I know we spoke about it before Steve, but have you looked at moving into the crane side of things or tail lifts , I know there’s plenty of work still out there in that type of work , mate If you do consider it let me know and I’ll put a couple of companies names your way worth trying, really don’t ...

Well I can safely say all year I’ve done my best to stay within the rules without wrapping myself in cotton wool and I’ve still managed to catch it , but I wouldn’t dream of going to a rural area and spreading what ever I’ve got without knowing it , none of the family would have realised that we had...

Well as the wife’s test has come back positive and I should have mine back tomorrow I will definitely be missing this weekend and doing it in the near future :sad: hope you're both ok... No symptoms at all , the wife has weekly tests from work but I had to take one due to what had happened at my wo...

IMPORTANT UPDATE IN THESE COVID TIMES. That although some of us will at this time be swinging a leg over a fully loaded bike to ride our VWE, even if we are kipping in the back garden. PLEASE NOTE That if Covid restriction (such as they are in Wales) prevent you riding as you would feel comfortable...

Cervezas la virgin , last night was the dare i say it lager , but tonight after work it will be the ipa

Achieved the same as Stu this year ,
Next year work needs to be reeled back by quite a bit and get out on the bike , finally get my lad to Thailand for his Thai boxing camp for a few months , open his horizons a bit before working life starts for him

Was thinking about wrt the other day and I may be a bit sceptical but I do truly believe august bank holiday would be the best chance of it going ahead , I can see the next 6 months of tiers being upped and downed every month as I don’t believe any one government will be able to get a handle on it p...

Sláinte! We’ve missed you, top job on the self isolation though, inspirational :lol: hope you and yours have a good one and that you manage to escape work next year.. You too Steve , and yep I’ll be back out and about next year , especially as some how we’ve managed to stay in tier 3 at the moment ...

Your turning into Reg

Right people, I’d like to wish you all a good Christmas and a peaceful new year , not had any contact with any of you’s this year really , so hopefully will get out and about next year a bit more, ooh and whilst I’m on the subject I do believe the bear gets a bit hungry this time of year Thanks Stu ...

I’ve just never seen the pint in having fire when we’re not really supposed to be kipping where we do it’s just saying look I’m here and doing something I really shouldn’t be and leaving a dirty mess on the ground The worst I’ve seen was right outside Nant Rhys Bothy last year when myself and the yo...

Cylinder heads bolts up till the angle torque then comes out the 1” drive air gun and tipex for the angle torque , only ever used one on a bike once and that was because my crank arm kept falling off , it still did after using a torque wrench

I also see the big bear 530 isn’t listed on there for wales

Only when things break , playing with spanner’s all day (which I do enjoy) means I get very little enjoyment out of tinkering with the bike , in my eyes it’s there to get me away from spannering and not encourage it.I should really do a bit of preventative maintenance once a year though

Yep , used silnet solution on the floor of my borah bivy as I kept waking up outside my tarp , it works a treat just don’t make the solution to thick

Rigga boots Stu , Rigga boots .that’s all I can say

Dave I’m overweight, and smoke like a old Diesel engine but as Stu says you get used to it , I tend to spend 14hrs a day outside mauling with trucks and trailers , I’m just getting to the age though if I’m knelt down or try to get up off the old crawler board I need assistance from my hands and arms...

Just message my partner to let him know it’ll be around the 3rd before I get any grid refs to him due to work ,

It was just one those moments when as soon as I read it, my hands started typing straight away , never mind once confession is open again I can go and get absolved of my blasphemous comments

Or possibly bundled with a set of Ti pegs for the perfect Easter pressie.(too soon?)

Now come on Duncan it’s only 3 pegs needed at Easter (yes I know if your religious it’s in very bad taste)

Got in touch with Bob , will probably be 28th or so before I send out any grid refs due to work and all the other stuff going on

Welcome buddy , had a helium for a couple of years and loved it plenty of room inside with your mat in there to be able to slide out of you riding gear (and I’m quite a stout lad) . Couldn’t get on with a hunka xl with my mat inside just found it too constricted, so haven’t bothered to try a Kloke a...

That’s brilliant
