    Going for the abandoned look ay, trying for Petes vote?

    Flight radar shows the plane is LANDING. Just an hour or so more!

    I haven’t seen a pump that connects to your bike with a pressure gauge. Do they exist?

    Still having to do the job anyway Pete?

    I did think that Then I thought NOCO should make a plug one in for their jumpstarter. One battery pack that does everything, jumpstarts, inflates tyres, charges your phone/laptop etc etc And maybe a connector that allows you to leave it plugged into the bike and auto charges only when the bikes running.

    Fair enough. I like being able to turn up at airport parking do the tyres and leave, no wasting time checking the pressures and then having to go to garage to find air and when moving on everyday it’s a relief to not have to add finding air to the job list. I suppose I consider its ability to fully inflate a flat not its primary purpose and won’t be fussed when it conks out. Where as that other compressor is more an emergency tool. I don’t want to carry both.

    Well you’ve fulfilled your election pledge of being a hands off mod

    You can dream.

    When did the rules change that you can’t change your pic? What if you take a corker after you submitted one but its still in this month? Kinda takes some of the fun out of it if people can’t switch photos halfway through a race. The vote swapping and people changing their mind about what photo they want to put forward is where the humour is. And a ban for multiple bike submissions? Bit much. You can just say oi you only one photo, pick one. Got your special constable pants on a bit?

    Knew it wouldn’t be long before one of you sex obsessed loons moved onto that.

    I have no doubt it will have a limited lifespan (all the reviews for these things say as much) but it gets used so I’ll know when it’s on its way out and for the convenience the £27 it price is worth it.

    As someone who never bothered much with tyre pressure I learnt the hard way that it makes a difference to the stability on corners/roundabouts etc. particularly with a fully loaded bike. Very low tyre pressure feels like riding on jelly and properly inflated feels planted. Maybe you might not notice so much because all your off roading makes that unstable feeling second nature and your natural balance compensates, if they are too low I feel the difference. At speed it’s the difference between enjoying a corner and backing off because the bike doesn’t feel right. It used to be only when that happened I’d eventually think what’s going on with the bike it doesn’t feel… doh

    Happy Sunday Peace and quiet finishes today as Mr Slowly is arriving I seem to have managed to spread stuff over both his desk and mine so might have to have a look at that We’re both excited which is mad after over 30 years together but it’s been two weeks which suddenly seems like a very long time.

    Still have the inconvenience of finding and stopping to inflate. Thats the bit that gets very boring when you’re so tired after days n days in a row. Have a trusty old tyre pressure gauge, still love it but all it told me is ok you’re fine to go or worse you’re not so go find something else to do the inflating.

    Garage tire inflators are also woefully inaccurate. Days and days on the road not in 4 star surroundings finding and paying for air becomes very tiresome.

    Jeeeesus Christ @Pedro the olds have conked out AGAIN. We have to get some livelier souls involved
  18. Slowlycatchymonkey
    I am aware of that. As they age they have a tendency to over heat too But I have no intention of carrying two lumpy things and riding with (close) to the right pressure is generally more of a concern. If you carry a tubeless repair kit then one inflation should get you to safety. Or at least give enough time to recharge from a usb.
  19. Slowlycatchymonkey
    Sounds awesome. I wouldn’t waste it on them.
  20. Slowlycatchymonkey
    My thoughts exactly.
  21. Slowlycatchymonkey
    Yep you are Basic maintenance on appliances, devices and batteries. Stick it on your calendar set an alert and plug it in. Or add it to the check it’s charged before you leave list. Thats my preference.
  22. Slowlycatchymonkey
    I completely agree, it’s just plain wrong! I have made lasagne with it. More than one iteration. I’ve said nothing so they’re no aware of what they don’t like, left long gaps before having another go but no, they have an aubergine radar that says NO Some people are sensitive to alkaloids and aubergine has a few so thats all I can think is skewing things. Solanine is a thing apparently. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t tried to sneak so many delicious variations past them They’re no tomato lover either

    It charges from a usb (ie your battery) and so far it’s held its charge absurdly well. Charged once in over 6 months but used an estimated 5-7 times. Although I should add somehow neither bikes had lost much pressure so it only had a few psi to do on each each time.
  24. Slowlycatchymonkey
    I love this but I am the only one in my family that does which is disappointing so I don’t make it. With aubergine I even tried the old trick of salt and batter on the veg round the table Teppanyaki table. I even tried peeling it first but they just genuinely don’t like aubergine. Philistines. They’re everywhere.

    Ok no sterling pound coins available. Looks like my wallet is almost fully euro A fiver is all I have for comparison but you get the idea. It’s smaller than a five pound note but bigger than 5 euros. Obviously the depth is missing but you can kind of get that from the pics.
