Can I park my bike next to our table? If so I'm in.

I may have been breathing in!

Tim, I am not at all up to date on motorbikes. Is the 1250 preferable to the 1300? I assume new bikes don't yet have speed limit bongs and attention assist and so on like new cars. Yet.


To me it is, yes. I don't like what BMW have done with the 1300 iteration of the boxer engine, it's lost all ...

Thanks chaps, it is indeed very shitty.

I was sent some CCTV by a near neighbour today - two what looked like quads going past, then a few mins later, coming back one of them towing something large and black. It was 00:40 and crappy Ring footage so no real fucking use but I sent it on to the police ...

So, a couple of weeks ago I decided I was going to change my 2023 R1250 GS for an R1250 RT. I've had two of them before and they are superb tourers, and more suited to the two-up riding I'm doing these days. Also, my GS was about to run out of warranty and I just fancied a change as much as anything ...

Just got my bike insurance through, and even with a change of bike next week the premium is down by £105 to £201 a year.

Yeah I bought my 16gb M1 Pro chip Macbook Pro for £645 from CEX. It was grade b but there's not a mark on it. Mucho cheapo for what it is.

I have a macbook pro and a ton of windows stuff. I use Active Backup for Business on my Synology NAS to backup everything. It's a bit hoop-jumpy to get it working on the mac but it works once it's setup.

For inter-device transfer I just have onedrive installed everywhere.

I've recently invested in a MacBook Pro so I can develop some iOS apps, and the first candidate was a native app for my Highway Robbery site. It solves the problem of knowing where you are and typing in a postcode or a nearest largish town because, obviously, it knows where you are on a phone and ...

Am I the only one here that doesnt want the garage yet kid covering my car in swirls?


No - I always ask them not to wash (but if they want to hoover it - fine). I don't need my wheels acid-cleaned.


Talking of which, are people still using Bilt Hamber to clean their wheels now? Mines ...

Jaguar XF S 3.0 Diesel

Nothing to report. It's just worked since I bought it. Nothing has broken, rotted away or mysteriously turned into a rattly mess. I bought it at 64,700 miles in May last year and it's just tipped over 81,000.

I vowed to half the 12k oil service intervals in an attempt to ...

I bought an SGS 3 tonne low profile jack recently, and very pleased I am with it. But fuck me the amount of spam I'm getting from SGS now is putting me off ever buying anything from them again. Unsubscribing has slowed it down but not stopped it.

Mental.

I binned my Nespresso for a cheap Aeropress and amazon bean grinder years ago. It's the simplest answer to a good coffee without turning into a tedious wanker about it.

Great news, congrats!

I had one of those then realised when insomnia was calling, laying there watching the time wasn't helping.

I've applied for the minimum £500. Worth a punt I reckon.

Anyone in for the SpaceX IPO?

Whomever inputs the data at each retailer has a basic responsibility to type the right shite in.

Addresses are hard, apparently.
