Dang, I got some catching up to do Did you say something about binning your sons bike or was that someone else?

Bet you binned more bikes and bounced down the road more times than I have by a country mile. Sorry about your phone

Dusk til Dawn cos the boys have never seen it. Bit crappier than I remember it!

as I suspected.

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

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

You forgot to tag Pete, it’s an educational post for some you know

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

Did I mention I’ve moved?

More nutbags than on this forum

Must have been the FPM survival plan- Be too big to fit in top box

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.

Very slowly catchy monkey

Fibber you’re a massive drama tart.

Right I gotta go. Lorry arriving in 10 mins and I have to be about.

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

Nope not until Pete signs a legally binding I won’t be a dickhead clause

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

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.

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!

Been busy sorting out Christmas this morning (yes I mentioned Christmas in September shoot me) and for the first time in decades I'm doing something different. This year we're having two Christmas' (yep greeeedy) one in Spain where we'll all fly out on the 17th Dec and then return just in time for the real deal which we're having at the boys place. I've booked a nice restaurant just across the road from where they live so not a lot of cooking (on that day anyway) and then we'll return back home Boxing Day and resume the traditional stuff. The flights are booked, the hire car's booked, the kennels are booked, a pop up Christmas tree for Spain is ordered and tbh I'm so excited (and a little bit nervous) to be doing something other than the usual slog that I've got mild butterflies

Phew, that got a bit worrying for a minute or two.

I’m not getting drawn into yet another “the youth of today don’t know they’re born” conversation.

The homeless figures for Bristol have been reasonably static for the last three years, but I imagine it’s worse since that was made in 2015
