Queen Is Dead- The Smiths
Lust For Life-Iggy Pop
Dig! Lazarus,Dig!- Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
But,it’ll be different tomorrow.

Could be a number of things;wheels out of balance,warped disc/discs,or uneven tyre wear. Get it to your local tyre fitter(not Kwikfit,or any of the other nationals and ask them to sort it (cheapest option first).

Milk in last. Bog roll on the outside. Them’s the rules.

200 and something quid on Hope 4 LED light. I had serious reservations about spending so much on a light,but spending so much has encouraged me to miss no Tuesday night rides this winter. Good lights,dead reliable and no faffing……and I’ve never been so fit at this time of year……..

For ****’s sake!! Haven’t we got a moderator?

The fast Audis are great cars,but if ANYTHING needs replacing it’s mega bucks…..and they have attracted an unenviable image.
If you can live with the fuel economy get a fast Subaru any model will do.Great to drive, ultra reliable and soooo cheap……shame the Mrs doesn’t like Mondeos though…..Any particular reason,or is it just daft snobbery?

Titanic,Captain Smiths…..brewed just up the road in Boslem.

If you like it,it doesn’t matter if it’s in vogue ,or not.

I don’tmind trail centres occasionally,but it would do me head in,riding ’em reguarly…..follow the arrows???

Trimix,is dead right. There are too many car manufacturers,making too many cars and especially too many different “types” of cars. Niche markets,soft roaders blah,blah blah. A Ford Focus(or equivalent) is all most of us need.

Should I be happy about moving to Glasgow? No!

Step On- The Happy Mondays
Fine Time-New Order
I Am The Resurection-Stone Roses
Should I Stay,Or Should I Go- The Clash
Dig,Lazarus,Dig! -Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds.
Definitely no Quo,or Hi Ho Silver lining!!

Plenty within riding distance.

B. A. Nana thanks for the Crass photo,I saw ’em twice at Tunstall Town Hall. I think The Fatal Microbes were supporting.
Tis is a great thread;from Queen/Status Quo to Tricky. something for everybody.
What’s the best band you’ve never seen (from your era) mine,Talking Heads.

Yeti 575

Substance?? Compilations don’t count! Try Technique,every track’s a coconut. ….And not one mention of Joy Division?? Unknown Pleasures and Closer should be in every music lovers collection

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Trentham Gardens 1976. Not my favourite band at the time,but a real rite of passage. I was so surprised that my fairly strict parents allowed me to go.

bloody hell there’s some shite mentioned above….Keane??? Is you for real?
Lust For Life- Iggy Pop. Not the best album in me collection,but my favourite.

BETD,it’s the only place to go……….

I gave up the motorbikes years ago. I’ve got two kids and I would take them as pillion.Can remember riding pillion on my Uncle’s scooter,I must have been about 5,or 6. Loved it,which lead to me yearning for a motorbike of my own,until I finally got one.

I change tyres when they’re shagged. Got a Kenda Dread tread on the back(so far,so good) and a Maxxis Medusa front,which has coped very well all through the winter. Both 2.1

Smart bike. Shite mudguard. Bin it!

Shiny…..what a nice bike!

whyte 19,two of our lot have them. Nice bike!

Lisa Stansfield was a stunner…..I like the accent!

Easily fixed. Better than knackering your back….knees…..ankles..well you get the idea.

Jane Horrocks is irritating,but can’t blame her for taking the Tesco brass.

The C30 is the more stylish of the two. However,if you need to carry anything in the boot,you will struggle.

There’s a lass round our way with an orange,Orange 5,it looks fantastic. They’re popular in the Stoke area.A very capable bike.

This is from a middle aged man that’s never left Stoke-on-Trent. There are pros and cons for living in any area,not just London. If I was in your situation,with that job offer,I’d be there like a shot. It is one of the best cities in the world…..doesn’t necessarily mean the end to the loneliness problem though.
Good luck with what ever you decide.

Both of the above are good fun. More riding at Penmachno.

We just stayed local,Hanchurch,Keele and Apedale on the 575( my only bike). Kev was out on his new mega-light Cube….There’ll be no living with him now!

Hideous! Only joking….each to his own etc….

That does look nice!

Northwave for me too. We’ve rode every Tuesday night this winter in some grim conditions.Dry,warm and comfortable. Recomended.

We’re all different. i’m a window cleaner and was back at work quickly,but there was the occasional twinge.My father-in-law had his fixed a bit earlier than me and his popped again.
I have occasional pain for no apparent reason. i’m late forties,reasonably fit…..but not fell running fit…

The Honda S2000. Crazy,non-turbo engine,lively handling. Cheaper,more reliable than a Boxster.

My 575
