Re: The All New Megathread
Should have plenty of oomph, and so much better value than a cordless one, unless you already have the chonky batteries and charger. I've got almost 250 sq m of grass, and with paths and beds, it's...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Decided it was high time to give Hugh a wash and polish. Have not given him a clean so far this year so it was high time. Went for a spin this afternoon and found a five mile stretch of the A40 has...

Re: Stamford ride
If I do end up pulling the trigger on a P-Strom 800RE I'll let you know what economy the same engine gets in an ADV style bike.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Feeling manly tonight. The Freesat box started playing up last week and then we lost most of the channels - the signal strength showing nil on both input channels. I could see the LNB (the bit on the...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Just feel like a change really. Was looking last year but nothing seemed right - the Yam dealers near me never seem to have much stock, the TigerSport 660 has a horrible back end and looks stupid...

Re: CB650R with E-clutch
It's an interesting concept and I certainly hope other manufacturers bring similar to the market soon so we have more choice. I would quite like to try a DCT-style auto and i'm surprised it's not on...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Had a test ride today on what will probably be my next bike. Had a day to myself as Lady Poppy is visiting her sister so rode to a Triumph dealer (nobody bothered to acknowledge me), went to a Yamaha...

Re: Voting
I imagine the turnout around me was very low yesterday, but we only had the Police and Crime Commisioner to vote for this time. Can anyone truly say this position is worthwhile or makes a difference...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Quite agree. On the flip side I was avoiding a traffic jam on Tuesday night and went a different route home and one of the villages I passed through was clearly campaigning for a 20 limit. Currently...

Re: The All New Megathread
I take it the windows were not put in by Everest then Craig. Cannot believe they've gone bust again, but then if they hacked off all their customers in the way they did me last year then it serves...

My moron next-door neighbour has got his scrapyard-dodging chainsaw out again. All he ever does is cut things down. I've told him it's nesting time but he does not care, claiming he needs to clear...

Re: The Veg Plot.

They are if people are kind to each other. Mismanagement and corruption are probably just as much to blame for people going hungry as ecological or meteorological factors, and when you add in...

Lovely terrain around the Fold. Some of the ancient stones are a short walk away and well worth the views you get when searching them out. Know what you mean about the vibes - it's a magical place...
