Now recovering with a warming cuppa. We had a bracing 5 miles this morning. No snow but ground like iron (plus - no mud!) with a killer wind. Definitely needed thawing when I got home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U bend has imperceptible crack that only leaks when the machines emptying. Just standing water is not enough to cause it to leak so I didn’t detect it when I examined it. Very expensive new machine could have been avoided for the sake of replacing a £5 unbend. What a prat. My only defence is no-one else found it either the washing machine people certainly wouldn't have told you, they wanted you to spend big wonga on a new machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the missus went out yesterday. -8 and a cruel wind. We did 5 miles round the fields. I was very glad of my TMBF buff. (Note the subtle product placement there.)

Hence me saying that a metal shed could be a solution. Not everybody have the space for a garage, or know how to build one or even can afford one. A metal shed is a cheaper alternative, slightly more expensive than wooden shed, and far more safer than just leave the bike to the elements.

Nowhere to put a metal shed .... there is no access for a motorbike through the house to the back garden so it lives with a U lock and and a Oxford chain and lock under a heavy duty, padded waterproof cover ... It has been there for over 2 years now .... to nick it you would have to use a crane to lift it over the Transit, the motorhome and the Aygo. Oh.. and move the wheelie bins, both of which have motion sensor alarms fitted .... Edited February 13, 2021 by Trooper74 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
