Try the Sevenoaks tip. People drive there in Porsche cayennes or other stupidly expensive 4x4s and dump loads of virtually brand new stuff. It's disgusting to see what people throw away.

What about the cars that sit in the left lane, until you come up behind them, they move over to let you pass, and then back into the left lane again!! I have seen that so many times and have no idea what these people are thinking. What frustrates me is that it's idiot drivers crashing all the time that are pushing the speed limits down. It's not speed that kills, it's drivers complete lack of driving ability that ruins it for the rest of us.

On the bike, they get 10seconds to move over, else I take them on the inside. Justification being that they are clearly crap unobservant, inconsiderate drivers and being exposed on a bike i want to get as much distance from them as possible. In the car I wait a bit longer as it's slower to pass them in a car so the chances if being side swiped is higher.

Tracking allows Google and other advertisers to better target users with adverts. People don't like adverts, but adverts produce the revenue that keeps the internet free to use. Pretty sure most would rather see a few adverts than have to pay to access the internet.

i have Strada 7 racing levers on mine. Not cheap but had matching suspension adjusters so couldn't resist. http://www.strada7racing.com/images/Carbon_Fiber_Levers/Short/Strada-7-Racing_Short_Carbon_Fiber_3D_Levers_Black_1.JPG here on my bike:

Don't think I was, I was crawling along playing with my Bluetooth. If I was it wouldn't have been by much. I think the car was waiting for me to nail it after passing the van. If I'd been speeding I would have thought he'd have pulled me there and then? Or maybe I was speeding and they sent the car to get me, but because I was driving slowly they let me off? Who knows. My licence has been clean for too long anyway...

Anyone get busted by the camera van that was parked up the road from the pub? I left at 10am and turned left.. about half a mile up the road there was a camera van. As I went past a police car appeared behind me at a distance that made it hard to tell it was a police car... so I had a police escort for the next 3 or 4 miles until he turned around and went back supposedly to follow the next bike.. Cheeky buggers.

Joeman checking in... Awesome weekend

Lol, no I'm still alive... But my bloody bike battery died when I stopped to fill up with petrol. Lucky there was a halfords next door so bought a new one and now well on my way to the rally.

strange thing happened to me tonight... I was out in the garage, sorting stuff out for the rally. This little voice popped into my head and said "Tonight is your last night on earth".. no idea where that thought came from, but I didn't think much of it. I got back into the house, switched on my laptop, and a reminder popped up to remind me that tomorrow is the anniversary of my uncle's death - my uncle with the exact same name as me! So im writing this down on the internet just in case something does actually happen to me tomorrow... hopefully that would freak few of you out that the little voice predicted my demise - think of it as my leaving gift....

If you make a habit of restoring bikes you should setup your own blog site to document every bike. That would be really cool to see and be a great selling point as people would know youre serious about restoration and don't cut corners... We can all tell it's going to be immaculate before you finish just by looking at the state of your lawn and flowerbeds!

Is Megawatt in your area? Hes handy with a welder..

Fill then with distilled water mixed with orange squash. It keeps the rims cool, which helps improves braking, and makes it obvious when you get a puncture as you get orange jets of liquid squirting out... Has to be sugar free otherwise it will attract the ants.

make some YouTube vids and make some cash from the advertising.

you need to start a twitter account and advertise your services as you move about. i bet there are loads of people who would benefit from a cheap tuneup

Forecast for here and Buxton doesn't look too bad at the moment........maybe an odd shower on Friday, but Saturday and Sunday look ok...... So, big question.. Leathers or waterproofs?

If the weather continues like this, im bringing the car...

Need a swear jar for anyone who mentions Pokemon to put cash in and buy the rest of us beer.

Sounds like you're trying to get the clutch out too fast. Don't let it all the way out until you're moving at a speed to match your revs.

bring it on!! if the spooky buggers come near me, i'm drawing cat whiskers on them!!

a few weeks ago, late at night, I was bored with my laptop so i decided to find out who used to live in my house. my house was built around 1928, so over the years many people have likely lived here. I managed to find a reference to my house on the 1939 register and looked up the occupants name.. Turns out it was a woman call Jane Booth who was born in 1886. I then thought, i bet nobody has said her name in this house in many decades, so I said it out loud... then again.... but then i remembered that film "Beetlejuice" where if you say his name three times he'll appear.... that freaked me out a little, so i shut the laptop and went to bed. Ive never seen a ghost in this house, but the garage has mysteriously locked itself with me inside before. that was very strange as i had the key in my pocket - i really cant explain how that happened

Hope we get a ghostly legion of Roman soldiers come marching through the TMBF campsite at the weekend! Or a headless horseman.. that would be good.

What colour are we getting??
