... sufficient time (or skill!). So me and the bike head for the grass verge and a massive chuffing rock. I think I hit the rock (I must have as there were scrape marks on it) and flew over the top, onto the grass and down goes the bike. Once I met back up with Rocket and Monty and we pulled in to ...

Re: French Fuel Strike
Hope it gets sorted for you guys.
Watching the news there is fuel available and being rationed to 20 euro per transaction so enough for a tank fill up on the bike.
I believe you can get an app telling you were fuel is. Might be worth a Google search. Sorry no more info.

Picked up the new wagon today. Pretty happy with it, but the steering felt a bit weird so once I got home checked the tyre pressures. They were down a bit, but as I was inflating them I spotted a bigger problem. The bloody Tyres were breaking up! They have gone hard and brittle. I'd say some ...

Off the back of 3 meetings (supposed to be 4 but 1 didn't happen) I quickly realised that I wasn't the one trying to impress them, they were trying to sell their role. I subsequently had 3 roles made available to me. I have since made the decision and as of July 1st I will be in a permanent ...
