A wanderer returns
Hi guys.
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Life (and in that, I mean work) has taken so much of my time in the past few months that I have done virtually no PC or Internet related stuff at home. Then my PC, which had been ailing for most of the year, took a turn for the worst. I couldn't be arsed to fix it and when I got around to motivating myself, I didn't really have the cash to waste as I had indulged in a new "toy" in the middle of July (those present at the Earthfire party will have seen it in the flesh).
What time I have had to myself in the since June has been spent trying not to have anything to do with PCs or the Internet, or playing with the aforementioned toy - evidence of which you can see Here, Here, Here and Here
It was a fun day!
Now the finances have recovered sufficiently, I have repaired my PC and I'm back! (waits for the groans
). You never know, I may even find my way back into the chat room.

Welcome back dude! Though what's with using publicity shots from '2 Fast 2 Furious' to spice up your post? 
Just realised I haven't used the pumpkin thingy yet either...

...and it's not a stunt double - they're all me (I need a biking smiley).
Now you know the real reason for why I wasn't around
Seriously though, they were taken at Rockingham race track near Corby. I had avoided putting my bike on a track for fear of what I might do to it (and myself). The fact that I had owned this bike for less than 6 weeks at the time, I was even less eager to do it. However, I was press-ganged by my riding buddies into doing it because my brother was recovering from an operation and hadn't received clearence to ride again. I'm glad that I relented in the end because I didn't regret a second of it. OK, maybe there was the odd sphincter-related moment when you hit the brakes, the rear end starts to snake and the corner arrives just a little bit quicker that you had anticipated... But after brief religious conversion the next straight appears without incident and you're off again!
By the end of the day I was screaming round the circuit. It's great fun being able to do well over 100mph, legally, and not be concerned about whether there's anything coming the other way!
