Re: What are you doing today ??

Re: Pet Dog Stalemate

I love dogs, had two Weinmaraners in NZ. But as had been said it's a big commitment. My kids have been hassling me for a couple of years too, but the current state of my marriage has stopped the wife siding with them. I'd love them to have a dog but I'm away 40% of the time, wife works ...

Re: 2016 Honda CBR600rr

Re: Skiing!

... in a hotel/studio flat... Yeah i would recommend it. To be fair it is a gamble with whom you'd be sharing the chalet with. We've done it 4 years in a row and have found the people to be all good, you'd always sort of gravitate to those who you find interesting and visa versa. It also helps ...

Back on two wheels

... protection, plenty of storage and enough oomph for the motorway too and I'm not going to have time for pleasure rides for the next couple of busy years anyway. I parked it at work in a bike shed full of sports bikes and it stood out as the biggest thing in there :) Pics to follow later tonight.

Re: Skiing!

Jorge's house

Not sure you could call it a home.. :D Filmed 2 years ago by Monster and allegedly Jorge asked for it to be taken down after a few hours as he didn't like it.
