Joke at my own expense!!!

A friend of mine sent me this!!

Rubbish, Rubbish, Everywhere!!

Why is it that people feel the need to drive out to lovely countryside locations and dump their rubbish?? Do they not have waste disposal facilites that they can use?? This picture was taken in the week at Jacks Lane in Harefield. This is a green lane that runs parallel to the Grand Union Canal and is part of the Colne Valley Way path, so is frequented by walkers, horses and people on mountain bikes. This means that the rubbish is not only an eyesore and health hazard, but it can cause accidents. Hillingdon Council have been informed of this and I will report back once the rubbish is cleared.

I hate this!!

Ducati Fun

I have to declare that I am a fan of Ducati Motorbikes. My pride and joy is a 2004 model Monster 620 -and it's RED! What do I like about this bike??

Well it looks great, it has classic simple lines and the high level cans finish off the visuals. When you start it up, the noise is great - that lovely Ducati V-Twin throb.... Riding gives you lots of mid-range torque so you can ride on the throttle rather than having to keep at the top of the rev range and change gears every two seconds as you seem to have to do on a V4.

Issues, well the turning circle is not great - but that makes you think about your U-turns! Also you can only use a tankbag for luggage as the high level pipes stop you putting anything on the back (but this stops people trying to cadge a ride).

More thoughts later..
