It's not that difficult Pete, it means there's no chance of draining your battery by accident and makes a much better connection.
-
Jesus, that's a major failure

What do you expect, this gubberment is in hock to the money men, they're calling the shots.
-
No, it's hard-wired via a switched live fusebox.
-
I have my Garmin Montana hardwired but you can also use it (and I have done) with 3 x AA batteries, on the batteries it will last about 5 hours.

Your knees would be up around your ears, it's a very small bike.

Yes, my neighbour was like that. Fine on the first one apart from the sore arm but fecked on the second jab, in bed for two days. Personally I think all the jabs affect different peeps in different ways.

If there's one thing I really miss since loosing my leg it's swimming. I love swimming and i'll still swim in rivers and the sea but public pools are too much of a faff.

If that was a Ducati she'd be kissing the tarmac

I'm really glad I made the decision not to got to France this year, isolating in a hotel for seven days before you can do your trip is no fun at all.

Astra Zeneca works against the Indian strain according to the gubberment scientists but unless they clamp down on it I fear the June date of all restrictions lifted will be extended.

I like that as well Fred but it really needs a 19'' wheel on the front.
-
I like it as it goes with the quirkyness of the bike.

Fettling the Rally today, 2nd jab tomorrow, possible ride on Sunday, Monday (bank holiday) probably working .

Nice one Ian, that makes sense as they were fairly young.
-
I was a winger as well Ian, I rarely saw the ball though as both our centre's were greedy bastards so the ball never got out to me. Eventually I told the sports master I wasn't playing anymore as I wasn't in the game, he moved me to flanker where I got hammered in every scrum

I'd say it's happiest at 50-55mph

I back-tracked a couple of miles and then continued towards Corsham, on the way I spotted some of Fred's mates so I stopped to say hello.............. I have no idea why this dude had a big ring through his nose, I don't think he was a bull and the ring didn't look like one they use to lead the bull around, anyone got any idea what that's all about ? Further up the road I stopped at a country store for a sandwich and a coffee, they had a grass air-strip next to the place ............... Now I was heading back towards home but stopped in Biddestone as it's a lovely village with a cool duck pond............... The last stop was at Castle Coombe race circuit where there was a track day for cars. Only 66 miles were done but it was really enjoyable and not one drop of mud

So as we got some sun as last it was time to take my Van Van for it's first ride . It wasn't going to be a long way and I certainly wasn't going to take it on any trails as it's far too clean for that malarkey. It took me over an hour to get used to the power (or lack of it ) , it was mainly noticeable going up hills and involved a lot of dancing on the gear lever but once I got used to it I really enjoyed the ride. So out around the back of Bath and over to Norton St Phillip and then down to Farleigh Hungerford to stop and have a nosey at the castle.......... From there I took the road to Bradford-on-Avon and stopped to see what was going on at the canal wharf.................. From there I rode through the town and headed for Corsham but on route I remembered that Great Chalfield Manor was nearby so I detoured to get a photo........... Gt. Chalfield is a 15th century manor house with superb gardens to walk around, well worth a visit if you're in the area. I like the road that leads down to it as well......

I imagine that's the last time you held a rugby ball

Absolute top job imo

You're going to the hospital in Granada ? you'll probably bring back the plague

After Moon's recent mishap I think we should have a thread for bikes having a nap, or death and dismemberment as Pete would refer to it. I'll start as I have hundreds of 'em
