Looks really good, could be a good option for listening to music when out on my own

That makes sense, no point not being able to pair with others!

Shoei Ex-Zero atm (wind noise is terrible) but tried on a Quantic the other day and VERY comfortable. My wallet needs to recover for a couple of months but will probably align a headset and helmet.

Rush of blood and now own this 19 Street Scrambler.

Got it for a good price, although needs some attention as previous owner was not a bike enthusiast.

First things first, I need to remove the top box... practical but just does not look right.

Headset recommendations? I'd like group functionality and decent sound quality if possible as I'm pretty deaf at the best of times

Your local B&Q is your best chance

Have you been tempted to add a thermometer?

Currently looking at buying these

So in the market for a new BBQ, I'm open to suggestions... Should I whip myself for not getting the Aldi kamado? Is a Kamado just for low and slow cooking? Usually cooking for 2 but occasionally up to 8 people. What would you go for? Can be gas or charcoal. Garden space is limited so hoping for something that can do a lot of styles of cooking.

Monkey sold, for more than I bought it for. Maybe I should start flipping bikes?

Unfortunately it still wont cover an R nineT :'(

In the process of reshaping my border which used to be a raised planter, the amount of soil I have removed is ridiculous. Hoping I can source a trailer and a day to ship it to the dump 😭

Selling my Arkose, bought as a frame and built by me to pass the time.

Looking to build a kid hauler next.

Collection would be in Wiltshire, SN10 or can deliver if close by.

Not many miles on it at all so still in great condition, pictures below!

Thank you 👌 There is also a carbon full build which is tempting. Going to do some quick maths and see if my build would come out much cheaper than the carbon.

I'm looking to purchase a Santa Cruz Chameleon in size large, ideally with a decent build spec. There is a couple on Fleabay but thought I'd ask here first.

All this pizza chat made me fire up the oven the other night, I always forget to take photos but got a couple.

Dough has been in the freezer since last year, wasn't expecting much. I usually get cobble lane pepperoni but had to make do with salami from m&s.

The first pizza I launch is always cheese and marmite, I can't recommend it enough.

What temp is your stone? I average 430c and it will cook my pizza in about 30-60 seconds.

I have a turning peel and I turn the pizza every 5 seconds roughly to even out the spotting. I then dome (lift the pizza to near the oven roof) the pizza before taking it out.

Any dry/wet dog food recommendations?

Currently trying different options.

Was on butternut box for 2 years but it's almost £90/month and a pain in the ass to store and defrost. Tipping point was a holiday to Scotland and storing the the food. Raw won't work as my partner refuses.

I went a bit crazy when we moved into our first house, buying all the stuff. I think a prep area transforms the experience, especially when making more than 2 pizzas. But it is a lot for a table 😭

edit read Karu as koda! I prep on the left table, I'm currently revamping my garden and thinking about building a kitchen area to replace this but it works well. I accidentally bought the bigger gas bottle haha, you can get away with the smaller one. My only complaint is the oven loses temp really quickly, a door would help but haven't looked into it. It produces great pizza.

Then spend the afternoon practicing 👍

You are right, I'm always a grass is greener type when I'm bored or trying to ignore other pressing needs (new windows).

Love driving the car and will run it till at least winter. I need to at least get some wear out of the new cross climate tyres $$$$

I think an A6 All road with air suspension is probably the answer in the future

In other news, don't put wheel cleaner on if your neighbour is about to chat your ear off for 30 mins, calipers look like rusty crap now.

Spent the week driving around the trossachs, dukes pass was a highlight, although my partner would disagree, those bends are vomit inducing. Also enjoyed the three loch forest track. The A4 is very fun to drive although I can't help but feel I'm driving the wrong car and the Audi tax is real. All this chat about outbacks, yetis etc has me thinking something like that would suit our family better.

Ideally I want something euro6/ULEZ, AWD, can handle single tracks and has decent boot space

Is the answer a yeti/outback? If so what engine/trim

YouTube just played a trailer for Band of Brothers, not sure why they are promoting it but looks like I'm going to have to rewatch it, great TV at the time.

It had me thinking about other TV shows from that era... Battlestar Galactica is now on my rewatch list.

I was thinking https://www.littlegreene.com/obsidian-green but there is 15 meters of walls, it would be worth it!

Before...

Nearly finished removing a 5 meter long planter. So much soil, I now have 30 rubble bags of soil to shift. The annoying thing is there is another planter opposite to do at some point. Instantly makes the garden look bigger.

Plan is to shape the border to be a bit more curvy and plant some evergreen shrubs.

Subaru Outback? A6 All road? Skoda Yeti?

With a lease, and it being brand new I'd be so on edge about scuffing up the interior hauling stuff around if thats what you need it for mostly. If I didn't have an infant, I'd be driving around in an old defender.

I think there was some chat earlier about Outbacks, after watching some reviews I'm pondering swapping my A4 wagon for one, there's just something about the A4 which has me on edge when the dog gets mucky on a walk.

I'd say it's the ultimate city bike, that or a zoomer/ruckus. It's all national speed limit roads around me :(
