Monsieur Le Postie probably saw the UK stamp and decided to leave it a while.

Is France still on strike?
Oui.

We had a general strike yesterday (i think). Big strikes because of pension reform at the moment.

Tbh i agree with the government here as some of the schemes just are not economic.
We need to be more like the French and stand up to the Govt.

I don’t know what French state pensions are like but I do know the UK state pension is well down the league table of generosity as far as Europe goes.

Lots of little bits recently. Even ordered a DVD

Sirens - A Channel 4 production series going back to 2011. I have ordered this online prob come within a few days but it's hard to find - DVDs I've found going up to 70quid! Only made 1 series think it was too dark humor for the British public but I thoroughly enjoyed it!

A givi M3 mounting plate for a monokey box, for the Kwak.

I have ordered a few bits already including some Gtechniq C2 V3 after seeing how well it's worked on Kwacky's Versys.

Today an Evotech radiator guard arrived and a pair of Motion Pro spinner T handles. Just got to get the guard on there now and while the fairings are off I will ACF it.

Stonesie, are there any good deals out there on the rad guard? I feel like I should get one as it cost me half a day when my radiator got a leak... if that was day 1 I'd have been livid

Have a look on ebay, you can often find them where people have stripped a bike for part-ex.

Not that I have seen for the Evotech, I just ordered direct. I like that they don't sit on the radiator as I have seen cheaper ones rub the radiator core and actually cause a leak.

At least you can do it online, which saves a lot of time.

A USB power socket for the bike with a built in voltmeter, in green. And the V5 for the Kawasaki, feels like it's really mine now despite it saying that it's not proof of ownership...

I've got a Spigen case coming. Used them for my last 3 phones and love them. That said, I always end up with a broken screen since it only takes a tiny stone to hit the screen for it to smash. One of the annoying things about a curved screen haha.

This time I've got the Spigen Liquid Air case
