What's new in my pathetic life? Not much I guess. Well, I bought a new scooter, my ex-G managed to crash my car and I bought a substitute for a meaningful relationship. No, it is not a inflatable doll. It is a beautiful little creature... actually two of them, fan foot geckos.
OK let me tell you something about my monsters.
Their names are Jennifer and Mike. Jennifer has hatched on 22nd of February 2008 and 2 days after Mike followed her. They are unrelated or rather they were unrelated. They are obviously in love if lizards know such a thing. The only way of recognizing her from him is the tail that she had bitten off as a youngster. The last centimeter of her tail is different colour. See picture...
Well, I have only had them since April so all that I know from the people I bought them from. Here is something I had to find out on my own. They eat mostly black crickets and mostly at night. They aren't very playful, they are very easy to freak out and they don't really like to be touched. Only couple of days ago I got bitten for the first time. It was Jennifer trying to let me know that it was enough of me bothering them. It did not really hurt, but she would not let go. I had to literally pull her of my finger. Well, I still love them.OK... scooter... what is there to say?
It is Gilera DNA 50 GP experience. Year 2002, but it was almost unused. It only had 347 miles on clock, which was enough for someone to manage to fall from it. Nothing really happened only right side cover got cracked.
The bike was restricted to 30mph so I needed to do some research of how to undo this. Did not take long and I find out that there are only few thing to do:
1st - change exhaust or saw off a blind pipe on bottom pipe of exhaust
2nd - take out this little ring from the front part of gearbox
3rd - change main jet in carb for a bigger one (56 recommended)
4th (optional) - change strings in rear part of gearbox
Well I have not done the last bit and it is already able to do 60mph which is more than enough for me.
Car crash
There is not much to it. As far as I know she was entering parking lot when someone was exiting it and he did not let her in the parking lot first and managed to crack left side of my bumper.
My insurance company (Halifax) is trying to take away my no claim bonuses, so I might end up only insuring myself next year. It is still going to cost me a fortune. Bloody ex-G. Bloody Halifax. Hell... bloody careless drivers...
One more thing I want to say... If anyone reads this stuff of mine, I am currently looking for a industrial placement for my placement year in any computer business, might you have any vacancy info (preferably within 10 miles from Kingston upon Thames) please drop me an email..
Thanks anyone who reads this stuff.
