I'll see your snow on the hills 100 miles away and raise you some dirt and water touching the tyres LOL

It's 11 weeks since the op......and I waited 9 months to have it! So it's taken a year for me to get back to having a normal size groin again! Word of advice to you lot.....don't take normal size groins for granted! Look after them! They can be taken away from you! Just to add......pics of the aforementioned normal size groin are available if required!

Well the good news for all of you is that I'm still here although sometimes I feel a bit like this chap.

So it's the shell suit of forums then

Mines never gone down to what it should be.

I can't fault what I had done! It feels like I never had a Hernia now. And what has surprised me is I haven't lost any of my flexibility.......which as you know was considerably more than most men of any age.

As far as bike reviews go, I'd put more faith in something that is reviewed by proper bike reviewers. My favourites are: Nathan the Postman, Ian @ Big Rock Moto and Ben @ Dork on the Road. They put bikes through their paces and don't hold back! Big Rock Moto and Dork on the Road have both bought 750 Transalps and have been modifying them for more off-road ability. Both admit that the standard bike is a long way from serious off-road capable, but is a good platform to start from. I'm interested in seeing their modifications and ongoing reviews of the bike.

Photoshop!

Bear in mind that stock chains on most bikes are now of very poor quality compared to before or aftermarket brands. I like that you pump the thing before riding. Scottoiler is a smart thing but depends on the oil's fluidity to adjust flow. It´ll flow a lot more in summer if you don't adjust it. I learned that when fitting a scottoiler to my Transalp and stashing the reservoir nice and out of sight under the seat. As soon as it got up in temperature from the engine heat on a longer ride it emptied all of the oil in 10 minutes and flung it all over the back of the bike, the back of my jeans and jacket. Cool stuff!

Well a year and a bit later I got around to fitting my Loobman. It went on easy enough and seems to work as intended but I suppose only time will tell as to how effective it is. I managed to tuck it away so it’s not very visible. The idea is you press down the plunger on the oil reservoir before you ride for 10 seconds and that releases a measure of oil the drips onto the sprocket and eventually the chain while you ride. It was developed by three guys working as despatch riders. Apparently. I like the idea of it better than the Scottoiler which is bloody expensive and either has to be wired in or connected to the engine induction vacuum. I don’t want to spend £250 to £300 for that. I quite liked the idea of the Tutoro chain oilers which are simple and only release oil when the bike is moving and the suspension is moving. Still a bit dearer at around £100 but they look good to me I may buy one in the future, depending on how I get along with the Loobman. Reservoir under the back seat.

For the 1st 10 years that we lived here we had no mould anywhere in the bungalow ,then around 2 years ago it just exploded everywhere.

He is here now, it's gonna keep him busy treating the mould for a couple of hours, the place is like a swamp.

Iam sat waiting for mould eradication team to come and do their thing.......should have been here at 8am.....10.30 and no sign of them........i could have stayed in bed.

Got the bike out wanting to take some scenery pictures, ended up at the Dainese store buying a Summer Jacket I still took some pictures, but at the door at my house

Normally those mould things last for a good few years!

Does that keep happening all the time Clive?

I never said either of them flounced! Bruce left cos Buck and Tym called him names (Flouncing Bloater I think it was).....and last I heard Slowly had family issues. But she hasn't posted for 3 months now......so I'm not sure if she will be back.

Let it go man ...you got banned , get over it for fuck sake

But you told me in strict confidence that you were missing his posting of his recovery pics

Did you.... when? You've never brought that up before. Any pics

Not too good when I had my Hernia! Did I mention that I had a Hernia operation?
