No it wasn't Biker pics,  the banner had a long web name that I can't remember and googling hasn't brought up many alternatives to jog my memory.

Does any one know who the photographer was on The Snake pass on Saturday afternoon 11th?

I saw his banner but forgot who he was.

Had a phone call once from a coworker on my night off. Boss was away on holiday.

 

"Do you know anything about plumbing?, A pipe has burst in the prep room."

 

I said I'd come straight down. When I got there he hadn't even turned the water off

Thankfully the prep room is a cellar with a drain in the middle of the floor so we didn't have a flood. It was a hot water pipe that burst though so it had become a steam room by time I got there

 

Anyway what makes this kind of relevant to the thread is that he had tried to fix the leak...........by using sellotape

 

What an idiot! 

As every cowboy plumber knows,  you should use 'masking' tape

Why not sleeve the axle up to 16 or 20mm?

That's an excellent write up.

It makes me want to buy a Bandit so that I can mod it.

Just done a 70 mile ride around the glorious Peak District.  Lovely day to be out on the bike.  Not many other bikers though.

That was you then, I wondered who it was

Thinking ahead, as the weather forecast for next Friday is currently looking decent I might organise a bimble into Derbyshire. The Grindleford Station Cafe looks worth investigating.

Providing we're still allowed out of course.

Anyone know if it's worth the visit?

The cafe is cheap with decent food, bit run down, but we've not been disappointed.

It can get a bit hot and steamy in there with all the fires on, when its full.

I booked an hour and a half lesson before my mod 1 to practice on the MT07 as it was very different to the 125cc innova that I was riding at the time.

It was money well spent, I passed easily.

Tractors.

Over trousers don't last long is you hit a tractor

Technical I did nothing to the bike.

But I did move a shelf and wall mounted draws so that I don't have to remove the top box base plate every time I put it away.

I might have too much in my garage.

I don't care how deep the water is, I don't fancy a fall from the top

That looks an interesting place to climb, where is it?

Welcome! A fellow climber I see? Biulder/sport/trad? Please don't say speed.

Hi thanks for the welcome

I climb sport everywhere and via ferrata in the Alps and Pyrenees.

The Honda is to access climbs that are too difficult to get to in the camper, we're getting too old to walk in with all the gear and still climb.

Hi

I have only had my A licence for a year, I have two bikes, a Honda Innova 125i for the back of the camper and a Suzuki GS500 to justify getting my A licence.
