Ah I've been there a couple of times now. Decent pitstop on the way somewhere. I only noticed the cafe and meeting rooms in the front place though. What's this about a complex? What did I miss whilst focusing on the panini?

My 2011 E350cdi coupe thing. In old man spec, sky blue and 17 inch wheels, heated and vented seats. Reasons: it's comfortable. It promotes a relaxed driving style. It can be nippy off the line when needed. If I could change anything it'd be the fuel type. Some of my friends drive their cars...

Terminals. :p

Damn I love bacon. I reckon if I waved some of my bacon (not a euphemism) at you from my front door it would stop you! It's some smoked streaky fancy stuff where it's six slices for too much money. I'll get started now. Let me know when you're near. :D

Ah I got a pair of those several years back as part of their kickstarter campaign. I liked them and got some replacement tips at some stage as I'd used em so much. Anyway, long story scarily short the tip came off in my ear. Thankfully I got lucky with tweezers and got it out quickly. Maybe...

I've been using https://ultimateear.com/product-category/motorcycle-ear-plugs/ (the basic squidgy model) for almost my entire biking life - apart from the first year when I did enough damage. I had them re-done maybe 5 years ago just due to paranoia about ear canals changing shape with age (i...

I always feel sorry for the wives of self-professed 'polymaths' :cry: "Gosh that crane/bridge/tower/goose looks dangerous doesn't it dear" "Well let me spend the next 45 minutes explaining why it isn't dangerous..." *** ten minutes later *** "I'll just keep quiet in future"

I struggled to get traction until I mailed their hello at octopus dot energy and then a human replied and after a bit of confusion I got stuff happening. This was for a replacement gas meter (smart leaked, replaced with dumb, cue me contacting em), although they then replaced both and updated...

I swapped out the GPR for the stock can on the CRF today. The GPR weighs 2.5kg and the oem is 4.8kg. The real benefit though is it's now very quiet! I also took off a luggage plate which saved me over a kg! Finally job was torquing the wheel spokes. Quite satisfying and they all sound nearly...

Got a little tinker to continue my journey learning to ride trails. It's got a few of the expected mods already, such as suspension sorted out. Not sure if there's anything other than those ram mount mirror things that I'll change for a while.

Nice! Those aren't oem then? Where did you get them from?

Terry's Exsanguination Team and Trail Riders Fellowship. First is a contiguous route across Europe. There's an American one too. Trails. Second is... What is sounds like :p. The primary benefit is they keep track of where it's legal to ride. But they also have active groups in every region so...

Are you saying you're waiting on the street corner with a bike? (teehee) :P I'm similarly paranoid about giving my address to buyers, though I've yet to be murdered afaik! I have auctioned a couple of things lately, which does mean a bit more pot luck over what book cover starts talking at you...

I'm also on the other side of the country... well, down in Berkshire. In a few days i'm bringing home a CRF250 Rally that's been appropriately modified. I see the TET passes near here, and I've also joined the TRF and am starting to find the 'easy' routes to try :).

If you're not reporting the car thief, I'm hoping for some trirony when he gradually steals every car from your car park. Was this his first time stealing? But nah he's just a "lad" right, so carry on. Hey OP, are you using that turf in your garden? Too late I've taken it :). I look young for...

Maybe ownership demographics. Similar happens with cars right. Kids buy the fiesta and crash it, dads buy mondeos and don't. Clever kid buys Mondeo and saves money! :) So... get a GS :p

Actually you make a claim - a statement - and then a question. All dogs have nine legs. Tell me if I am wrong? That's a bit different to "do all dogs have nine legs?" And thanks to your question mark at the end you're actually just asking someone whether they'll tell you if you're wrong. So...

You won't fool me Jan Mathiesen!

BMW Off Road Skills Simon Pavey leads it along with a bunch of awesome guides/instructors. They're partnered with BMW.

Just back from a week on some incredible trails in Portugal. It was a great way to get to know the new GS and what's possible with such a massive bike!
