Re: Today’s want

Was away on business this week in Europeland. Was picked up from the hotel by a colleague I hadn’t met before in a 1989 Volvo 740 Estate. 215,000 km, scruffy outside, but not a squeak, rattle or clunk. Brakes were silent and pulled it up straight. My favourite part was a 4speed box with overdrive on...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread

Some interesting comments on boatshoes.

Apparently lost it and ended up sideways, crashing on the inside of a first-gear bend, so definitely a weird one.

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread

I don't know enough about the man or the circuit or where the incident happened. They seem to be highlighting it was an accident in a sport known for dangerous accidents - everyone is pushing their equipment to and beyond the limit. He seems to be arguing that the circuit & organisers could have...

Alpine Bikes were independent - had a shop in Gt Western Road where I got my first Trek. Tiso bought them over around 2007-ish.

Re: Mountain Biking general thread

Here, can someone recommend a comfyish saddle that doesn't look like a piles cushion? My usual choice is killing me on a daily commute and I don't want to wear padded undershorts as neither taking my trousers off at work or sitting all day in something that feels nappyesque appeals. I wonder how mu...

Re: Drunk Purchases

Must admit, I've used booze to Put My Big Boy Pants On and make big purchases, but those were purchases that I'd already decided to make and was just fear't of pulling the trigger on them. I don't think I've ever accidentally drunk-purchased anything in my life. Clearly I'm missing out on the surpr...

Interesting - I thought the 1.5m requirement was spacing between bike and vehicle.

Re: Drunk Purchases

Mrs mik will buy items after a few sherbets without checking dimensions. A few years back we took delivery of a "bargain" outdoor chair/table set that would probably suit 7 year old kids. It was like the Stonehenge scene in Spinal Tap.
