I too have been subjected to the hours of swearing/cleaning of sealant off surfaces other than the tyre where it should be...ugh! Someone's probably made a database of this sort of thing. If it hasn't been made, maybe it should be. Could make for less swearing and more riding. Bonty tyres on Bonty M...

I'll ride with ya fella*....as long as you pay attention to where you're going ; )
Yer a grumpy bastard when you fall off *laughs*

To everyone riding in paradise this weekend....have a fantastic time. Will be with you in spirit and sleeping outside tonight after a dram or two of Aberlour.

...and has delivered a package from deepest mid-Wales. Lovely jerseys, Stu. Soft on the skin...will be interesting to see how they are after a few washes. Will feed the bear shortly for postage. [Edit: bear has been fed]

+1 for Rydons. Mrs Scattamah has the inserts and says they're great. Weight is right for forgetting you have them on. On the downside, they are designed for your face and will not survive in your pocket. I have a set with cracked frame from this. Treat them kindly and you won't be disappointed. Gree...

Fresh Cratoni lid to replace the one smashed by US customs last year....and a Joystick Mk14. >2x output of my Mk7 and better beam pattern than my Mk10.

Currently listening to DRI - Dealing With It....getting gee'd up to go for an early spin. Watched Dogs In Space last night...classic Aussie post-punk flick with a good soundtrack. If you remember inner city share housing and the craziness that went on...you'll feel at home with this. I'm sure it's s...

Might want to avoid Brown Clee for a little bit folks...will be a lot of traffic up there for a time.

+1 for arm/leg covers and base layer. Staples in my setup.
Have you had issues getting served wearing arm warmers James? : )

I've seen Zippy and Chickenlegs with Zpacks shells...no base or nets. I've been looking at one myself to keep the water off and using the Kestrel to keep the bugs out. Lots of space inside without the weight penalty of heavy DCF used on the bathtub. Heh...heavy DCF. /me facepalms self

This is Spinal Tap is up there with Blues Brothers for me. Great call Reg.

Lemme know what I need to send for postage, Stu. On the off chance you end up with a spare zombie bear shirt...put me on the list for it...it's a good 'un.

@ James - they are compromised machines the world over...industrial systems...cams...databases. I run it on the side of my screen to watch to new compromises....and sometimes get an interesting soundtrack. It's another world.

Back to the fun stuff...

@ James, Zippy, JS....IOT appliances...they are nearly always the point of failure due to bad security. If you're into vapourwave and internet exploits, Shodan2000 is retro-tastic and shows plenty of compromised camera systems.

Thanks for the callout to Bauhaus, Greg. Forgot I had this little gem...

In The Flat Field is such a good tune.

Been solid since March here too...I ended up taking the clippers to the top and sides as it was gettin' outta hand like normal. Good to hear yer gettin' a new machine.

Back on topic...lookin' forward to some new rags to wear : )

@ Dave - the lads in Alchemist I've known for a long time. I have lost count how many times I saw them live...and I consider myself fortunate to have both opened for them and headlined on a bill with them. Seek out Jar of Kingdom - that was the era I saw them do pubs and clubs in Canberra. Stunning ...

I heard Gwen before No Doubt, she was part of the Long Beach punk/dub scene and did a couple of duets with one of my favourite bands Sublime Yup...the whole LBC was pretty good back then. Sublime gets good airplay here...Garden Grove is a perennial...but without a sub and a well treated room, you'l...

Great thread. Enjoyed seeing a wide mix. Lately...it's been a lot of Melt Banana (Cell Scape/Teeny Shiny), Godflesh (Pure/Streetcleaner), Nasum (Shift/Inhale-Exhale) and Obituary (Slowly We Rot).

@Steve - Vulpine may be considered gravelwanker these days, but their merino riding tops are nice. Way nicer than my BaaBaa. Got mine 2nd hand and wore it to death.
