Booked in, might get scuppered by work but fingers crossed.

I do similar, if riding the motorbike too much I try to use the indicators and mirrors on my bicycle or if I'm cycling too much I reach for the water bottle on my triumph. It could just be my intelligence though :s

The massage people in the assembly hall at the end were a nice idea too, although I may have scarred a young girl with the sight of my pasty tattooed body. I hope she recovers soon.

Nice weather except for the icey bits at the beginning, not happy with my fitness compared to six months ago but that's life. Well organised and very busy, top marks to Catford CC for coordinating the event.
Hai to the couple who gave a DAS as we were leaving to go home too.

I'll be on my Planet X crabon, forum cap and too much rapha. May well meet you near the broom wagon.

I sent a card to my girlf bearing the following David Shrigley funny...>>

She has subsequently phoned me in tears saying that male rape is not a joke and it's in very poor taste. I thought SHE was joking and laughed a lot. Turns out she was being serious :s

What's the consensus, nice wheels or winter wheels?

I nearly came a cropper this evening by a pothole in puddle combo, off to report it now.

I had an annoying follow up email the other day from Lewisham council saying Honor Oak road isn't a priority this year. It's a fucking hazard cause it's so busy, fix it you gits!

The Council has recently (in 2012) completed a detailed structural condition survey of all its roads (this was last completed in 2001). Data from this survey has been used along with information from our regular visual inspections, and a number of other factors, to develop the resurfacing list. The number of roads resurfaced each year is dependant on the amount of funding available each financial year. I'm afraid that Honor Oak Road has not attracted sufficient priority to be included in this year's resurfacing list.

We do safety inspect every adopted highway on a regular basis. Any area which the inspector thinks may become an imminent danger to users is noted and a repair arranged. Unfortunately the Council's budget for highway maintenance is limited and we focus on repairing the worst areas in the borough. We do not currently have the resources to repair areas that are simply worn and unsightly, but not considered hazardous at this time. Our inspectors will continue to monitor the condition of this road and will arrange for any necessary repairs to be carried out.

If you note any particular defects please let me know giving a precise location and I will arrange an interim inspection.

I hope this is helpful.

A short by a pal of mine, made I laugh.

^^ nice bit of front room spannering too Jung, glad you're keeping up the momentum.

I'm wondering why I still own my Triumph and thinking of selling it.

Why do I?
Does anyone want to buy a black 2006 Triumph Thruxton in good nick with loud pipes, flyscreen, bar-end mirrors, alarm and a full service history?

I reckon you'll fall back in love with it when the weather cheers the fuck up, bring on the spring.

inchpincher , nice to know the good brands, thanks

i note pacsafe ftw

Pacsafe's are wicked good. Used them touring many times, so useful as a place to secure you're helmets etc when visiting a POI and peace of mind when parked up that your shit isn't gonna be opportunistically nicked. Pictured here on my triumph fitted under the rack and holding my tent, sleeping bag and mattress. And yeah, I've got sat nav like the old man I am (it's awesome).

I was at college with a Psycho Delic. He was as crusty as you are imagining.

Seems a bit OTT for just one journey. Whip the wheels off and lash it all together with gaffa tape then bungee against the top box would be my method if pushed. But you'll have to do the reverse when you collect, sounds like more hassle than worth. Although i did get three bags of cement and a pillion on my bandit once, not recommended.

btw, best bungees ever invented are Rok straps, used them today in fact, cracking product. They kept this lot lashed together for three months...

Continuing the walk-on music theme, what would yours be?

Mine is EPMDs Intro, stealing from Rocky- http://youtu.be/RBBBx3szVzI

That's a sweet little project Jung, glad you're getting straight to it.

Which part of California? I have a friend who houses a scooter for me in San Fran and he's a two stroke nut, I think he had registered three import yam RD/RZ's last time I was there which for California is pretty good going.

TV, went to Frimley Green once though, have a picture hugging Co Stompie!

Whilst I'd say the quality of scoring is higher in the PDC events, I think the drama of the BDO wins me over, these guys who've played all their lives, from all corners of the world get a chance to prove they can keep their bottle in front of an attentive crowd. I think Adams is looking composed, my tip for this year.

Definitely prefer the BDO atmosphere and I'm feeling much better about my late 90's tattoos.

Re chargers, I have an Optimate 4 which is pretty speedy but has been known to fuck with my engine management computer. If my bike stands for over two weeks it gets a juice up that takes about 2.5hrs, before I lost the garage space I would plug it in much more regularly.

I report on average two potholes a day using that app, my maximum was 8. I am the pothole police. Tfl and Lewisham council tend to send an email thanking you for the attention and are the most diligent with road repairs. You even get to tag a picture of the crater if you can be arsed to stop in the middle of the road when you notice it.

The Guardian had this picture illustrating their coverage of the floods in the South-East this morning.

This can't end well:

Forum cap?!

Good advice, I've been off the bike for nearly three weeks and it's really not much better. I have a physio booked for the 30th so hopefully a professional diagnosis and rehab plan. I'm going fucking insane.

Rapha mug for Christmas makes me king mamil in our house. It's nice.

^^^ note re: drilling. Small drill/hole = fast speed. Large drill/hole = slower speed. There are differences according to material being drilled but if you go too slow the steel work hardens and blunts the bit. Proper drill bits are what you need, they can't be bought in screwfix etc either. Presto and Dormer are two engineering brands that I use in the workshop.

I have an ankle problem so have been off the bicycle and on the motorbike the past fortnight. Two products that I have found revelatory are Nikwax Visor Proof and Pinlock Visor Inserts. No more fogging and the rain disappears from my vision better than ever. I am back in love with my Arai.

Ridiculus timing, I bought one on eBay yesterday for nearly double. Bargain bump. (Cries into cup of tea)
