At a push I will eat any kind of biscuit.  Even fig rolls. 

When we were having an extension built we left a selection of biscuits out for the various trades people to have with tea / coffee. 
The fig biscuits were never eaten. 

Well a good ride out with @CB999 and time for a quick tag and bacon butty / bap / whatever.

East Midlands #1 Two Flags Cafe

West Midlands #4 Oily Rag

Good Morning 

Today I need to go to The Post Office

 

It's very close to 4 Pubs!  

Best walk then

While in Norfolk got

East of England #1 Stow Hall and 

East of England #2 Avanti Grille

Had a bimble over to @Hoggs in Norfolk and did some fettling on the Z750.

I find my custom made ones irritating after a couple of hours, but only the one. Using a different helmet made no difference.

Have you tried Green Flag. I know they cover older bikes but not sure about European cover.

@rennie congrats 

Happy birthday @rennie hope you had a good one.

I’ve had to use 4D. Wasn’t too bad, the biggest problem was with solicitors.

long story shor.

got rear ended at lights. 3rd party admitted fault. His insurer was based in Ireland.

they would pay for damage but no injury claim. (Damaged shoulder and leg and back not serious enough for hospital just doctors painkillers etc) so had to go through my insurer eg 4D and solicitors. 4D chased and pressured the solicitors and got thing sorted , only took 14 months for injuries to be settled, bike payout took less than 2 months.

I use an Oxford tyre gauge. Think it was a recommended buy in Ride magazine. Halfords sell them. It

matches the reading on my digital gauge, but it is easer to get on the bike valves. https://www.halfords.com/motoring/motorcycling/motorcycle-accessories/oxford-tyre-gauge-pro-dial-type0-60psi-461054.html?_gl=1*1bgivsf*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTgyMDY5NTcwMS4xNjkwMjIzOTY1*_ga_VK44BRER97*MTY5MDIyMzk2Ni4xLjEuMTY5MDIyMzk4Ni4wLjAuMA..

Churchill are your insurers and it’s their responsibility to deal with the claim. Stay away from anyone else claiming to be a claims handler.

 

 

Churchill are the 3rd party insurers. The OP insurers have passed the claim to 4th dimension to handle.

Bumper midge hatch alert after warm spell - BBC News

 

Scotland's midge population could soon be unusually high due to recent weather patterns, according to experts.

The Scottish Midge Forecast said the insects hatched within a shorter timeframe this year because of a cold spring followed by a warm spell.

Dr Alison Blackwell said this resulted in a large first hatching with smaller geographical variations.

She said if it remained damp or humid she would expect a "mega second generation" to start hatching.

 

 

Thanks for that, I think.
