Been doing my young friend a favour today.

If you got the cash get a Jacket and trousers with a Gortex liner. Near perfectly waterproof bu pretty spendy. I have a Richa textile jacket and trousers with a D3O or some list of letters like that liner and I have never got wet in it. My leather isn’t very waterproof at all neither are the two wax cotton jackets I have. Bike jeans obviously not. I also have single layer romper like rain suit Richa brand and that is a leaky bastard good at stopping wind though.

I didn’t mean that to come across as a pop at you. I probably worded it clumsily. Sorry

I don’t think there is a chance of hunting deer or boar replacing factory farming. There are just too many people on this planet. It’s not sustainable long term and the future will be unpleasant for the majority of life. I understand hunting for food but not for entertainment. Oh and I don’t like factory farming either but don’t claim to have an answer to feed 8 billion people. It’s one of those subjects most look away from. Doesn’t justify animal cruelty but there is no easy answer.

I work in rural Cornwall overnight, little to no street lighting for the majority of the roads. Good lights are important here. One big part of the reason I got rid of my Himalayan was the piss poor lights. I could make good use of the extra lighting on my CBF for my work commute. Although the lights are good as standard with legal LED bulbs more would be better. Not essential but better. The Hornet LED lights are also good but really only just adequate, could be improved.

Probably company policy to save fuel or something like that.

Yeah I have thought about that option, got a couple of links to get one just haven’t got around to it.

I know it’s GS Owner prices, those lights also need a Can bus adapter to work so that is another £170 on top of the £900. Very impressive lights nonetheless. I’ll wait for cheaper chinky clones to come on the market.

I think all HGV can do 60 mph now.

£900

Excellent lights but at a price

Pretty sure both mine would but it would be squeaky the first time.

I'm just soft when it comes to all living things, don't like to think of anything hurt for entertainment. Suppose I am hypocritical in one way as I eat animals but if I had to do the butchering I am pretty sure I wouldn't. Used to fish, to eat, when I was younger won't now.

Not in my opinion,

Lot of people call that sort of thing sport, bit like bull fighting across the border from you.

I was up and out early so most of them were just emerging when I was heading home. Only did 90 miles or so . Bike all washed and away now.

Chilly out first thing this morning. Chose silver this morning. Haven’t rode the Hornet for 3 weeks or so, sometimes I forget what a bloody good all rounder it is. I will get others but the Hornet is a bike for life for me I reckon.

Funnily enough pre season we used to play what we called 70’s football which was basically just kicking/tripping/elbowing the shit out of each other. Was a bloody hoot. Almost a relief to get back to rugby training after.

Never have I got football, cheating bunch of soft boys.

I binned it for that reason. When I first signed up it was £6 a month then just went up and up. I like following Premiership Rugby but I am just not willing to pay over £30 a month for it. I just watch what I can when I can now. Been enjoying the Women’s Rugby World Cup for the last few weeks.

I am already,

Not that far from the truth IMHO. I’ll be vaporised living just 26 miles from Devonport Naval Base. They will get a nuke for sure.

I’m working now until 8:00 am same Sunday into Monday. So mostly working and sleeping for me. Forecast to piss down tomorrow so no great loss to biking.

GOOD LUCK !
