Mississippi Bullfrog Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 My weather station is recorded a low of -19 overnight. I suspect that's a glitch. But it's dull and foggy right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

husoi Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Good morning everybody. Isn't this nice.... Received a very nice email from my workplace with tips about lockdown resilience. Just in time to the end of lockdown... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hi folks, the weather is seeming to get a bit warmer again for a few rides to break up the monotony of the day. Girlfriends dad broke down on a ride out last week, an old CBR600F3 which I'd got sorted for an MOT but found it had clearly been through some sort of hell. Either track use and a crash, or just a big crash, as the frame is slightly bent, and the fairings are held on with wood screws in some parts with the bodywork not being a standard colour. It wouldn't start after a run, so I figured the rec/reg had let go, it bump started and got home, but he charged it and went on a ride again this time getting stranded, I had told him to let me check it out first I've given him a cheeky offer to sell it to me so I can strip it right back and start again, so I might have a project bike again to keep me busy soon! Hope everyone else is doing well now that lockdown is lifting, having the gym and pubs back is a big plus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggie Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 @Steve_M Mine is what my wife's dad made himself many moons ago from an old gas bottle from work. When he died I was quick to claim it before it ended up being poached by one of his workmates or worse ending up in a skip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Got the oil lamp lit now as well. I'm quite enjoying myself out here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would look more appropriate on our patio than what we’ve bought. We’re going for a slightly industrial look with the things we’ve planted up (wheelbarrow, brazier, half a beer barrel) to go with the corrugated metal wall on the one side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Good Evening If/when we ever get the garage/garden finished some sort of brazier/chimenea thing is on the list I might see if I can get a bike shaped one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 First ride this morning in my summer riding jeans. They appear to have mysteriously shrunk during lockdown. They weren't that tight last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temporary solution is slacken belt and don`t fasten followed by a coffee and bacon sarnie then forget about it. Cheers Ian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
