Re: Bananaman

I've done just on 40,000 miles on a v-strom now, needed something upright to help my arthritic spine :)
I can thoroughly recommend it as an all-rounder, and if you get the centre stand option even...

Re: The great Ancient times Org resurrection thread

Still riding into London for work, still pop in here from time to time, even though the pointy turned into a V-strom a few years back, when my back finally gave out and I needed something more...

A friend of mine's brother was a bee keeper and found a wasp nest in a neighbours compost heap, killed them by misting it with petrol.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Re: feelin' old...

Not much of an LZ fan either, agree with Craig - Immigrant Song or Rock and Roll are my favourites.
Got me thinking though, my favourite bands (Joy Division and The Smiths) aren't going to be far...

Re: The Covid19 thread

I've got my jab wednesday morning, hopefully no side effects as I'm supposed to be on nights :)

Re: Are you observing Lockdown 2.0?

I can't work from home due to the nature of my job, ride a bike into Central London and work in a large office with a small number of staff, so haven't really been too badly affected by the Covid...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Common sense needs to be applied - if you're wearing gloves and intend to leave stuff on the step for collection, where's the problem?

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

That's awful, bad enough that a friend of mine has just found he's now terminally ill and has months left, at least he's nearly 60. Losing someone so young must really test your sanity, not sure I'd...

I changed my SV to a later model...
