  2. Did the brakes on my van this morning, I absolutely love working on bikes but Christ I hate working on cars, they are torture.
    Wife’s buggered off for the weekend so I’m going to be boozing all afternoon o_O

  3. Sitting in Virginia waiting for the big snow and ice storm to blow through the US, fingers crossed we keep power. No fun being away from home and having all your amenities taken away from you too.

  4. unfortunately that sounds like a r56 model turbo engine. And pre 2012 probably the most fragile of all the new mini variants so def buy with serious caution

  11. Curiously quiet?
     
  12. First ride of the year on the XSR, nice 4 hour trip around Kent and Sussex. Been in storage since October and I'd forgotten what a naughty side is has. Got home and although we've had enough rain to clear the salt off the roads, it still got a decent bath to remove anything that could do harm.

  13. I hope so - i know it will never happen but a Forum Meet would be a laugh one day maybe - closest we've ever come to this is the Super Sausage Meet on the A5 where there must have been over 20 Forum members at one time over the years.

  14. Today was the closest i've come to being flattened by an Artic. (not roll) I'm not sure why i didn't get the shakes straight afterwards, maybe just adrenaline. It was unmarked luckily for the driver or would be on the phone for sure.

  15. Chris, how many lives have you used up out of the 9.?
     
  16. I think we have used them all up Pete - many on here, and you included? Definitely been lucky many times, and i think that's typical of a biker of several decades, and this was on a bicycle!
