Yeah it's very different - the LSD on the front makes it a handful, torque steer when you least expect it. Definitely the most fun daily I've ever had, surprisingly comfortable and economic when you need it, too - a run to Scotland two weeks ago saw 51mpg and my arse wasn't too numb either
-
Today was reserved for pressure washing and sanding fences. These photos show why that didn't happen. Fun little drive out around the Brecons today, though the weather was so terrible it wasn't a particularly fast one. Nice to clear the head anyway. Also, the internet was right - 5.5k miles on this since December and the front tyres need replacing already!

It did, actually! I can start claiming child benefit again - I had to pay back £1,300 in January and I have probably another £900 to pay back, but as of April I can claim it again!

Anyone have experience of keeping algae / green crap away from paving slabs? It seems the more I pressure wash them, the quicker it comes back again. If you Google it, you just get loads of adverts rather than actual advice. I cleaned the whole garden about 3 months ago and now it looks like an abandoned property already... Any tips??

I've never really "got" gravel bikes, but that was bloody impressive. Nicely shot too.

I got a new car on Monday, she's on 220 miles now, 380 to go until the break-in procedure is complete... Super heavy steering, rock solid suspension and in N mode it does pops & bangs (Subtle ones though, not like the Focus wanker-map bangs). Great fun and an easy way to build my arms up a bit - after an hour of driving they ache like mad 😂

Sadly not, Twitch are pretty strict on boob action - you'll have to sub to my OnlyFans instead if you want the premium content!

I'm gradually getting more into the smart home stuff, but certainly nowhere near "full". I have smart bulbs so I can turn them on by voice or app (And a cool feature to have them randomly turn on and off when I'm away, to make it look like someone's home). I also have Alexa controlled LED Govee lights that I've set up on Twitch so that people can redeem channel points to control them too, really cool but a little unreliable so far. The lights themselves are good, but the link between them and my stream is patchy. Definitely going to look at other stuff, but I don't want to go so far that an internet outage makes my house unusable.

I had a Cannondale full susser which was great fun, but really only good at going full whack (Well, my version of full whack) down trails... Not so good on climbs and certainly no good for any sort of trialsy moves. I broke it down and built a "hardcore hardtail" with the parts, so I now have a hardtail with 150mm travel. It's obviously more harsh on a red trail, but I much prefer the control / feel.

What are some moves you choose not to do with your age/injury?
MadManMike replied to Sam Song's topic in Trials Chat
This post got me thinking about Trials Forum from back in the day... When I joined, lots of people were wondering what to do when they leave college. These days we're talking about kids going to college and how our joints ache. Mad how long this place has been around really -
I make an effort to be a bit more positive these days, but it's hard to disagree with you here.

Another courier related scam is where they say they'll send a courier who will give you cash. They'll then follow up with you needing to pay insurance before the courier arrives, but they will cover it - for example if you're selling something for £5000, they say they will give you £5200 cash if you can pay the £200 insurance up front. Of course, no courier ever arrives and you've just given away £200.

Just post the spam link and get banned, no point dragging it out 😂

lol, I looked at it and thought "holy shit! $100! how on earth is it that cheap?!" Then noticed it's actually $2k. I wouldn't want a throttle version, so it'll be interesting to see what the pedal assist version costs - probably the same I'd imagine.

Most festivals have a Facebook group associated with them and you often see solo folk posting, so maybe you could meet a couple of other like-minded solos and make new friends there?
