... So I have decided to fire the parts cannon at that too and ordered a new condenser (the little radiator at the front which gets blasted with road debris) And a full service kit... (deadhorse) I was considering trading this car in but now it owes me money so I'm keeping it and trading up can ...

First time out on a bike this year…

Took the Thruxton out for its MOT and came home a slightly long way. Hadn’t been down that road since the floods. Pot holes big enough to swallow a whole wheel all over the place. Some I missed by mere millimetres.. roads here are so f**ked atm.

... it's a 1200cc bike with 180bhp... Safe to say it can be a bit of a handful if you are a little over enthusiastic with the throttle, however in road mode it's as easy to ride as a bike half it's size. This bike has been designed by bikers, not a marketing department. I'm sure I'm going to keep ...

I liked the time traveling between the two.... canyon road, half-hour drive, and usually the only time I had to myself.

... with the Sydney Area Production Manager over zoom early next week. 3 jobs were up on offer and I’ve been selected for the one 15 mins down the road. Only three people through to the second interview. So by all accounts the job is mine to lose. I’m still not decided which way I’m going to go, ...

... it looked balanced. Both the front and the rear came up at exactly the same rate. The ride back was along the A442, past the Quatt cafe. The road is really mixed in the state of repair. You can feel it settle much quicker and smoother when you're going over bumps. The front tracks really ...

... and rear adjustments and told me what does what. He agreed that the steering damper has limited adjustment but he reckons you don't need one on a road bike.

... slicks, Kiwi? These tyres are their soft compound and the front tyre is a downhill tyre :D it drags really badly. I wanted to do it all off road but when you're heading into a city you don't have much choice for that haha.

... the PCP ends in three months, so bike shopping it is. I've enjoyed having the XR and it's done me proud for commuting, but it doesn't have the backroad blastability that the 990 Superduke had and I do miss the naked bikes. So.... 1st out. Triumph Speed Triple RS... What a machine.. After adjusting ...

I took the SX out for a couple of hours. I got my favourite Old Ludlow Road in during the ride.

Then gave it a wash.

We're onto Season 4 of Waterloo Road

... that's all thanks to my perseverance and resulting fitness improvements :) This was my ride home yesterday. Climb to the woods then about 25km of road. Training Ride #20.JPG

failed mot on noisy exhaust ,tree hugging nonce so bought some baffles and will get it on the road for the nice weather

... hit the jumps harder though Sprog is getting silly fast and now goes on the adult track beating most of the boys Found a great track just down the road in coventry ,MX is fantastic for fitness

He appears to be a crash looking for somewhere to happen.
Fwiw, I'd be very surprised if he wasn't DUI of something.
Standards of road use are undeniably deteriorating, but most worryingly is that society seems to be normalising it.

Far too many twats on the road unfortunately. There seem to be a good few that have decided that anything they don't like deserves a "break check". I've had a fair few do it to me while towing.. I have had one or two change their ...

Today, was just another day surrounded by idiots on the road. However this one has moved me to posting a video..... I have had to delate the sound on sections as I was in a state of hi-pitched ranting (blush) (wasntme) It does not look as dangerous as ...

I liked that clip where a load of Russian tanks got attacked on a main road and they retreated sharpish.

What I can't understand is why oh why hasn't that convoy been attacked? It's a sitting duck. Surely Russia must be wary that it might get attacked?

... get fuel for generators up to about 15 households flooded in the upper reaches of the Colo River. They have no power and are completely cut off by road. When home I try to help her out where I can. So I spent the morning collecting Jerry cans from locals and got them loaded on my trailer and filled, ...
