My summary of 2020

<< < (3/6) > >>

cooleronthecoast:
A quick summary from me.  I took my Aprilia Tuono for MOT back in February, just before the first lockdown started.  The bike passed fine, but had an advisory on the front tyre.   Ten months and probably 150 miles later, I still haven't changed the tyre, but plan on doing so before the next test in Feb 2021.  To put that into perspective I'd probably hope to cover 5000+ miles on that particular bike over a 12 month period.

Nurse Julie:
Not too bad this year considering the shite we have been experiencing along with everyone else. I was still using the bikes to go and do the shopping during lockdown, always going the long way round 😊😊😊. Also managed quite a few longer trips, 250+ miles each time when allowed. Probably still managed to clock up over 4 k miles in total on assorted bikes so not too bad I suppose. No riding in India or Cyprus this year though ☹️.

Did you get a lot done in the workshop?

Yes, a load of work came in as owners made the most of the lockdown and took their engines apart for something to do, so Trig had loads of extra machine work to do. My little ebay shop was also very, very busy.

I feel lucky compared to some of my friends on the forum (my thoughts are with you Andrew), Me and my family are in good health, I'm semi retired (I'm going to fully retire next May at 66) and work from home, so apart from minor irritations of not being able to do the nice things we like to do (pub once a week and odd meal out), life has been ok. We always say that as long as you and your family are in good health, everything else doesn't really matter. (When I look at my parents generation who endured war, bombings, menfolk away at war for years and rationing - and no NHS when they where children, this pandemic ain't that bad relatively).
We managed to get away in the motorhome a few times and out on one of the bikes most weeks (albiet only short runs). Also, built and sold K6 cafe racer which has funded the 500k2 build - which is progressing well.
Hope 2021 improves for everyone who hasn't had as good a year
