Indian Mum

Mum visited us this weekend, arriving by train to Slough where she was collected by Smeeta after work on Friday. On Saturday we went for a bird-watching walk around the reservoirs near Tring, and popped in to our favourite farm shop to get some more Rapeseed oils amongst other things.

On Sunday Tara came over, as did Usha and Bhavisha. Mum had mentioned that she’d always wanted to wear a Sari, so Tara kindly brought some over and got her dressed up in a very lovely green and gold outfit. Hilary was absolutely thrilled – she was like a small child with a favourite toy 😉 She looked a natural too…

New look Nelli

As well as the freshly painted carbon fibre fairing panels I recently bought another exhaust from one of the guys on the Benelli Forum. It’s a Micron can designed for a GSXR1000, but fits ok with a short adapter pipe. I like it a lot – it suits the lines of the rear of the Tornado really well. It sounds good too, and the AFR Tuner that I fitted last year will mean that the engine breaths correctly even though the gas flow will change slightly with the different exhaust: the AFR Tuner will adjust the fuelling to compensate.

I took a couple of iPhone pictures in the carpark at work. And then tweaked them a bit with Snapseed…
