Mrs Trellis gives Trump a history lesson.

If you look closely you will find out that were the Asians who have been having wars for longer, about 3,000 years before Europe -

Well, I can assure you that in person she is anything but bored Quite funny in fact. I believe that what you think is being bored is her perfectionism. No it's not that it's boring but that she sounds a bit passionless to me. It's not for not listening to her either have listened to pretty much all her albums multiple times (ran the jazz section of a record shop) but she just doesn't do it for me as a singer. She's plenty popular enough though so I must be wrong Don't forget she's Canadian... Want to see passion when they sing. look for Mariza with a song called "chuva" (rain) or pretty much any other of her songs

Russell Malone is brilliant but I've never seen the appeal of krall. To me she always sounds like she's a bit bored. Well, I can assure you that in person she is anything but bored Quite funny in fact. I believe that what you think is being bored is her perfectionism.

There are guitar players and there is Russel Malone Then you put him together with Diana Krall and you get this.

Right. As I posted elswhere, today I did the test run on the seats. Journey, just under 280 miles Weather, windy with gusts from south(ish) temp varying between 19 and 14 with a peak of 20c near Aberdeen. Stopped in Stoneheaven at the 100 miles mark, second stop Braemar and a 3rd stop for fuel in Perth before going home. Before the alteration of the seats I would have to stop at 70 miles trip. The road was motorway and dual carriage till after Aberdeen. Then turned left at Huntly to follow the A97 southbound and then to Braemar. The seat is considerably more comfortable with the gel pads and even after leaving the bike under the sun at Stonehaven during the coffee break I couldn't find a difference in the temperature as I saw reported in Youtube by some fella from the US, maybe his behind is more sensitive The only thing I would have done differently is to have placed the pad slightly nearer to the front edge but it still works perfectly. The size of the gel pads is good enough to allow be seating on it regardless. I would recommend it to anyone wanting an inexpensive way to cushion their behind Total cost for me was under £35 for the gel pads 25X25X2cm; under £20 for the memory foam; You would need a £10 glue spray can; a stapler and the tools I described before. When I say inexpensive, I am comparing to the ones you strap onto the existing seat that cost around $150 + postage. Would I do it for someone? yes, isn't a complicated task and would take a couple hours once you have all the materials. Of course the price would vary depending on size and number of seats. -
Is that the only design? army camouflage style? I would order 2 if a different design, 1 with and another without the blonde
-
I get one of those at least once a month

If your bike has been considered as non recoverable and you are getting the money for it then it means that technically you're not the owner anymore. The caveat is that if the bike is recovered at some point in the future, depending on your T&C's, you may have to give the bike to the insurance company or return the money you received. As [mention]fastbob[/mention] says the fact that you are allowed to pay your insurance in monthly installments the premium is a annual payment. When you have monthly payments you would have contracted a loan for 12 months at a specified APR while your insurance company/broker will receive the money straight away. If the bike has been stolen you can say that you don't need the insurance anymore, for that you can just say that you're not buying another one. Check your T&C's to confirm that you would have a cancellation fee in case the bike is stolen. On the other hand you will be entitled to a refund of the remaining of the 12 months prorated. Worth while have a careful look at your policy documents before calling the broker. Insurance companies/brokers are well known to only pay if they don't have any other alternative and they will pay as little as they can.

How about that? After all I don't need to have the trailer inspected. This tweet followed a couple of questions I put to DVLA about how to register. Now, according to further information I found on DVLA and other gov.uk pages all trailers will need to have displayed the unladen weight so I still have to fit the VIN plate but with reduced information. I'll be adding the max allowed weight of 150kg whatever is the final unladen weight once it is finished and some more info that I can add there. Frame is finished and ready to be painted, black probably. Towing bar will need the final fit test, for that I'm waiting for the new bolts to fix it to the bike and the M16 bolts to fix the towball. Final task will be wiring the towbar and place a connector to the bike. All effort is now to the box. Finished the welding on the corners. Decided to recycle the parts I've cut and put it in the groves of the base so I will minimise the use of carbon cloth and resin. This won't have an structural impact as the carbon cloths will be placed flat both sides of the base.

You could put it in your pocket and have audio directions in your ears. I have a comms system so that works for me* *after like 2 hours finding the 'play directions over Bluetooth' setting in Google maps. Yes I could have. The problem was the mrs wanting to talk to me while I was listening to some sexy girl's voice.

The only problem I had was the phone overheating under the 38c in Spain while trying to use the sat-nav. Next trip will get a dedicated GPS device instead of frying the phone

This makes me less sad that my £12 waterproof phone holder got the zip damaged after 1 yr usage...

I'm planning on this trip in a couple of weeks . I did a similar trip but in 2 separate routes. Did the east coast on one and west on the second. The west coast journey I started from Lochgilphead and up to Oban, the road to the west of Lochgilphead is really nice with stunning views.

I understand why but the price would be a lot cheaper.

Have you tried www.Aliexpress.com or any other similar site?

Safety Gears for Motorbike
husoi replied to Sam_here's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Most of the time I use the ones you get at petrol stations but each individual will have its own circumstances. I would prefer to have sweaty hands than freezing wet ones with rain water. Last time I went very far I got rain from Oxford to Glasgow, the inner gloves were a result. -

Get a pack of disposable gloves too, In case of rain you just pop those under the normal gloves to keep your hands dry Similar to your feet, a pair of carrier bags if you notice the boots starting to soak. -
Can I nominate myself? Ordered a few new socket screws for the trailer project. Wiil need them to attached the towbar to the exhaust screws but because of the square tube I'll need them to be a bit longer. I found this nice website https://www.paigntontools.co.uk/ with a very decent price and allowing to order small quantities. Looked for: M8 X 60mm hex screws M6 X30mm hex screws washers to match both sizes in bags of 100 but very low cost bolts to suit Then found out they have polishing discs for the small grinder, Im going to need them when I finish the resin on the box of the trailer so better get them in. Why am I a nob? I hear you ask. Well, Because when I placed the order I didn't check it properly and today received the discs the washer, bolts and forgot to add the screws to the basket.
