James in Brum

Sold it. At least the 125. Popped an ad up on face ache a little over a week ago. No response to it so though sod it I will insure and use it. Set up insurance and messages an hour later. Young Lad and hi mates came last night with the dosh in hand. I don’t think he had ridden a gated bike before. He had no gloves so I have him an old pair. I hope he got home safely. He was being followed by his mates and told me he had ridden geared bikes but not for a while.

I like the look of that!

I’ll give them a miss thanks

Taste is personal thing, that looks awful to me.

£15 in Halfords will get a tool, I’m off to get one in the morning.

I went to West Midlands motorcycle centre nice to buy from a shop when I can

Thanks all

Hello gang. I’m going to service my bike and I want to know where best to get the bits? I want to not spend a fortune but get quality or some compromise of the two? Haynes says to change the oil filter and the washer on the sump bolt when I do it? I might also get a new air filter or clean the one I have whilst I am at it. Appreciate your input.

Hello Where can I watch the bike racing? Tv channels? Websites etc? I do not pay for posh tv like sky.

Thinking as I rode along this morning and wondered; Is it bad for a bike to not use it's full potential? I probably spend by far the majority of my commute in the 3-7k RPM range and not pushing hard at all. I will occasionally when pulling away give it the beans but usually not. Does this do the engine/bike any harm? Should i ring its neck every now and again?

Don’t tell your cat you think a seventies pushbike outvalues him several fold!

Sorry for you dude.

Good luck dude with the new job.

Next time I’ll bite the bullet. Hopefully next time it will be because if tread not a picture and I can shop around more Looking forwards to following you on a few roads in the spring [mention]fastbob[/mention]

That convo was rigged. Some people had evidently been working towards it all year.

I will endeavour to not be a nob.

Anything I need to know about riding on a new tyre?

HI both. Yes it included the tyre, them coming to my home and fixing it for me. Wheel was on the bike when they got there and is back on now they have gone but with new tyre. It meant that it could be done whilst I was at work which was important and it was flat so it meant not having to ride it flat or try to pump it up with a foot pump. Seems that I got a reasonable deal.

I just paid 145 pounds for someone to come to my house and fit a new Michelin Road pilot 2 tyre. I needed to get it done and so don't mind that I paid it, I just want to know if I have paid for the convenience through the nose. How much do tyre changes cost? what about having it done at home?

[mention]raesewell[/mention] hello, just wanted to say thank you

Mine’s 41 rear

Rather skilful i thought

We have thoroughly enjoyed and benefitted from slings. Stretchy sling for first few months, then a MaiTai then. Tula and finally a toddler Tula.

Oh and the more you put in the more you get out. In the first few months I got up every wake up and did nappy before my wife fed the midsized they see me as someone who meets their needs even though I have to go out to work.

Congratulations to you. The tiredness thing is real. Mine are 3 and 5 and I have not slept through more than one night on the trot for over five years. The thing about the tiredness is the impact on relationships. Things that might not have mattered too much really do when you are tired. Try to always give each other the benefit of the doubt. There are steps where it gets easier, 6 weeks is the first, it will change, it will not always be hard in the way it currently is. Sounds like you have the rewards already happening, it’s not only hard. Don’t be afraid to ask questions anonymously on Mumsnet. But do filter the responses. I found reading around attachment helpful. Reusable nappies are not as difficult as they seem if you have a tumble dryer. Enjoy watching what you like on the telly whilst they don’t get it. I really enjoyed watching Pulp fiction with my daughter when she was about 12 months old when I realised she was starting to watch the tv so my last chance. CBeebies since then. It’s okay tI it hard and not to.
