:bag: I thought for a minute there you were making corsets and me thinking why would she need corsets for a wedding ?

Swmbo was consulted for an insight into the mechanisms of wedding planning.

It's small arrangements of flowers right ?

Just realised that a strange noise I've been hearing was because I have stuff all front brakes left. Guess that means I'll have to ride the CX500 tomorrow. No complaints from me there....

Bad luck there Kym  :(

 

 Take it easy & get yourself better before you do too much

 

Hope it wasn't your tour of the UK that did it !

 

Still - 3 months at home will give you time to post all those pictures up  :good:

 

My working TDM is in France now - got to put the front discs on the Studleybike & get it MOT'd

 

Currently sorting out the Fazer - passed the MOT yesterday, but needs new front brake pads
