Final Day

So here I am in the one thousand and first day of my first 101 in 1001 project.  I say first because I almost certainly will do another, although I’m going to think more carefully about the tasks for the next one so I won’t start it immediately. It’s unlikely that I will complete any [...]

Another Two Done

Another month has passed and I’ve completed another two tasks.  I had to cheat a bit on the Burns Night dinner by actually having it at home myself.  That’s good enough I reckon since I can’t go to one nearby and anyway the next one won’t be until after the 1001st day is up. So [...]

Leaky Bike

My new R1200GS has sprung a leak in less than 2 weeks and at under 500 miles (well OK at under 20500 miles in total, but under 500 with me on top). The Final Drive RHS seal looks like it’s gone, and if a search on UKGSer.com is to be believed (and I suspect it [...]

555 Days In

No I haven’t managed to say inside for 555 days in a row.  Even when I’m old and retired I don’t think I’ll be allowed that luxury.  No in this case, I’m 555 days into my 1001 list with 38 tasks completed.  Of the remaining tasks about 50% are in progress one way or another [...]
