Well now he really is ready-ish

Posted on 15th January, 2012

Ahoyhoy peeps,

After our day in Manchester Sir Humphrey & I thought we were ready but alas we had not considered the packing and then the mountain of jobs that then creates. Nevertheless after 8 hours we were packed bar those essential items I have forgotten or yet don't know about. There was also a prolific amount of swearing at KTM engineers who designed a seat locking mechanism that after 10 months has completely failed necessitating it to be broken off and making a slight mess of the seat. This would not be the end of the world as Sir Humphrey is still under warranty but he has to leave for Heathrow tomorrow and he'll be out of warranty on his return. There was echoing of previous swears at the KTM bosses who tried to save pennies by buying low quality bolts which after only 9 months had to be ground off with an angle grinder! Oh well. MAGPAS office for 8am tomorrow for Sir Humphrey's press leaving. Radio, press and hopefully TV. He is a photogenic boy.

Speak soon, TTFN.
