to join one of our special corps. Today a sergeant major from the parachuters will tell you about it"
Sergent major: "because, you know, it's cool: you jump and you feel tough and strong. Because it's like, you know, you get tough in the parachuters... Any question?"
Conscript T: "I don't want to be in the army. What should I write in the form?"

... Silence ...

I hope conscript T caused enough confusion in his career in the army to give him several opportunities to quote his hero:
'Military justice is to justice what military music is to music'.
Groucho Marx.

Luckily, despite being assigned to a military band, his career start was delayed for such a long time, that conscript T was eventually left at home. Following the aforementioned episode and the ingestion of several coffees, he was also classified as "almost unfit for military life"

He then volunteered in the Freedonia Bed Corp.

Jay, have you had a ride on your Yamaha yet?

 

[Jay]

No 🙁 Got back on Thurs night with the bike, to find that they'd resurfaced the road. The whole dale, 7 miles in one direction, 5 in the other, is a mass of loose gravel! Even the 4x4 was a bit skittish in places. Plus it rained most of yesterday.

But today is beautiful, and a day of traffic up and down will have 'rolled' the road a bit.

Chemo last night is taking its toll this morning so having a slow start but planning a route over a cuppa, with a map in one hand and a list of tea shops in the other 🙂So hopefully going out later on 😀

 

[Jeanette]

Have a great day Jay, it is beautiful here too at the moment

Tar spraying. The bane of bikes. Piles of loose stones right on your corner line and chipping the paint as you scatter them. Be very, very cautious.
