Errr dunno. Not sure how long I've been posting for. But, insurance is expensive nowadays, that's like 80% of what people care about

I joined back in 2009, been off 2 wheels for a while but just picked up a heap of junk to get back out on the road. Everything's too expensive these days. Is it still the same people running this forum? Good to see its still going

New members? Hello! .

welcome back to two wheels.

A few missing through one means or another.
 

Helmets and clothing has gotten alot better.

Prices gone up on Fuel, bikes, tyres, insurance, parts etc.

Chinese stuff ( bike market manufacturer's) has grown in numbers, gotten abit better but not that much cheaper to buy.

 

A few members have been putting on good project threads up recently for winter reading! Might give ideas and hints?

Jesus! theres a blast from the past 

 

Yes you have missed loads! 

 

Nothing to worry about though  

[bonio]

The big change is, Stu finally gave us a like button.

[mealexme]

They got rid of the chat function too.

That's all I can remember. I can't even remember what it used to look like now

[rennie]

Proper blast from the past! I'm still here 

Welcome back

Which ones???

Tunnocks caramels come out as front runner. With Jaffa cakes* running a close second. 

 

*Technically not a biscuit, the defining factor being that when left to go stale a biscuit goes soft whereas a cake goes hard. (Not that Jaffa cakes have ever lasted long enough to go stale round here.)

 

Jammy Dodgers also feature.

 

Rich Tea biscuits are not in favour. 

 

Discussion of Garibaldi biscuits is banned as it leads to acts of physical violence and people falling out.

So my main life changing issue "Where have all the ginger creams gone"  since moving up Norf, finding a regular, dependable supply has been a constant challenge, and one I am not winning!

[bonio]

Life can be tough, mate.

Welcome back!

 

Forum has changed a lot. A lot of people have come and gone, with one or two flounces that I always seem to miss  

 

I think the last time I saw you was on a ride out with Phil Young around 2014? I was on a blue FZ6 then, waiting for my insurance to go down after a pair of CBR600s got pinched. Now on an SV650 as I spend most of my money on projects. What old bike have you picked up?

When we had an extension built Mrs JRH got biscuits etc in for the builders to have at tea breaks, one packet was Garibaldi. By the time the extension was finished after 4 months. The Garabaldi pack had not been started.

Mate I wouldn't have finished your extension if you got me Garibaldi's.

The builder “was” a friend. (He still is)

Other biscuits were provided so I wasn’t surprised. I did say why have you bought those.

Anyway the hobnobs, Chocky digestives etc were all rapidly consumed. Cost a small fortune in tea coffe milk and biscuits
