    Leaving your bikes on it and hoping to take them on holiday?

    Park and Ride would work… But your bikes would be at risk.

    Did you fit the ‘new’ ring the right way round?

    Non-issue to me. One of my neighbours has just done that same thing this afternoon with my roofbox

    Shill bidding normally ;) Gets the interest up, and normally ends in an off ebay deal as mentioned

    Riding time of about 5 1/2 hrs, but car to car was 12.5

    Not helped by my waiting for an hour for my mate, and then three hours hold up for the accident.

    All in all, a good ride except a bit gutted to have to have missed Leith Hill as we missed the cut off.

    But I can recommend having diarrhoea for the last 60 miles of a bike ride for a combined weight loss of 6lb in one day.

    Up in 4.5hrs for the 90 mile drive…. Wide awake.

    Can’t wait until I’m rolling though!

    Yeah, I suspect it was on fumes in the sump.

    Well interestingly my oil warning flashed on this morning… So went to the dealer to get them to top it up (full maintenance lease… I’m not that lazy normally)

    4L in 11,800 it took to top up.

    So I should make it to 18,000 within the 12 months for it’s first service without another.

    I’ve got one, ntec+ but with the 1.5dci engine.

    Getting about 54-58mpg on my A road commute to work, it was initially a bit slow but now I’m used to it now. Comfy at 80+ through France on the autoroute.

    Interior is wearing pretty fast on some of the hard plastic area’s (like kick plates)

    No issues yet in 7 months / 12,000 miles

    I’d rather that if they didn’t supply pedals it couldn’t be classed as a bike…..

    That way every time I buy a new complete bike I don’t need to waste the first half hour of it’s life decrapifying it by taking off all the reflectors, spoke protectors & BS sticker

    That said…. pedals, grips and saddles are such a personal choice, 9/10 they all go in the parts bin anyway

    Probably find paying £0 on insurance for two years is better than any NCB discount

    Another with work.

    Alright if you stick to mainstream places, helpfully most restaurants won’t take it outside of chains.

    Non chain hotels tend to charge £2.50 or 2.5% as the fees they’re charged are higher.

    Literally useless in non-cities in Germany, and on the continent generally.

    Depends on if your high mileage is ‘business’ miles or personal.

    So… whichever gets you the lowest mpg for the engine size so you stand a chance of hitting the HMRC rates

    Unless you have a fuel card.

    But to chuck in a ‘what I have’ – Nissan X-Trail (I have the baby QQ)

    Where I live it’s either the truly deserving, great people who need the leg up

    Or

    People that cheated the system, and park their 65 Plate G-Wagen in their allocated space

    Or

    Drug dealers (yes)

    So, how do you judge the sensible level?

    My employers tolerance level to a very generous sick policy vs career limiting attendance in plaster casts

    The stem from the 90’s?

    Looks just like the Trans-X Azonic copy I’ve got in the parts bin

    Which direction is it? West to East?

    I might ride along with the flow if so from QECP for a bit.

    I don’t claim it.

    I have a friend who claims it to pay back the debt of the CB for the previous year….

    Dear Boss,

    Sorry to hear of your poorly stomach. I’ve stocked up on dioralyte ahead of our site visit

    I wonder on what grounds they’re suing them. I bet it’s for a massive pile of Qashqai

    Depending on the size you need this might be cheaper than a second hand unit & a service

    http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/RSRSMONRT3/rock-shox-monarch-rt3-rear-shock

    or wait a fortnight and there will be a sale… probably

    I wanted to see a power wheelie off the Big Doon. Probably best they didn’t do “all” of it

    But that was great given most people wouldn’t ride down there.

    Big grin, damp bits also

    Is there a timeline somewhere for the ‘Exit’? As part of the plan.

    Like on the 24th, we serve a 30 day notice period etc?

    Funny, I had chips at lunch and bought doughnuts for tonight. How on trend am I?!

    Did you wash it down with deconstructed coffee?
