Michelin Pilot Road 3, again

MOT day for the VFR, and it needed some exhaust bodgery and a new front tyre to pass.  The garage had no Pilot Road 4s, so a PR3 went on again.  The last one covered 11,500 miles, not bad at all. I've managed to hold onto the cash from the caravan sale, at least so far.  I've been tempted by a Triumph Acclaim, a really clean mk1 MX5, and today a 21-year-old Transit van. I need none of these things, but that gap on the drive is acting like a vacuum, drawing in any passing shite.

A fool and his money...

Caravan was sold yesterday, so I've now got a lot of empty space on the drive and some spare money.  What sensible investments are available on eBay, I wonder? MSX125?  Still too small and too slow VTR1000?  I would certainly enjoy some big V-twin action, but is it different enough from the VFR? It'll have to be the home-made camper based on a Citroen DS then... except the bidding has already gone above what my lovely clean caravan made, WHAT MADNESS IS THIS?

eBay shenanigans

Over Xmas I decided to sell the caravan, so right now it's luring scammers/muppets on eBay.  I've had a couple of calls from sensible folks, but the rest have been wazzocks asking for info that's already stated in the advert.  I can't be doing with dealing with idiots, so I've ignored them. Bought myself some late Xmas pressies, including this wheel chock-thing; it took quite a few horsepowers to get it onto it.  I may be there forever, long after the house and surrounding area are turned into a spaceport.  It'll be the Kawasaki Stonehenge.
