I wheeled the bike out to take to work. The pump primed but there wasn't enough to start it. That's after 2 days. I'll try the optimate on it but I seems that the battery is fried. Time to look for a replacement.

... ride together. Noticed an amber light on then I'd knocked into lap timings and couldn't work out how to get back to the main screen so turned back after about 10 miles. Got home and googled it and I'd knocked the ATC button by mistake when using the clutch and had knocked the menu toggle as well. ...

... are you playing it by ear to see what's happening with work or looking for another job? Hanging in for the redundancy, will be a healthy 6 figures after tax so at this late stage it’s well worth hanging in for. Although constantly moving goal posts is frustrating, the short term pain will be worth ...

Went and got it dusty after the fog cleared up, went to a cafe which I have never seen open before and ignored the sat-nav on my way home so I hit some back lanes I have never seen before and had a fun little ride on my own. I like this ...

Looks like there could be a review incoming? Today I tested my new Garmin XT, managed to stuff up my route a little after sharing it with my friends but as they had nominated me to lead they had to follow anyway, 150 miles around the back roads of Derbyshire with a coffee break at ...

If it's a 120mm hard tail you're after, there are many to choose from!

Looking through my bank statements I noticed I was paying for insurance to a policy I had no knowledge of. After a phone call it was a renewal which I'd requested was cancelled at the time (May 2022) and so they've cancelled and refunded the full amount for that policy.

After washing my car yesterday I'm sure these 2 are locals

So I am now the proud owner of a Triumph again. Took the new Street Triple RS for a spin and liked it. Originally went for the red one, however after seeing the Cosmic Yellow one in the shop, I changed my mind. I just love the Black and Yellow scheme, I now have my very own transformer (BumbleBee) ...

... are tiresome enough for the rest of us Jack, hope you manage to throw it off soon. Fwiw back when I was doing my DoE, part of it involved working after school & weekends at a large local authority care home (don't think such places exist now). I recall that quite a number of the residents ...

Bit of a downturn today , couldn't breathe when I woke up , after a couple of goes on my nebuliser was more comfortable, saw the doctor who confirmed another chest infection and told me the bottom half of my right lung has ceased to function , it will ...

... thankfully just out of screenshot (or I suspect the shot has been manipulated to exclude the act). The guy has now been taken into custody after barricading himself in a house. Absolutely dreadful.

To be honest I don't think it's going to make much difference in the short term. MV will still supply them with parts and technical support

I think MV want to make sure that dealers know how to sell and look after their bikes. This is the start of the process.

So after 3 days discussions with Virgin they've decreased the price rise from £15 a month to £6 but I've got an increase in broadband from 350 to 500 and a price fix for 18 months.

... has been doing my head in for the last few years. Apart from HSBC, and that had it's challenges, good contracts are getting harder to find. So after 13 years I've decided to hang up the contracting gloves and head back to a permie job. Interviews have been done and I'm just waiting for background ...

First ride since November. Very cold first thing but a bit less cold after a coffee and a look at new bikes.

Felt so good to be riding again and finding some nice bends.

A sore and pained neck and right trap after having an unplanned lie down while mountain biking yesterday... and general soreness in the arms from the said mountain biking

I think they're amazing. I kinda idly looked them up on YouTube after you mentioned them the other day, and I haven't listened to anything else since. They're very inventive with their effects pedals, the songs are short, snappy, and full of sass. They're ...

... that obviously " he said " we go through at least four batteries a day each. No, what I meant is they stop retaining any useful charge after a few months of daily use & get chucked & new batteries brought[/i Zero carbon,,, hmmmmm

... company, I don't think they use Chinese mystery metal in forestry equipment. As for what I did today, I found out that my car hadn't dried out after washing and extracting the carpets and seats on Saturday, I was sure I left the front windows down just a bit but I was just coming off a 14 hour ...
