Not only is Steph dead; but she is in little bits all over ebay, Random Zero is selling her off on my behalf to raise money so that GLaDOS (Suzuki Maurauder GZ 125) can live, if you want parts for a Yamaha SR 125 (91 Reg) please have a look.
My Suzuki Marauder has turned up; it was stolen from Random Zero’s way back in September of last year; Random Zero and I are waiting for the police to give us full details on the muppit who stole her, with a view to starting procedings against them, or (if they […]
After outsmarting the Bacon Sandwich, I recovered Steph to RandomZero’s last week to fix the Ignition Switch, I purchased a cheap replacement from Maplins which should be able to make and break onto load at ~30A @ 12V (won’t be making or breaking on much more than 4A @ 12V), […]
Last night I rescued Steph from Bristol; she had been stolen by some one who could have been out witted by a bacon sandwich; and really a over cooked one at that. Despite having a full toolkit; the instructions for her electrical system; and spare parts, they failed to steal her in any […]

UPDATE: She has been Found. While I was at work today, some un kind person stole Steph (S85STF) from Gloucester Street, on the corner with Fishponds road. Talking to people in the area we think she was taken between 10:00 and 12:40. Avon and Somerset police have been made aware […]
Poor lil Steph has put up with me riding her through rain and well less bad weather for about 500 miles now; and I am intrested in the way that I am treated by other vehcials. Cars and Lorrys give you much more respect than they do when you are […]

I got the following email off of Transport for London’s Ben Plowden: Dear Skippy, I am writing to both cyclists and drivers to remind them to take care on London’s roads. Cyclists are reminded to: Be aware of blind spots all around large vehicles. It’s often safer to hang back […]
This morning I got my hand back 🙂 It was nice to have the cast off as it meant I could wash my hand for the first time in five weeks. I have got a thumb support now However I hurt my hand by knocking my hand while packing so […]
This is what was under my old black cast; i finally got to give the itchy parts a scratch (don’t scroll down if like me you faint or this may be a trigger) And under the sheet is a padded thing and the end of the metal pins And here […]
Back when I fell off Steph, I wrote off my helmet and gloves well today I bought new gloves and helmet So I should be back on Steph soon after the pins are taken out of my hand in two weeks time.
I got my new cast today, they asked me what colour I wanted, it would either been purple or black (other colours were available but were dismissed as too garish). The Doctor says that in two weeks they will pull the wire out and I will just have a splint. […]

Ok so Stephanie is not some lovely young lady, more is the pity her name is Stephanie due to her number plate “J85STF”; which makes her the first vehicle I have ever owned with a name. She is a Yamaha SR 125. Azz, Betty and I went to look at her on […]
The Bike that Azz and I looked at today in Carterton is a Yamaha SR125; mine does not look like the one to the Right. The SR125 is sold as a learner or commuter bike, the page for the Yamaha SR125 on the manufacturers site states: Easy to manoeuvre, simple to use […]
