Pie man

I don't think this will interfere with our travel plans but, mindful of Chunnel/Ferry crossings, next year Germany are hosting the Euro's, kicking off 14th June - 14th July, then, Paris are holding the Olympic games 24th July - 11th August, followed by the Paralympics 28th August - 8th Sept, and as always, the TDF kicking off 29th June - 21st July. I think its either an early June trip or another September quick blast might be in order for me.

I always zip my textile suits together, the only ones that don't, are my jeans and Revit Eclipse mesh jacket (no zips)

I haven't got a scooby about utilising the control, after my luck with the last couple of bikes, my option now, is heated gloves, more faffery, but can use on more than one bike.

I pulled up to the first pump at our local petrol station, I got out of the car just as some entitled little shite shouted ' don't be a complete tw4t, why are you not moving to the next pump'. I just ignored him and carried on. He waited patiently and it didn't take him long to apologies after he had a lesson on how to fill a car with LPG from the only LPG pump on the forecourt.

Not a road to get target fixation Personally, I don't like roads such as the Col de la Morte and the Stelvio, too many tornante, makes for a tiring and tedious ride.

It is roughly 4 small motorcycle bays and It isn't secure parking either at Chepstow Street. I know because its close to Peveril of the Peaks a boozer owned by one of the wife's relatives. Can you not park in front of the academy in one of the cycle bays, as long as it doesn't say 'for cycles only'. I have done this at St Peters Square, down Mount Street (but not left it there for long, also put a cover over it). Unfortunately, I don't think the city and its mainstream parking sites cater very well for the motorcyclist.

I find Nikwax visor spray works really well, when I have none, I revert back to Pledge furniture polish

Good Evening. Just back from Rugby Training, its cold out there tonight.

Its the final tonight isn't it

We have the clean air zone coming too and that is all revenue driven, all in the name of sustainability, of what I might ask.

Welcome. Cant go wrong with an MT07. I commuted on one for 3 years, light and nimble and useable power to have fun on the way home

Its about time cameras like these are actually put to good use instead of unscrupulously used as a revenue collector. Due to the amount of car crime where I live, we have campaigned for surveillance/CCTV cameras located at certain access and exit routes in the area. Both the police and local council are not interested. We have a large neighbourhood watch group on Whatsapp and now share Ring door bell footage and other home CCTV footage whenever someone reports an attempt or theft of a car etc. So far, the evidence we have provided has lead to one arrest. We report every incident to the police (for what it is worth) however, in doing so, my house and car insurance has doubled you couldn't make this shit up.

Myself and a couple of my Warringtonion friends still refer ourselves as Lancastrians, even though we are supposed to use Greater Manchester for administrative purposes, I still put Lancashire on my postal address. I loathe using Greater Manchester.

I never paid much attention, I put in E10 as its cheaper

To my fellow Lancastrians.

Off to watch Peter Kay on Friday neet at the AO Area.

Really? I would never by any Oxford product again, The Rianseal kit I had was absolutely useless and the Oxford Mondial Advanced kit was just as bad, had to send the kit back twice, I gave up in the end and now just use it for summer use. Its no use in anything more than a light shower.

Yep, its that time of the year, I need to put the thermal liner back in the jacket and change to my winter gloves. The pesky gritters were out tonight too

There is always the well known auction site for old military/navy gore-tex clothing to go over your bike gear.

Grass Roots Rugby on Sunday, 4th Round of the Lancashire Cup, followed by a couple of sherbet's in the bar afterwards

Oh FFS. We're nearly in December, don't be having any silly ideas of a winter tour.

And easier to apply, straight from the tin
