  1. The direction of the rocking motion can make a big difference when lying flat. Side to side (ie you feel your being rocked from side to side) is easier than top to bottom (ie when you feel the motion moving from your feet to your head) so altering the way you’re led can help a lot. Unfortunately sometimes that means lying on the floor if your bed is with the waves rather than across them.
  2. Yes Pete thats exactly it
  3. You want to see my father in-laws shed. He went to town on it. He said he was going to build himself a little shed. It’s about 6000 square foot I kid you not. My MIL is urr how do I politely say a total cowbag? So in his ‘shed’ he has a warehouse heater, a sofa, a TV and a full sized kitchen along with his classic tractors and some vehicles he doesn’t drive but likes to look at. He even put in a road so it was too far away from everyone else for them to just pop in Wise man. I have my bikes, a sofa and a fridge in my garage and a room within it with a large workbench, underfloor heating, a kettle, nice chair where I faff about making bits n bobs. Time and space to yourself away from your loved ones is priceless. Go large @Saul, even if it’s just two cheap jobbies joined together. The trees were deliberately planted so it will eventually be hidden.
  4. Sometimes its better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.
  5. I see someone’s been overdosing on the charm pills again I’d go bigger, run electricity to it and put a dehumidifier in there.. and a heater and sofa and a beer fridge and a tv. You’ve waited too long to go half measures on it.
  6. Tokenism and a lack of skill or knowledge is annoying no matter where it turns up which is what you’re hacked off with, saying women shouldn’t commentate on mens football full stop is just stupid and detracts from what would otherwise be a valid point. I doubt if a good quality female ex footballer was commentating you would have had anything to say about it.
  7. Dusk til Dawn cos the boys have never seen it. Bit crappier than I remember it!
  8. I cut up a bit of inner tube the same width as the clamp and wind it around until I get to the right thickness, it doesn't really show, acts as a vibration dampener and stops the bars from getting marked, which only matters a bit if you want to sell it and the accessories you remove leave ugly marks. Or if you care about vibrations quad lock make a dedicated vibration dampener for about £15 @Saul I never had a problem with any iPhones image stabilisation being damaged until I got to iPhone 13 and then sure enough it was suddenly f*cked! At least I now have a dedicated satnav phone
  9. Bollocks. I really should have watched the product pages YouTube tutorial strongly advising not to over sand BEFORE spending so long sanding down a dining table to a 400 grit. That's it I'm going to watch telly and see if I start caring about the end result again at some point
  10. Just finished a full English brekky cooked by my son, the thick slices of boudin noir were excellent but now I need a lie down for at least an hour to assimilate the behemoth
  11. Must have been the FPM survival plan- Be too big to fit in top box
  12. Mr Slowly has quadlock on one bike and ‘Peak Design’ (very highly rated quadlock type thing) on another and they're both good. The adapters that stick to your phone don’t feel that secure, they cannot be put on silicone cases. Mr Slowly used the quadlock adapter on his case for one trip and bought the dedicated case. The support bracket is a standard ram mount.
  13. Fibber you’re a massive drama tart.
  14. Right I gotta go. Lorry arriving in 10 mins and I have to be about.
  15. Thats cos Six used to be able to use his personality to keep people away, then he joined here and discovered a raft of piss taking fuck ups. Then in-spite of himself started to enjoy their company, try as he might to piss everyone off out of it he’s addicted to the magnetic personalities and quite horrifyingly finds himself engaging in other peoples lives. Poor bloke
  16. Nope not until Pete signs a legally binding I won’t be a dickhead clause
  17. Sorry I need better assurances I won’t have to endure the usual bollox before I share the latest battery fiasco. Like not blaming the feckin bike, which it turns out has done a stella job
  18. So do you want to hear the latest battery saga on the Himalayan? Im only telling if Pete can control his third world bashing tendencies cos it has nothing to do with the bike.
  19. That’s cos Navidad goes on for feckin ever in Spain. In the UK the madness is contained to a much shorter space of time preceded by nothing and followed by nothing save a minor blip of a holiday at Easter, in Spain it’s just the next lot of excuses used to run a continual fiesta/siesta Still now I’ve found the supermarket run by the chinese party poopers I don’t have to concern myself with the constant shutting down, they work all the hours god sends!
