The trouble is when you catch up to one of these convoys and you are in a car they are usually bunched up so you can't pass one at a time as there's no gap. If its more than 2 cars you need a decent stretch of road to take them in one go and you can just about guarantee it'll have a speed camera on thar stretch. That's one reason why when I'm travelling alone I'll nearly always take the bike as its just so much more fun.

Even if you can successfully weld the break the chances are high that the material immediately adjacent to the weld will rapidly corrode away or it will fracture on the edge of the weld. Patch in the short term, replace in the longer term.

A month ago my mother went into hospital with congestive heart failure and tbh we all expected her to have died by now. My brothers came over from the USA and Germany and we expected the worst. She's still going but in the meantime has caught C.diificile (a nasty bug which has rendered her incontinent) and now Covid as well. She's obviously a fairly tough old biddy as she's still hanging on but she's not doing herself any favours really as she's never going to get "better" by any real definition of the word. Sometimes we treat our dogs better.

Have a look at Motolegends website. One of the owners is a female biker and they sell a lot of the good stuff and they're no more expensive than anyone else.

Nice run down from Carter's Bar (I think).

Well in 2 years time if Labour wins the election they can show us all how it should be done.

Crashed and castrated in the process ideally.

I've currently got a torn achilles which is being treated with a bloody horrible plastic boot etc. However I had to ride my bike from Northumberland to Gloucestershire yesterday so strapped ankle and wore my Daytona Road Star boots for best part of 300 miles without pain.

Complete and utter bast*rds. I really hate thieves who think it's okay just to plunder someone of their earned stuff.

I have a couple thousand us dollars in cash from work but due to family circumstances had to cancel trip to Appalachia. Now have Channel Islands instead. Not bad but not what I'd wanted.

Not so keen on them removing lines or cat's eyes on winding country roads. Bad enough at the best of times.

Limping off to the Channel Islands for a bit. Brothers are covering mother's hospital stay and I need a rest and some time with my wife. Had to cancel US trip for a number of reasons.

What equipment have the 2 million reinforcements got though?

Oh well done you.! And 10 out of 10 for sticking up for your colleague. Not something that is too common in any field of work I think.

Don't think the cost of living crisis is exactly the fault of the Tories given its a world wide phenomenon and so far as I know we are no longer ruling half the world. There are things they can do to mitigate things so will be interesting to see what if anything they do try.

Funnily enough there was no prang just a slowly developing pain over a number of miles over the moors. Swelled up like hell but no real painful moment. Given my luck has to turn I'll buy a lottery ticket tomorrow.

Just found out I've got a 50% tear in my achilles tendon. There are times when life really, really is a total bitch. Totally and utterly pissed off.

You're not the first to fall victim to this bunch of cock-wombles.

Worst leave off my life.

Today I'm going to watch my oldest grandson play rugby. Under 12 B's so not exactly international level! Still he'll appreciate us being there. Tomorrow its back on the death watch for my mother - in addition to congestive heart failure she's now got c. difficile which makes things even more unpleasant and means I'm banished from daughter's house as I'm considered too dangerous a risk to middle grandson who has just had bowel surgery which is fair enough.

Make sure he does the patio before the beer or you may get a very odd patio!

Too long ago to have the email I'm afraid.

Try contacting Sports Bike Shop. They told me what I needed and supplied it.

I don't think the establishment really gives a rat's ass if one individual wants to protest. Over zealous jobsworths may but these are probably the same people who were threatening people who had the temerity to actually go out in lock down.

Sad to say Johnson was one of the worst offenders for this kind of behaviour.
