Cupid Stunt

It wasn't a "Jam sandwich" it was older than that, all blue old shape Rover 3.5, 1974

Yeah, apparently it still has to be taxed but at £0, no records now so I'd guess it has been scrapped for a very long time However the police car that used to stop us all the time as kids is still on record SMP619M it was a 3.5 rover

No idea mate, I would seriously doubt it Can't check it like modern vehicles as if it still existed it would be classed as an historical vehicle and exempt from MOT and Tax

My Dad's Lambretta, bought in 1955 for £155 plus 7/6p tax He kept it until 1973, Pete would never have a bike that long

Bomb squad called to A&E when man came into hospital with WWII explosive stuck in his rectum He claimed that he fell on it https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/bomb-squad-rushed-ae-after-22354925?utm_source=linkCopy&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar

Damn it storm Arwen This bloody storm has knocked my garden waste bin over, God only knows what would have happened if it had something in it I had to walk all the way out there to set it upright Better not be another one next year

Ahhh the beauty of satnav as I used to say to you before then, it doesn't stop you venturing it does the opposite allowing you to follow your nose until you're totally lost then switch it on and get back easily You'll have to go back there now

Have you ridden the A-319 North west of you yet Pete? Looks like a stunning road and scenery

Well having said in another thread that drones are useless for spying as the cameras are ultra wide angle and even people fairly close are unrecognisable Well, not if it's me building one LOL, back in 2015 I decided to play around with some tech (as I do) and put a 10 x zoom camera onto a purpose built (by me) multirotor (drone) so if I could get stable video without too much shake I also tried a 30 x zoom camera but it was too shaky when zoomed in

Last time I rode to North Wales I refused to take any main road, it was pissing down all the way and it took me 6 hours Coming back over the mountains in gale force winds was an interesting experience, bike at 25 degrees tilt (no kidding) and the rain coming up vertically into my helmet, shitting my pants getting thrown all over the road, they're memories and stories to tell later in life, I can't remember the rides where it was all pleasant and nothing interesting happened

I don't understand why someone wouldn't want to do that No such thing as the wrong weather, just the wrong clothing. It's about scenery, adventure and kudos Yes, camping and eating tinned breakfast wears thin pretty quickly but with experience you stop eating that shit, take the proper gear and cook up your own eggs and bacon They're riding through woodlands and terrain that dates back to the ice age, the feeling of being in places like that is unique, calming and inspiring

They're impractical really, even the auto mix bikes like the CRM, you can't always trust the mix and they use nearly twice as much fuel so you can't have a route that doesn't include nearby fuel stops They are great fun and give max power for minimum weight, my GasGas EC300 was a monster on power, I got it up to nearly 80mph over the rocks on Sarn Helen coming back down towards the gate :), it's capable of higher speeds not not with me on it over rocks , my two CRM's were awesome too and I remember my old RD250LC was quite a beast in it's day

All the best enduro riders started out doing Trials, David Knight, Graham Jarvis and many others MX riders simply cannot handle the gnarly stuff, been out with a few and they always head for the nearest fire road to get them home by mid morning LOL

....now we know eh

Just saying

Hey Yen This video has the planes in I was on about Funny, typical old school East End Brits, three piece suits on the beach sunbathing LOL

More like the English spent their earlier lives grafting whereas the Welsh spent it sat on the sofa watching Twp Turpin and masturbating

Trains, planes, scooter and automobiles Just use the menu on Google maps and select "timeline", from there you can select dates/years

Just noticed there quite a few missing off my map, like Geneva and Bruges, must have had location services turned off

This is where I've been

Very freaky but on this occasion quite useful A while back I found out that the assistants on phones like Google Assistant when enabled are constantly listening to what you say, it is computer analized and you are fed adverts based on what it decides you're currently interested in. Don't believe me then do what I did when I was curious, whilst driving around in my car I would talk out loud to myself saying lots of things about dogs, dog food dog's lead, dog collar etc etc (I don't have a dog). Get home open my browser and go to Facebook and like magic there were adverts for dog food on the right column, freaky. So, the last few days we've had an issue with our boiler, it's losing pressure and we have to keep topping it up, pain in the ass as when the pressure drops the boiler won't fire up on the timer. I haven't searched google or Youtube for anything about it and yet this morning I go onto Youtube and there are several videos right in front of me on how to deal with low pressure on a boiler It turned out to point me in the exact right direction to diagnose the problem Seriously activate the assistant on your phone and test it out, it's scary and freaky but sometimes useful

Oh fuck me, we've now got our very own snowflake thread

Muppet, you have correct hub types fitted to the old rims

You could have bought a used Caponord used the wheels and thrown the rest away and still saved £500
