So what's your cargo/destination ?? 4 months seems to be a long time between ports, or is that normal?

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Ow. Grit hurts when you pass a gritter going like the proverbial bat out of hell. (The proverbial airborne mammal was me, not the gritter.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cargo ( WTI crude oil) destination is Indonesia which is a bit like coals to Newcastle. I'll be doing much more than one port but which I don't yet know. 4 months is my nominal tour of duty, may be more, may be less.

So the 4 months is you personally, not the ship, now it makes more sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Do speed vans only work out of the hatch at the back, or do they have a camera through the front windscreen as well? Asking for a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking for a friend. I wondered about this too. When I looked into it, many of them had front facing cameras as well.

Aot of these liability solicitors are trainees cutting their teeth and not the best at that. Hope you get it sorted and some form of replacement soon.

Might even plan a trip abroad on this for now, not taking nothing away from the MT, it's a very capable bike with very little room, especially with a lump like me on it . The unfortunate thing was, I was actually sat on the bike at the time Edited December 7, 2022 by Pie man 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I woke up for another day. The unfortunate eastern European van driver trying to make a living delivering parcels while under the influence of drugs was not so lucky, arrested at Scene and carted off, the silly part is, the kind lady who let me store my bike in her garage until it was recovered was waiting for a parcel to be delivered, the van was parked on her drive until it was taken for drugs wipe or something. I do wonder if she ever got her parcel 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
