South of the river? You?

Wonders will never cease!

Good job he's not planning to do it by taxi.

One for anyone who intends to either feet-doen paddle around, or three-point turn.

And some people think it's not cool to be able to do that. :lol:


We used to use a camber far less than that, and it caused no end of difficulties for some. Admittedly, it ...

Ah, sorry, we're looking at the window fittings. Looking for something to fit between the original windows and the secondary glazing.


As replied to Noggin, I got a NeatiEase magnetic fly screen from Amazon. Just fitted it. :thumbup:

Well, the French throw a strop as well as any 3 year old!! They don't want to see who comes in 3rd / 4th, they wanted to win !!

England supporters are probably the same ??


I do have to wonder at this. If a British Olympic athlete comes home with a bronze, everyone is delighted for them ...

Blimey

Well, that and the ticket prices for the 'also-ran ...

My neighbour at our previous house used to shoot them (in his own garden). If I found he'd been shooting at anything in my garden he'd have been in a world of trouble. (Used to use sprinklers at night on his lawn when there was a hose-pipe ban on too).

Might need a turbo or some nitrous tho'

Improbability drive would be

It's a shame. It could have been ok but there's a whole bunch of things that, to my eyes, they've got wrong. Paint job, screen, exhaust routing, fuel tank design etc etc. In the second pic they've succeeded in making it look like it was built for someone rather challenged in the inside leg ...

Looking at the package that arrived yesterday I may be spending the week doing the equivalent of origami on a bunch of bits that are supposed to go together to make mesh screens for the bedroom windows! :lol:

Jhesbsdly dyslexicsnd undrtadsevrry message o send him :banana-wrench:


I find that a very interesting observation. Seriously. I wonder what the mechanism is, and if it could be useful in helping people with dyslexia…


It would be interesting to tie it into the work on transposed letter ...

Mate and his, then, wife hired scooters (on a Greek island iirc). Not sure she'd ever ridden anything with two wheels + engine before). She, riding around in flop-flops ends up with a chunk of her foot missing, horizontal, on an insurance subbed flight back to the UK as a medium-urgent med-evac case ...

Full chat, if you're gonna splatter yourself across a runway it may as well be as fast as the bike will go, although I would insist on a pair of goggles.


Yup. Empty runway? What are the risks apart from mechanical/tyre failure? My only problem is £2k? It's hardly worth the petrol needed to get ...

On a new Sur-ron Light Bee X, giving it some beans off-road/on track you might get 20 miles out of a full charge. With an older battery, about 15?

Probably enough for an hour long session?

At least with an ICE you can glug another pint or two of fuel in and keep going.


An ICE bike gives ...

1. Isn't 'being cool' one of the reasons for biking?


Not gonna lie. Huge vertical wheelie = Cool. U-turn...yeah not really.


Falling over because you put both feet off the footrests, panicked, grabbed the front brake with the bike leant over? Not at all kewl!

Well I'm not dyslexic and I understand every message you post on here.
