You’ve kept that a bit quiet. Judging by Karen’s gear though I reckon you’re in the marmite wagon rather than on the bike.

 

No we are on a boat for the week it’s her birthday again. The marmite wagon has no MOT first thing I have to do when I get home. I Let it run out as I didn’t fancy fixing it if it failed outside in February 

It’s time to cast off next stop Cherbourg see you losers next weekend

21c forecast here......so that's just right!

It's 21c here at the moment but it didn't feel that warm when i took the bike up the hill to dry it out after washing it, although i only had a T shirt on so that didn't help

Mine is dying as well, or the battery is.  Will still pump up one 4x4 tyre but is getting weaker all the time.   Shame as it has been very convenient.     I still have my Aldi 12v one that works from a cig lighter socket but I am loathed to fit an ugly lump like that to my bike.    Also a bit bulky to carry on the bike.  I’m tempted to get one of those that work off a drill battery.  

This is the most reliable one i have quite small as well.

My version of that didn't last too long either converted it to a plug  in 12 volt one because it was only the battery that was duff the pump itself still works

Nice satisfying work Saul  but if i was doing that the gate would have been full width so i wouldn't have to do it again for some unknown reason in the future

About a year or so ago I ordered a battery operated air pump......but it's fucking useless.

So I've ordered this one from Amazon......mains (or lighter socket) operated, thousands of positive reviews, and on a deal at €50.

The wife reckons she knows how to operate it! 

I hope that's not going to be like that set of screwdrivers you ordered when it arrives

Those shiny things you avoid so you don’t scare yourself.

He casts no reflection so he still has no idea what your on about.

I have no experience with them because i found them a little bit too expensive for what they are ended up with some cheap folding mirrors cost £5 a pair so bought 2 pairs, good job i did as the cheapest i can find them now are £15 a pair but then i'm not looking for anything pretty on my bikes as they get hit off regular

I had one of those, i'm too old for this shit days today, I had a good ride but i twatted my left foot then twatted my right knee and then came home early with a migraine totally exhausted, i was just a passenger on the ride home, got home around 3 had a shower and went to bed, didn't feel hungover when i got up but sure last night had something to do with it.
Only photos i took were these 

Thought i'd take a leaf out of Pete's book and show some ugly flesh, Small bruise on my foot and knee from last weeks ride. i know how i bruised the foot but haven't a clue how i bruised the knee and that's still hurting, just rode the pain off the foot

im not going to be doing the shit you do ... i'll be more lanes and with the option of going off road a bit..

Wear those tyres out first before you change them

I might get some less harsh tyres fitted , they don’t feel good on the road .

If your going off road i wouldn't change those tyres for anything more road orientated i'd be going more aggressive you will get used to them after a while or are you creating a pavement princess.

It's called a spanner over here Scott, which is kind of ironic as Pete is a bit of a spanner 

This is already ten pages long do we really need to drag it out anymore
