Things you just 'really like'…..

That, in essence, shouldn’t be so satisfying…

For me, it would be:
-the ‘snip’ of scissors cutting hair/paper
-watching suspension forks track up and down (particularly POV camera shots)
-Car windows down on a really cold day…

Being outdoors really early in the morning, before anyone else is up and about.

Wagamama Ginger chicken Udon .LOVE it

crack

Watching a pint of Guinness settle

Alex Pollizzi

the tick tick tick of a freewheel
a warm breeze
smell of a home fire

A well turned out lady, always makes my day.

nice cup of tea with plain choc digestives

Turning my lights off at the top of a hill on a night ride, and just silently looking out over the lights of Manchester.
Then turning my lights back on and going hooning down it! 😀

Lining up the ruler perfectly against the crop marks on artwork, then running a scalpel down it.

Harlem Shake! 😀

I like those calm little moments before the storm, it reminds me of Beethoven.

In the real world though, very early cold mornings and the sound of birds starting their day.

Lying down in a field full of long grasses and wild flowers, and looking up at the sky on a hot, summers day! It’s almost like watching an entomological motorway …. Sooooo busy! 🙂

Motorbikes 🙂

Bought my 31st bike of the last 5 years 🙂

the taste of human flesh
pleasuring myself to the national anthem

The sight and sound of ducks landing on water.

911s

A perfect health shit.

cold glass of milk and chocolate thats been in the fridge.

cup of tea with 2 sugars after a long hard mud fest of a ride in the cold.

sitting in my chair camping with a glass of red and the last rays of the sun dropping below any hillside in the lakes/Scotland etc etc

the atmosphere in a public house, between 2.30 pm and 7.30pm.

The smell of two stroke or Castrol R as a bike goes past.
A perfecly tuned guitar.
Watching Swifts & Swallows.
Class 40’s.

Yes!!! Its not just me 😛

For me its the smell of 2-stroke and freshly cut grass.
Hmmm 🙂

-watching suspension forks track up and down (particularly POV camera shots)

This is good. I like watching suspension working on anything. The big Dakar trucks are good. Bonus points for POV shots that show the suspension assemblies/linkages working.

I also like watching vehicles turn sharply and at slow speed when they have multiple steering axles. Particularly rear steer stuff. Always fascinated me since I was a kid. No idea why, it’s a ridiculous thing.

Me and my 3 year old likes watching ‘geeky’ videos of engineering stuff on you tube too, such as:

DrP

Chopping wood

Throwing my biggest boomerang,and getting it just right.
That slow curve through the air ,then helicoptering right back to the start.

Being called Dad

the atmosphere in a public house, between 2.30 pm and 7.30pm.

Amen to that Ton. Sat with a pint and the paper.

Cheese on toast

particularly POV camera shots

Yeah I like these too. Ahem.

Dead legs, after a very long hard ride.

Inhaling helium from balloons and talking in a squeeky voice

Flying water fowl – with long necks. Always make me smile that. 2 swans were flying parallel to me on the motorway the other day, ruins my driving 🙂

For Rusty Spanner. I made a deal with the wife when she was pregnant if i could buy a new bike i’d keep it for 5 years…. i kinda broke my promise…

I’ll do my best

This is the newest one.

I have recently become enamoured with these

Taking a dump on work time, nothing quite like getting paid to poop.

The smell of woodsmoke.

sitting on the beach when its quiet picking up handfuls of pebbles/sand and letting it filter through my fingers back onto the ground.

Opening a pressurised bag of Arborio Rice.
Slicing and Aubergine with a sharp knife.
Angel Delight
The feeling I get when I’ve just completed a high resistance 30 minutes threshold run on my rollers, especially as I usually want to quite after about 10 minutes.

Oral. And coconut macaroons.

A massive full moon, that’s so bright it casts shadows.

Live music… any live music… love it all.

And

Watching Spurs beat Arsenal … Please let it be, please

Live music… any live music… love it all.

even Mumford and Sons? 😆

The feeling of total clarity in my head after sleeping off a migraine.
