Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Babysitting a broken bus, belts have been squealing all morning, then went quiet, now it's overheating and puking coolant...
I think it's thrown the belt but not allowed to open the engine cover to find out.

Why does this always happen on my last run before a break

Worcester itself.? Fwiw I do like the areas that roll down to the Severn.
I've got friends we visit fairly regularly, in Norton (just south of the city itself) and my Godfather's family live in Malvern.

Yep. 10 mins walk to the centre and river. Early days but neighbours seem decent.

Thats cool! From my googling skills seems beers with Kwacky will be much easier to facilitate now, and you get to borrow a bike of him for a change

A PCR test, the 9 year old had one yesterday and was positive. FFS!

Balls. Where do you suspect the 9 year old got it from? School?

Yep, double-tapped, so hopefully it won't kill me. Looking forward to the rest to be honest and my new noise-cancelling headphones turned up today so happy days.

Yep, school or the school minibus.

Well I hope things get improved and that you are all okay! Fingers are crossed for you.

Off out to see a new Hip hop artist called Marlowe

Packing a bag. I'm not feeling ill so I'm going to do a PCR postal test this afternoon and then bugger off down to the house in Wales for a week. I can't visit any clients or construction sites so I might as well work down there for a bit.

Oh how I would love to do the same! Absolutely every stage as we try to finalise our rig, something is going wrong. I'm pleased it isn't just me.

Jess' car went into limp mode again today. Same code as last time, though had to pay a mechanic this time as I'm out at work. He's cleaned the throttle body up and has it running ok again, but isn't convinced it's not a deeper gremlin. Its a 2013 Jeep compass she's had for 6 yrs, I've never liked it, but she bought it right at the point we got together so I didn't have any say.

So did some researching tonight, and convinced her a 5 dr hatch is more bang for your buck than a small SUV. The Hyundai i30's have really stood out as a value buy compared to others in that category. There just happens to be a low km one in the colour she preferred just 10 mins down the road. Going through a dealer so the Jeep sh*tter can get traded. So she's off to test drive tomorrow. I'm going to pay for it and she'll pay it off so she doesn't have to get stung by interest. Well not the financial kind anyways

I'm actually looking forward to having a drive myself!

Meeting one of my heroes.

Hyundai i30s are also very affordable in Aus compared to anything German. The i30N is 2/3rds the cost of an Audi S3 for you guys, for us they're very closely priced

Anything Euro or British is pricey. Asia is much closer to Aussie
