Here are 2 screen shots to help you know where we are meeting. 1.png When you ride in to the bus station, ride to the end and loop back to the cafe. 2.png If its a nice day, the whole of the bus station might be...

My Cool seat cover is here and fitted. Can i ask others who have the cool cover, If they bed in over time ? I have fitted it using the 2 straps on the cover, plus some cable ties. But i'm not happy with the movement still when sitting on the cool cover. I really like the Tribo seat cover and wish th...

I hate washing the bikes or cars now. But when i do, it's a bucket of Meguiar's Gold Class Car Shampoo and Conditioner, then i hose it off and use my blower to dry it off.
I hate leaving it to dry on its own as the water marks are a bitch to remove.

So i have just bought a Noco GBX45 Booster to keep on my RT when i'm out and about. Its for them "just in case" moments. Got it off ebay for only £67.91 with ebays 20% off offer. Its a remanufactured "A" grade unit and still comes with the standard 12 month warranty. Also bought ...

Well its my own fault for letting myself get this big.
When those who are coming to the meet on the 6th.
You may think i'm not that fat. But as said its just my belly.
The rest of me is lean and i'm happy with.
Lets see how i get on, only i can sort it out.
right, now where did i put my kebab

We managed to get out again on the bikes yesterday. it was a nice ride but the traffic was slow as we left it later in the day.

So yesterday, i got around to buying a cool cover for my Sargent seat. Not cheap @ £70 posted.
The last couple of rides i was able to wear my leather trousers and enjoyed the sargent seat more.
So i'm looking forward to trying the cool cover on the seat.

I worked hard for 4 months and lost 42 pounds (3 stone), and i felt better for it. But over the last 2 1/2 years i have had some heal...

There for them hot days when we wear our jeans and flip up helmets on the bikes

The way i look at it, sod the kids, we woked hard for what we have so why not spend it on ourselves.
If they want it let them work hard for it to.

Last summer both the wife and i hated our jackets sticking to us on the hot couple of days we had. So last November we were over at Fowlers in Bristol and ordered a RST S1 Mesh jacket each. As it was winter we both forgot about them, so last week when we popped in there we asked about them. The orde...
