Re: Fuel prices

Still floating around 1.43 for me.

Thankfully the wife has been improving her driving efficiency and we've been getting 500 miles to a tank recently which is 45mpg.. typically used to get 420 miles

Day 12 Ravensburg - Landstuhl Not too many pictures as we were all getting worn out and just wanted to get there, yet again it was HOT! But we did a bit of the B500 and stopped here for drinks and a browse of the tourist trap. https://i.imgur.com/dZJlBWS.jpg ...

... Day 1 https://i.imgur.com/MNIxXJy.jpg Bit of a whirlwind on day 1 and it was HOT! on both sides of the channel, it was all about getting to that hotel for a shower and something cold to drink. We then had a bit of a walk to a local restaurant for dinner.

Sadly there's only one Party that's committed to doing that and they don't stand a chance of getting into power.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Took the 765 out for a little run yesterday before a good wash. I am really enjoying this bike, it is so responsive, plus I am getting used to riding it, its a big difference to riding the S1 with all that power on tap. I forgot how much engine braking you have with a triple. I find myself ...

Rode over to Hay on Wye this evening with a couple of friends for fish and chips. Stopped off for a pint in Leominster on the way back. Got home and checked my rear tyre. My chicken strips aren't getting any smaller ;(

Took Byron down for his Learner licence test. Passed first pop!!! Considering when he turned 16 last September he had zero interest in getting his licence, I’m glad the work and effort I’ve put in with him has got him to this point at least. He’s still very anxious with the idea of driving, ...

... Bloody things.. So, aquatic gardening take 2 and dinner slightly more robust plants. I'm happy with the way the tank looks, and everyone is getting along fine. I'm going to leave things as is for a while and let the community mature. There are a few babies swimming around as well. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230529/3bb73c468f0332839e4afda32f956974.jpg ...

Re: What are you doing today ??

Going for a 25-30 mile bicycle ride, then hopefully get around to dropping my MTB off & finally getting my new front shock installed. I've been procrastinating over getting it done, as in the past I usually do the work myself.

Oh...and a dentist appointment. Thrilling.

Interesting that many local Tories are blaming Truss and Johnson for them getting the boot. Remind me who elected those two to lead their Party?
