  1. Sorry to hear you had a smash, bet you are shaken. After a bit of time have a think about where hurts. Adrenaline might mask an injury. Regarding what happened it would be hard for anyone to second guess I think. How well do you know the junction? Is it on a bus route (maybe bits of diesel and or oil deposits particularly I f a tight turn where vehicles may have had to stop to wait for their turn), is there any toad furniture like drain covers which may have low friction in the wet? Did the front wheel slide or the rear?
  2. Can you get your knee down on ice though ? And get it back up?
  3. Look for a Zzr600 I say or zzr1100 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133528613525 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274424394225
  4. Yes, or at leas there is on my D1.
  5. If I have a license still in the new year I will invest in a helmet with built in speakers to listen to music whilst I ride to help me avoid going to quickly and enjoy my commute.
  6. I think if I remember rightly it says that it is about listening to music that does not engage parts of the brain you need for cycling. Music with language in that provoke spacial responses in the brain not helpful. Music that does not helpful. I think
  7. Especially when the required skill set is so basic! I said that while the current pandemic is still raging he'd be better off investing in a bottle of Dettol and opening a telephone sanitising business. Of course the success of those outfits back in the 1960s was probably more to do with having an attractive young lady leaning over your desk than to any genuine fear of germs, so he might be onto a loser there as well... All Those on the B ark are laughing now!
  8. Is that you? I’ve never tried DWS, loved watching some in films like King Lines but not tried.
  9. Congratulations
  10. That Meme with the bloke kicking the air. What is that? Where is it from? What does it signify?
  11. Hallo, I am a furloughed climber (due to children). I have often thought about riding to a sport venue.
  12. James don't you get tired of being so righteous you need to chill out more Thank you for your concern [mention]dynax[/mention] , I don’t find it particularly tiring to try to avoid doing the wrong thing no.
  13. Within a few days of each other we have several members decrying the blatant rip off of the BMW SS and another digesting digital piracy.
  14. I commute 20 miles each way. It is enough. I would do 30 if all quick road so 45-50 minutes ish each way. I recently wondere about NHS commissioning in London with the idea I might commute once a week from Brum but be based in a local office the rest. I would do that for the right money. I would not daily commute over an hour each side of the day because that is time away from my other responsibilities as a Dad and Husband. Without those responsibilities I would consider it but it would have to be attractive.
  15. OK, I first saw the light of day thirty years after the end of the Great War. So please forgive any cock-ups I make here, I just getting used to it. That makes you 102 years old . I would think it makes them 72?

  18. Hi gang, just on episode two of long way up, I have watched long way round and have long way down to watch. Is anyone else watching? They are riding on modified Livewire bikes. With Rivian providing electric support vehicles.
  19. Is that you [mention]fastbob[/mention] who has a birthday today? Happy Birthday
  20. Probably the worst time to be speeding! He was in his boat to be fair.
  21. The phone coop have been reasonable in their customer service and are a cooperative. They are subject to bt sorting the infrastructure too.
