Re: Mr Postman
A mystery package...??
I've no idea who sent it or what it is, other than it's from some clothing company I've never heard of that's located down the road a few miles away.
Intriguing....I feel like El Guapo in Three Amigos - "It's a sweater!!"

Fatal crash in Birmingham
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-b ... m-68336299
Dickhead decided to use a busy residential road as a drag strip.
The standard of driving in Brum is horrendous. Jumping red lights is standard. They ignore pedestrian crossings. They overtake into incoming traffic.

Nope.
He's right though, given a while they'll fade...at which point their entire reason for being there will also fade, and they'll just look like an asphalt patch/road repair.

... I had to remind myself "New rubber on wet roads, be careful" Gaz has a GSA too and had a couple of rear end slips following me on his Road 6 tyres, he's seriously considering a set of these Dunlop's while they are on offer. I need to get more longer rides in to get bike fit again and ...

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
... state. On closer inspection many of the bolts around the bike looked really furred up. I have come to the conclusion its not dodgy pads, just shit road salt and what ever else they throw on it to make it sippy and corrosive. I have noticed in the car the lack of grip as well, possibly the tyres ...

I'm amazed it passes Germany's TUV standards.
Its a crap idea. Lights are there to be visible and alert road users behind, anything that detracts from that cannot be good.

My man flat has off-road parking, but I'm not sure I'd want to leave a 10k bike outside, plus insurance, so I might have to wait a bit. In other news, I bumped into Rick ...
