Ironing fist? You do the ironing
Anyhoo - I took the forums most aesthetically pleasing motorcycle out for a run today, went to Knaresborough which is nice, then Ripley which is nice and onto Pateley Bridge which is also nice 
Then went to view a holiday let apartment in York that's up for sale (no appointment but could peep through the windows)

What is the head to ironing ratio
I actually ironed a shirt for the first time in maybe 10 years the other day!! For a funeral..What is the head to ironing ratio
Normally I have nothing that needs ironing.
On the few occasions I wear a suit I get it cleaned and pressed.
I get plenty of head though, so the ratio is very good!!!
My insurance renewal letter has just arrived from Swinton. Policy renews on 19th Sept for the 350LC.
They tell me that last year's provider hasn't given a renewal price, so they've sourced an alternative with Markerstudy Insurance Services.
Fully comp with a £300 voluntary excess and no extras comes to £78-18p. Last year was £73-75p.
I'm ok with that.

After a dry week spent hay making I had a slightly moist 
ride this morning. I stopped here to take a photo and was just putting my gauntlets on when a haughty voice said "can I help you?" I said " no" (my son suggested I should have yeah, put the kettle on love I'll have a cuppa tea!) She said "what are you doing?"
I replied "taking a photo of a beautiful bike in front of a beautiful building" This took the wind out of her sails and she disappeared back behind her garden gate.

Today after having a unexpected bolt of enthusiasm i went down to the garage to get to the bottom of the Enfield problem. I have with out doubt a fueling issue so took the fuel pump out of the tank and give it a good clean, i know the fuel pump works as i tested it. Fitted it with a new fuel strianer because i can and put it all back together. I can't start the bike as the battery is flat so will charge over night and give it another go tomorrow after i've cleaned the injector within an inch of it's life after some tips from an Indian guy with subtitles in India on youtube. I have a feeling it could be the injector so after another good clean and still the same result i will get another one, there are a few on Ebay going at a sensible price, 100 odd quid brand new.

I love it when it works, it just gives you a new look at things as in not riding around at warp speed!! I'm 55 and i love the 996 but when the RE is sorted i will take that all day long.
That should give you plenty of time to arrange pickup!when the RE is sorted i will take that all day long.

Yesterday I did a nice 70 odd mile circuit from home through Bedfordshire and then around North Hertfordshire before stopping at a lovely country pub recently taken over by an Italian family and now serving good pizzas and pasta .

They have a very large garden and in there they have set up a petanque pitch, or is it course ? I`m not sure. There must have been an organised competition as there were about 20 people playing yesterday. Luckily no violence despite all competitors being white , middle aged or older so obviously of the Far Right. I even saw some people smoking outside, disgraceful scenes !
Here is a strange rule from the game that I`m sure many of us will strongly approve of :-
fanny (mettre fanny). To lose a game without scoring any points; a shutout game. When a player loses 13 to 0, he is said to fanny ("il est fanny", he's fanny, or "il a fait fanny", he made fanny) and must kiss the bottom of a girl named Fanny.
So there you have it, The Musgrave Arms in Shillington, the place to come for pizza and fanny.

The road between Hitchin and Codicote and between Hitchin and Barton Le Clay are great for motorcycling,Yesterday I did a nice 70 odd mile circuit from home through Bedfordshire and then around North Hertfordshire before stopping at a lovely country pub recently taken over by an Italian family and now serving good pizzas and pasta .

though both roads have claimed their victims over the years.
I used to live in Barton Le Clay and would regularly ride to Codicote via Hitchin. Lovely roads as you say and enjoyable without having to go mental as some beautiful countryside to look at.
I used to cycle from Hitchin to Barton in the '60's it was a peaceful country lane with hardly any traffic.
We used to walk up to the spring in Barton it's a lovely walk.
