Bikes and Scooters

Got me first eva tat last wednesday.

Bin meaning to get a tat for a while. Tis funny, when I woz a younger lad I never wanted one. Even in the army, when mates were getting inked, I woz never innerestid at all.

But lately I've had a whole noo perspective about things, in fact apart from two basic things that are core to me being me, most everything else has changed. 'bout berluddy time too I reckon.

To show just how far I've gorn in the change department,...

Well, been a few weeks as a builders sidekick, fixing up in-sewer-ants claims.

Must say I'm enjoying it as well
So far there's been two "fire jobs", a couple of "secures" (securing up after a break in or storm damage etc) and some repairs to water damage.

Too many cars hadn't been serviced since new, the last straw was a Toyota Aurion with 65,000 ks never serviced, stuffed tyres and disk pads down to metal. Just prior to that was a Hyundai Getz with front...
