Traded in a Ford Focus with a leaking No.3 injector (turbo failure imminent) and thermostat jammed open, dealers were such a bunch of sharks that I had no qualms.

-5 on ride to station this morning at 0545, hoping to get out of it snows later

Halo.

6 months for my Curtis AM9.  April hopefully.

Hottest curry you can stomach (immodium if necessary) and cider or beer!

If only you were right.

The South Downs frost melted today, it was very, very grim.

I would say I hope the truth come out in court but I doubt it, and anyone that thinks the police investigate and decide if the evidence warrants further action have a very rose tinted view of the police.

a light dusting on the Downs near Eastbourne, just a smattering

Same for me, logged in but when I try too access stories it says I need to login, then when I go to my account and check subscription it says Ooops not found!

Its Eastbourne Police, they’ll be too busy with drunks and the infamous Polegate Traffic light failure.

Try an ISM saddle.

C10 user here, very happy with it. iPhones/pads and Mac connect seamlessly. Nice sound (I’m a non audiophile)

1 mile from the station to home this morning, it was -3 and very greasy on the roads.

Our Focus had a non self priming fuel system. Only found this out trying to sort out the leaky No3 injector(and depressurising the low pressure side) the day before going on holiday. Spent day one of holiday sneaking around in a work van trying to find a primer kit. Eventually traced one which turned out to be rubbish so sucked diesel through to get system primed…….

Our Nissan has a built in primer system as did our old jeep.

I was in hospital in July last year, Mrs M came to visit and we were wandering around the grounds and came across a water feature/fountain that we both commented on. Never spoken about them before or looked at online adverts for them but both our FB feeds had garden water features adverts that afternoon!!!

The climb up to Rushup edge from Edale. There was nearly a Rocky Mountain Element in the bogs at the top. Pedal, pedal, crunch/stop on side of rut, pedal, pedal, crunch/stop on side of rut and repeat. Nearly full on mantrum at the top.

Oakley, kitchen sink rucksack started coming apart and after a few photos new rucksack arrived within days.
Marin/ATB Sales after I ovalised the headstock of my 3 year old Attack Trail they sent out a then current Wolf Ridge within 7 days (country had ground to a halt with 1 inch of snow at the time, well the SE bit had).

Is it wrong to feed the dog your scabs after you’ve picked them?

Front two top incisors are both rebuilds/root canals/2nd root canals after the first ones failed after 20 years, after teenage accidents involving a pair of pliers and a Tamiya Fox and an industrial hoover.

My dentist has advised that I don’t go for implants yet because of my riding “technique”

South Downs running beautifully at the moment, very dry and grippy, even the non existent Singletrack in Friston, just the odd boggy section at gates. Driest I’ve ever seen the Downs in 18 winters of riding here.

Mikey74 wins😁

Zilch here.

I bought a RWC bb for Mrs M’s bike, had to pay import duty/VAT/handling charges. It failed so they sent out a warranty replacement (marked as such) and the b’stards at HMC and post office screwed me over again!

Smeg head gits.

At least three on my commute to work this morning, TBH I was more corncerned about the ar@ehole cab drivers in Brighton.

Well, that’s 2018 finished on a high, just successfully updated my contact details on my Garmin startup screen!

Another vote for Michelin Muds, very grippy if a bit slow and better sidewalls than Maxxis so survive Sussex flint better.

Early to bed as working early turn New Year’s Day.

They do scheme and plot rather well😁

Bed sharing

I’m crap at photo hosting but Coop, a small polecat hob used to chase Chewie (18 month old Staff) around the house before leaping on him and pinning him to his bed! Currently Mikka (the Fonz of Ferrets) will give Ahsoka his best Paddington Bear hard stare and intimidate her off her bed with a look! He’s about 1.5Kg and she’s errrr 24Kg (rambler recently commented on how well fed she was muuch to Mrs M’s chagrin😁)

We have ferrets, we introduced our two staffs as pups. Ferrets tortured staffies and put them in their place. Ferrets chase staffies all over the house and intimidate them off their beds. Eventually Staffs and Ferrets reach accord.

Chewie had massive food storage mite allergy issues until we put him on raw, within weeks he’d got a layer of fat over his ribs and his coat was much better. Poo quality much improved as well.

The car went sick last week, quick google said it was likely to be; expensive, ouch or eye watering. Fortunately it was merely expensive (turbo boost sensor).

Festive dog walk today, work tmrw, maybe get a ride on Thursday/Friday

Condolences to all those that are missing family.

No outlaws, just a few friends over tmrw, all prep done, feeding Mrs M Sloe G&T’s at present. Rode over to the pub earlier on the SS, Mrs M and the hounds spanked me.

Working Boxing Day, first shift after passing out so slight trepidation there.
