Sir Fallsalot

I used to have great fun trail riding one of these many years ago one of the ugliest bikes in the world but it was reliable and good on fuel

I was looking at that but with the van i have they say you can temporally disable it by turning on the ignition then turn on the hazard lights and press the accelerator 5 times the van will beep then you start the engine and the TC will be off but you have to leave the hazard lights on, turning them off resets it

Nobody would buy them then, one of the biggest shocks waiting for new car owners is when they all get restricted to the speed limits by GPS, apparently a lot of new cars are already equipped for it

Cant turn off the traction control so just slowly brings you to a stop but just found a way of doing it on line i'm going to try tomorrow

The logical reason is getting away from everyone to get a break from the mundane life most people have, i bet your boy would love to do something like this if the fat munter would let him if anyone needs it it's him

You are missing the experience of being alone in a field in winter

Bit of a cold one in work today discovered the van is shit in the snow this morning

Just had a look at the MOT and just noticed last years MOT had exactly the same advisories as this year i just didn't read it

Would have been nice to see it as an advisory the diff is mounted on 3 bushes this being one of them got an advisory on the other two this year

I don't mind him being a jobsworth i want to know when things are wearing out so i can keep on top of them This was a bush he missed last year i spotted it just by laying on the floor and looking at the rear diff plain as the nose on your face

I agree its the only time i look at mine and rely on them telling me if there's something wrong but i don't think the place i take it has looked at it properly for the last few years because the list of advisories he gave me this year didn't appear between last years and this years MOT i know because the thing has barely turned a wheel

They were talking about bringing in that type approval shit here many years ago where you had to buy genuine parts not aftermarket ones and parts like brake pads were included in that, they were even on about not changing the tyre the bike came with so if your bike came with a shit tyre from new you were stuck with it thank fuck it never went anywhere.

didn't you know Pete is sola powered, when it gets dark he shuts down

I know your game you put him on the Honda thinking he would get bored and fall asleep giving you a quiet afternoon

Temperature here today was 2 deg warmer than yesterday but it felt 4 deg colder fecking freezing, on the faster road sections my heated grips were fighting a loosing battle and it didn't help i had summer gloves on and only a T shirt under my jacket the dirty bits i'm never cold on the speed is low so no wind chill and your body is working harder so you generate heat

Had another day on the bike today only took one photo as we were too busy riding Obligatory photo from Miriam's bench

You do know your bike is not made of sugar don't you

Glad you showed up everyone was worried there was talk of flouncing and it looked like there was going to be a mass gravel trap search at one point looking forward to the pic's

I thought that but they are metal and bolted directly to the handlebars so no damping there the bike feels smooth though the bars but you notice the vibration in the footrests as soon as you get on it but you stop noticing it pretty quick

You've been spying on me i thought i saw something in the woods it was a flash from your binocular lenses i believe

I usually do as well but i kept putting it off today for some reason probably because it never went above 4c all day and i couldn't find it LOL

Forgot about that, it works great sticks out enough so i cant even see my elbow and one thing that surprised me was it doesn't vibrate as much as the one on the XR or the Dog does except when its ticking over that is

Old age Pete i used to be able to hold on as long as i liked when i felt like i needed a wee but now i cant and forget about it until its too late and i really have to go
