Well, It's been a very long time since the last episode was inserted into this epistle. I've been busy. After all that trumpeting about the new bike, job etc. I have been rushed off my feet with the job to the extent that I hardly ever get to ride the new bike. so here I am in June 2002 with a bike with less than 1500 miles on it.
It has been through it's first service and has not had the clutch interlock problem sorted - I'll talk to the man again about that little problem. But apart from that each and every mile had been at worst pleasant and at best terriffic. It was very hard work running it in, something which I decided to do even though everyone I asked thought it unneccessary. But I'm a traditionalist and felt it needed doing.
So onto me - a subject I know lots about unfortunately. I have been diagnosed as diabetic. Not the full blown inject with insulin every four hours or you will die type diabetic, no the don't eat anything remotely like worth eating or you will be very poorly kind of diabetic. I'm most p*ssed off with it actually, because I've lost a load of weight and all those new clothes I bought for the new job are all hanging off me like a sail on Twiggy.
