My 2 year fixed with HSBC at 1.89 ends 1st December. Usually do this online, but actually going into the local HSBC on Friday as they called at the right moment. Probably go 2 year fixed, which will be cheaper than what I am on now.

Jobro, I miss typed, had them the other way round :)

Thanks all, went for Chunky Monkey upfront and Racing Ralph(currently have) out back because very cheap at Planet X, £43 delivered.

Granted not £600 like OP request. ZX9r on an R reg £1400, I’ve since done 5000 miles last 2 years. Compared to the price of a push bike great value!

Obviously old school 26″ hardtail, mainly XC ish.

5s upgraded, all works fine, not noticed any additional battery usage.

I think Tom Tom pulling out of the market, so future support may dwindle.

Stupidly think of riding down through France to Valencia for the final MotoGP in November on my 19 year old ZX9R. Get Eurotunnel, couple of stops overnight on the way down, and camp at the circuit. Obviously could be Baltic or nice, any tips other than don’t be daft :)?

Test ride of the GSXR-R on Saturday at Hartside, never even ridden a bike with ABS, never mind electronics. I’m sure getting back on my trusty ZX9R to ride home will feel old hat!

1985 YTS at Vickers in York, £27.50 a week, gave me mam a tenner out of it for my Kawasaki AR50. Always seemed to have money, how!

What about legendary skater, turned hunter Geoff Rowley!!

Red Rhino in York for me as well! Track again in York was alright.

I crapped myself at the Hillier save:

Must watch, Hickman on the HP4, number 001 build. Footage is pretty unreal!

Heading over Tuesday night, hoping the weather picks up.
Hutchy & Dunlop mainly, fancy Dean Harrison for a few podiums, old boy Rutter could get to the top step as well!

I’ve just been on Google, trying to fid out any info on existing or standing for my area Hexham. Absolutely nothing of substance…
I will vote, but blind.

I’m same as Rockhopper, ride round the corner and 10 minutes later passed! It was 1986 :)
Went and bought a powervalve, how I survived no idea.

The Cartel,all about the drugs war, follow up to Power of the Dog, both excellent.
On pre-order John McGuiness, Michael Dunlop & Freddy Spencer books, bit of a motorbike theme!

Yep, Motorcycle News most weeks and Bike Magazine every month, pass onto my neighbour, so gets reused. Sometimes Ride or Practical Sportsbike, depends what’s in. Still read paperbacks as well, love to read in bed every night. Say NO to screens!!

Merlin own brand are excellent, also Howies although 9 quid over budget.

Sadly looks like they have cracked down on streams this season, cannot get any to work. grrrr

First time this Sunday, off to see Depeche Mode as part of 6 music festival. They only play arenas, so looking forward to it.

Alpkit and Finisterre both have some nice ones in the sale at the moment, worth a look.

ZX9R still great cheap fun. I am also thick and cannot post pics!

Got one from Matthew Charlton in Hexham last year good quality, choice and price, they are part of Jewsons so will be a branch near you. And yes we did haggle!

I’ve the Loft of Cambie from Slim Wallet Junkie for a year, 2 cards in the middle, 1 on each side and folded notes. Could fancy just going to one with my phone though.

Looks good, will have to explore that!

Don’t know the exact road, but know round Whitley Chapel, Rowley Burn where it passes. I usually just follow my nose round that area, loads of good stuff on the CX, cut into Slaley Woods, use some of the Bolts Law route etc…
Looks a good ride, will be a nice climb from Sparty Lea!

All my work shirts are from them, I have monkey arms, so the slim fit 37″ arm length are perfect. Any shirt from the usual high street are too short in the arm.

Kid at school back in 80’s in York called Caswell Coggins!

Mine ends next week, best offer so far over the phone is HD full package, sports, movies fibre and multi room for £67. Said no a week back, see if I get anything more :)

@bensales IT reseller, disti land, mainly storage, acquisition currently going through so planning ahead should things not go smoothly. Hence dug out my CV and thought is looked a bit jaded.

Good points, although late 40’s up against the young and hungry, look at some of these https://piktochart.com/blog/well-designed-resume-examples-inspiration/
yes I know most are irrelevant unless in design etc… but you need to stand out. 6 seconds is all you have to catch the eye.

46 with jeans, skate shoes, t and hoody since I was a kid, and don’t give a toss…Super smart with Dad clothing for work though :)

Thanks Jambalaya, booked Burton Custom or likewise for 66 euros for 5 days. It was 90 quid to take my own on EasyJet!

Off on a short break 26th Jan, staying in Avoriaz for the first time, usually been in Morzine. Worth booking snowboard rental upfront or wait till I get there? Usually take my very old own board, fancied trying something new and higher end. Noticed there is a new Burton shop, do they rent?
Help appreciated.

Sorry to resurrect, just cancelled today and hope to get a deal! Anyone else recently had any good offers?

Good ideas aplenty, since been told I had Rum. So keep em coming!

whats the liner like?
Slight compression, just a soft lycra.
