Very nice....did Waltly design it or build to your design ?

There's local wildlife turned up in my kitchen, a cheeky mouse keeps
Appearing, bloody cats need to get to work, wondering if there's slim
pickings in people's gardens and it's hungry ?

I nearly bought one but bought a Vagabond instead, mistake, it lasted One ride, I found it too be an unforgiving ride, wish I'd gone for a longitude, My mate had one with Stooge bars on and it was a great ride, only drawback Being the aforementioned weight over gate issue but all in all a great bike...

Fair enough, that z was bloody horrible to ride but nice to look at

Have you rode an "old skool hardtail chopper" ? My mate had a z650 one
I used to service, after every time I rode it my teeth were chattering and not from
The cold, I'm sure I could put a claim in for something

It's a damn shame Stu, I hope we can all help out by buying local
When we come out of the rabbit hole ?

I'm old school, it's either a reef knot or the one they use for roping & sheeting,
Not sure what it's called, a truckers hitch ?

I use a specialised one, not sure if they still do them, will check,
Will blow a fat tyre up though

Surly extra terrestrials......bombproof and roll really well, spendy but well
Worth it, not bad in mud too, as an all rounder I really rate them, my
Mate had the g-ones, probably roll a bit quicker but nowhere near as
Versatile.

Edit; the g-ones did seem to puncture quick too

I had an Orange patriot 7+ a few years back, utterly bombproof and
Enjoyable but weighed about 600 kg , loved it and passed it on
To my son and he's just sold it on to make way for his Ktm.....there was
A tear in my eye when it went

Got the nod yesterday I'm one of 40 drivers who've volunteered to Carry on working whilst the rest are furloughed so will be on full pay So creating a side account for my next frame purchase (98%on that) We'll be moving the vulnerable and serving the local hospitals but Staying safe at the same time...

Hmmm....great idea, as you may have guessed I don't bivvy regularly or post up when I do It's normally a holiday trip etc, however it's something I'd like to change, I'm in, I've got my Tarp and bag but just sold my u/l mat ( uncomfortable) going old school back to foam 100% reliable but haven't got...

Up 2kg to just under 107, eating too many carbs as a result of the current
Situation as we/be got rice/spuds etc, hopefully should sort itself out
Shortly, still working as key worker but bike commuting still not sorted

Big thanks for all supporting the NHS, my wife finished her shift at 8 tonight
And was overwhelmed by the number of people in their gardens out to clap
As the shift changed

..yep that's right, you've got to dance like a fool to rid yourself of it....
It would have been so much easier calling it Sham 69

No Shaf, I'm sick of hearing of Covid 19 so turned it into something more jovial

So if you fall for the marketing hype, does that make you a gravel pawn ?

As per usual Reg, your're a trendsetter

Reg, have you asked the landowners permission ?

Yep, another bus colleague was due to take his test on Thursday till
The dvsa stopped them for the foreseeable future, also Hgv mot testing
Has been stopped...better hope this thing not long term or there will be no
Trucks to deliver anything in

My mum in law had a real stinker over Christmas, ended up really
Poorly with pneumonia etc....all the symptoms of Come on Eileen,
Her doc has said it could have been too....

Interesting choice of material to to make handlebars from Stu ?
Do you use old Classics or heavy metal
