bonio

I'm comin'. (I know I said this before, but that was a couple of years ago). But I'm not hotelling, so I'll probably bimble along with the rideout for a bit before peeling off for home.

Nice one Deso

Agreed. One boot in one size will fit, while another in the same size will be too big or too small. The best way is to try them on.

Ha. I had this in a bank once. I went in to use one of the automatic terminals, and feeling lazy so I left my helmet on. Fair enough, I was told to remove it, and then completed the rest of my visit wearing in the black balaclava I'd had on underneath.

Gutted.

Ordinary boot sales don't normally last for four days...?

Bummer. That looks like a good do, but I'm going to be off and away in the Emerald Isle.

Can't see the logic myself. The letter said vehicles were allowed into bus lanes depending on whether they are considered to be sustainable. Two bits of this don't make much sense to me. First off, wouldn't this mean that electric vehicles should be allowed in, and perhaps mopeds and 125s as well? But more importantly - why this principle? I thought the purpose of a bus lane was to reduce the traffic and congestion by making the bus journey faster, not to reduce the city's carbon footprint.

Have a cracking day Hoggs. Happy birthday!

The bike's going down the Pan.

Nice web site. The description of what you're offering is nice and clear. Now this is probably a really dumb thing to say - but are you tracking the site's stats such as, number of visits a day, pages visited, time spent on the site? Because if you are then you can see how the stats changed when you changed the prices and the description of the accommodation - which pages were affected? Did any pages get noticably more people or people spending longer on them? And if there wasn't any change, then you would need to start looking at what is driving controlling the flow of visitors to the site, given that it's not the prices or the words. But like I said you're probably on top of all that already.

I bought a whole stream of gloves from SBS last year, in the hunt for a pair that would fit (short fat hands). The Orsa gloves were among those that had to go back. But I liked them as they were comfortable and seemed solid and well made. I also liked the thinking behind the two little bumps on the palm that are meant to help you continue skidding along the tarmac rather than catching on the road surface and breaking your scaphoid. But is that just a gimmick too? Honestly I haven't a clue.

Top bike, Beefy. Well done.

My Dad used to have one of those!

I get this on mine, especially if it's been holed for a few days after riding in the wet. The best cure I've found is to ride it.

Well done Beefy!

I turn?? I thought the lady's not for turning!* * Soz. You're way too young to remember that one.

A lot of people struggle with one or other of the slow riding components on Mod1. I did (U turns ) and I never thought I'd get the hang of it. But I did, and so did 1000 others. So don't sweat about it too much - it will come in time. Meanwhile these tips might (or might not) help Keep your head up and look where you want to go; whatever you do, don't look at the cones! Keep some light pressure on the back brake; this will help keep the bike steadier For the figure of 8, you can ride as wide a circle as you like, so feel free to use all the space there is in the test / training area All the best with it . Once you;ve done Mod 1, the rest is all downhill.

Yup. Little lady legs attached to half a bum.

Can't find leathers to fit me. There's always way too much spare space around my bum. So in summer it's a leather jacket and Hood jeans. Textiles in winter.

Well done mate.

I'm reading his autobiog cos it was 20p an on Amazon and I was feeling kind in the mood for splashing out wildly on something. I'm enjoying a lot more than I expected.

You won't regret it! And that price is a bargain.

I'm in

My previous lid was a Qwest - really comfortable. Before that I had an HJC, an FS-14 or something like that - long since discontinued. But I usually find HJCs fit me ok. Not as comfortable as the Qwest though.
