I had my blog post all sorted today. I was going to talk about not being able to buy one of those little Lego toys from Shell as the tank on my motorbike isn't bike enough to fill up with £30's of V power petrol. I did ask, but there you go. Instead I'm just going to mention that when I got home I disturbed a burglar as he was trying to rob my house! I walked in the front door, the dogs were acting strange and then this low life came barrelling down the stairs. He looked right at me, all 6'3 of me, still in full bike kit, helmet the lot, so one can only imagine what he thought. The very least would be 'oh no!' Anyway after chasing him out the house and kicking in the side of his car I called the police and went though the usual process. Thankfully nothing seems to have been taken. This middle aged 'man' if that is the most suitable word for him, had rummaged through a few cupboards and things, but found nothing that interested him. It could have been a lot worse, but I'm okay with the exception of a sore right foot, the house is now secure and the dogs are fine. The Met Police were great and arrived very quickly and they were soon followed by a man from the forensic team. I got a really good look at the gentleman, so cross fingers, he'll get what's due, which I hope is pain and discomfort.
On a much nicer subject, I'm heading up to Birmingham after work tomorrow for Motorcycle Live on Saturday. I'll get a some pictures and a review up as soon as I can. I'm really excited about seeing the new Ducati 2014 bikes and much less interested in the new Kawasaki Z1000, which looks awful.
I'm taking the car with me, which means I'll need petrol, so it looks like i'll be able to get one of those Lego toys after all.
