It's when Wagner get hold of the nuclear weapons we need to sweat Fwiw when I heard the news that Wagner were turning on Putin, my immediate thoughts were not in any way positive.. Uncle Vlad may be a psychotic despot, but I don't see any safe pair of hands ready to take his ...

Re: What are you doing today ??

Took the MTB to a local guy to get fixed. It was missing a chain and generally looking sorry for itself, much better now but needs a good clean.

Also treated the road bike to some new brake blocks as they were basically useless.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Went to a bike meet in Hereford. It was busier than I thought it would be. Some old classics there too. Plus there were too many Harley's as well. Can't stand them I'm afraid. https://www.dropbox.com/s/t1lxkzrzramfm77/Hereford%20Bike%20Meet-1.jpg?raw=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/tb819rnrkrrcx6n/Hereford%20Bike%20Meet-2.jpg?raw=1 ...
