Cheesy (sort of it’s curds) n chips with gravy. Marcels is a posh version. Cheese (cheddar) n chips n gravy is eaten in the UK too. Usually after midnight by people tipping out of the pub https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine

Click n collect mate click n collect. There’s a locker with your number on it waiting for you to pick it up on the way to/from work

The word permit for driving isn’t known here apart from things like a ‘parking permit’ which you are allocated or buy to be allowed to park in a certain place. Points for bad parking? Hell no just a fine. Did your dad not take the points as he was driving?!

Is a permit a driving license and if it is then how does parking badly effect it? How does it work?

Something that the mere description of could make you ill

Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it Are you wearing waterproof trousers over the top? They make a difference. And eBay (soz know you’re trying to stay off that site ) sell cheap fleece lined waterproof trousers. Payed about £15 for mine, very feckin warm.

I wouldn’t presume to tell you anything. I can ask for an instruction manual if you like?

You can tell his little girl and his wife.. who he’s still married to. Ooo does that sting

Nope. What word? Nothing to see here. Move on.

Melted the last pair.

Ah shite you had to go n bring that up. Hang on I’m going to get my darkest sunglasses.

Hang around here for too long needing to wash is a given

Hmm so in the uk that’s about 4-6 weeks a year. I used to agree but changed my view after waiting for good weather, that just didn’t happen for way too long. Eventually I sorted out good warm gear that took little time to add and decided the peace and happiness motorcycling brings was worth the few extra minutes suiting up and stripping off.

And definitely don’t Google ‘furry hand muff’ because you have a natty Victorian style wool cape that would look well with a traditional hand muff. Where your mind is when you type that into a search engine and where the resulting images will take you could scar you for life. Probably.. maybe.. just something I heard…

Looking good though eh?! I’m a seriously frozone person so I tried a cabillion bits of bike attire promising warmth that really didn’t deliver. I heartily recommend snowmobile suits. Designed for superfeckin freezin temps. If you get the right sort they’re waterproof too. But they’re expensive and the second choice coming in waaaay cheaper (but does need waterproofs over the top in rainy weather) is coldstore work gear. Designed to be worn in sub zero freezers all day available cheap in all sorts of combos. Easy to get over a mobike jacket - assuming your not 5XL.

Oh the accessories, the accessories, hard not to have your head turned by the accessories

I find the mudguard pretty good at stopping detritus getting flung up over the back. Maybe wait n see how you find what you’ve already got? But don’t wait til your can’t undo mud caked bags before ordering

Well like all vehicles especially electric that very much depends how you ride it. It says 146 miles. I took it out recently and had as much fun as I could on it without breaking my Kermit arms or myself and after one n half hours I had about 35% charge left which was plenty to get home. -

If electric vehicles don’t go the same way as Betamax video (entirely possible, hydrogen looks good) then that what I thought too. -

Well 2years of reasonable hp payments (hate that sort of thing but it was a good deal) then you choose at the end of just two years whether you want to continue or they’ll buy it back guaranteed price - no less than 2k you payed for it. Fully warranted for the period (including battery). They clearly wanted shot of it. It’s a 2020. They needed to make way for the new unbranded Livewire (will no longer carry Harley badge cos they’re splitting it off). Tbh I thought it was cheap thrills for a couple of years. Now I can’t see parting with it. -
