I still like the Mash, unfortunately the finish seems crap and I live near the sea. The reason I think the Goldstar would be a good bike for you is it is very much a bike for cardigan wearers.

If I am honest I like the look of the Mash as well but live near the sea also so am a bit dubious for the same reasons.  I don't own a cardigan I am more into fleeces

perhaps you could advise me where to source a good one

It seems to be a thing with Dacia,s

Where my daughter works they have a Duster (67 reg),a while ago it refused to start, took it to local auto electrician he had no joy with it..they fitted a new UCH module.... programmed a new key to the new ECU, still won't start, so they are going to scrap it!.....  

That's a bit of an overreaction on a 67 plate car.  Can't they get a decent specialist to look at it first or even sell it as a non runner in the auction, surely they would get more than scrap value.

That would be a good bike for you.

You are full of yap for someone who was waxing lyrically about getting a Mash not so long ago 

Taking a new BSA Gold star out for a test ride on Saturday

A blackbird..... don't let you're Mrs know.

I'd bet chloe would be more at home and comfortable on a busa.

Prolly best for Chloe to get the CBT out of the way first

Just disconnect the battery when your not using the scoot.
I was going to say take it off and keep it in the house where it's warm but thought better of it

You need to get a nice busa.....

Come on you know if I were in the market for a silly hyper bike it would be a Blackbird . 

The reason I asked Chloe about a cruiser was because of the 5' 1"  thing, I thought the low seat height would work for her.   Apparently not 

Happy Birthday Pete,

I had one with the floppy disk drive too! It has long since disappeared. 

I was Billy big bollocks and sprung for the 20Mb Hdd for my Amiga.

An old V-Strom 650? Cheap as chips.

Bit tall and top heavy for me.

She is probably hoping you will get something other than a Honda to offset the gay.

You forget she already has a Honda.  She also thinks all cruisers are for pussies, she told me today.

You need a nice Transalp you do!

I do but couldn't pay for it.    I want to keep the Hornet, but an old CBF1000 could fit the bill, or even a Dullville.     Who am I kidding not going to happen.  

Out with the youngest today, and she comes out with the gem that I need to get another bike with a more comfortable seat for her.  Smart Girl that one , now all she needs to do is convince my Mrs. .

Mostly dead, unfortunately

Had an iPhone7 for a year... one of the worst mobile phones I ever bought.
- Expensive (around 600€ in 2018);
- Battery sucked, I had to charge it 3 times a day;
- Almost non customisable; 
- The storage doesn't work like the Android, couldn't add audio/video files as I liked.  
- Etc...

iPhone 7 was pretty bad and are mostly all dead now.    I went from 6 to 8 Plus, I still have both and they are both still working although the 6 probably needs a new battery now.  Funnily enough I have recently decided to put all my old phones on Ebay as they are just gathering dust but I am a bit of a kleptomaniac and never really want to get rid of anything which is just stupid with old tech.  Mind you I still have an Amiga 600 and an Atari 520e in the loft

I'm no fan of Spotify either. I did try to use it for a while, but gave up on it. All the adverts just got on my t*ts. I tend to use Internet radio stations now. The ones I use have fewer ads, but my musical taste is less mainstream, so I guess the advertisers go for the more popular stations. 

Do you still need an Apple Music account to use the phone, or have they moved away from that now?

I missed the first bit, I have got a Spotify Premium account for the family to use so no adds at all.  Of all the accounts we have Spotify would be the last to go, I love it and use it all the time.  Amazon, Netflix,  Discovery plus can all go but spotify would have to stay to the grim end.    Mind you as a family music is a big part of all our lives.   

I’m voting for @JustaPor, I like the light in his picture.  Also I think the CB500F deserves some love.  Very capable machine.

Oh, yeah, for sure the coffee is better in the Costas, but a couple of coffees a day and you're looking at serious money! I did actually resort to making some coffee in a flask and taking that with me to drink in the car eventually.  

Yeah I am like that, I always carry a mug and PG tips bags with me as the hospital kitchen stuff is awful. Free to us but still terrible stuff.   Floor sweepings is the joke but not far from the truth

It's what you're used to. I can find my way around my android phone pretty smartish. I'd struggle on an iPhone. 

That is the truth 

The Dad joke that never fails to wind up my youngest is calling it Costabucks, gareenteed to get an eye roll from her

Long gone are the old WRVS shops, where you could get a coffee and bun for a couple of quid!

Yeah but is was piss poor coffee .   Got too used to the good stuff now.
