Re: What are you doing today ??

Well yesterday was eventful. Grand parents were minding the kids, me and the missus were chilling and then we got a call to say the youngest had been injured at laser quest. They bring home and he looks like a pirate with a patch on his eye. We ...

Re: What are you doing today ??

Dying from a hangover. Was having a nice romantic meal at home with the missus as kids were at a sleep over. On the second bottle of wine the missus decided to have a downing it in one competition and it got very messy and silly from then on in. Suffering now but we ...

Re: What are you doing today ??

The Peaks is the same mate, this winter of shed loads of rain and freezing nights has ruined them. I hope not Monty. Seriously these roads were undriveable in a car at 10 mph and absolutely shocking condition. I m not taking a little stretch but mile after mile of proper pot holed road. It ...

... gear for 100miles that I was out for. Had a real squeaky bum moment at one time. Blasting along a road and around a bend panther other side there were 2 horses. I slammed on my breaks with engine breaking (2ND gear) and they turned in front of me. I'm so glad I was in the right part of the road ...

Re: Head or Heart?

... literally just ridden it home from Nottingham via a fry up in Matlock and given it a clean. Also didn't help that the brake and clutch perches were set almost horizontal so I had to take my hands off the bars to brake! Suspect Duke might have a point with the shitty touring tyres as the profile ...

Common sense would dictate that the US would prefer oil prices were higher so they got more revenue from their oil but that doesn't seem to be the case if they are flooding and already over producing market.
