  1. Roc straps are good. If you want a backpack Kriega are really good. Fully waterproof.
  2. I find that any forecast further away than 24 hours is barely better than a wild assed guess. Forecasting seems to have got worse now its all being done by high powered computers. GIGO I guess.
  3. My wife's brand new car (Lexus) has no spare although there's a recess under the floor of the boot which could probably take a space server "pram" wheel type. She had a slow puncture from a nail which was repairable but KwikFit sell these at a reasonable price. She's getting one as being limited to 50 mph is better than not being able to go at all.
  4. I've got a roll bag. Can't remember the size off the top of my head but I think it's the 30 ltr one. Works well enough but I always put extra ties on.
  5. Crashes are things we go to great lengths to avoid. This one was in 2018 and killed everyone on board when it exploded. it was called the Sanchi.
  6. Well if I actually owned it apart from just being the driver maybe. Also MB's will be faster than mine in a decent breeze. Certainly accelerate faster! 0-10 in about an hour.
  7. Bit slow on the uptake. Only just noticed the wee red tanker in the background. She's a chemical products tanker heading into Ellesmere / Stanlow and called the Songa Pearl. Size wise she's 17,539 tonnes deadweight. For reference mine is 158,492 tonnes.
  8. While the weather is as crap as it is at home I'm quite happy to be away apart from the lack of flogging of course.
  9. Check your small print as it's quite possible they sneaked that in without making a noise about it. If its not mentioned pursue them and if it isn't covered then dump them as soon as you can as they're not fit for purpose.
  10. Well this has been a crap weekend. Bunged by France at the death for a penalty that wasn't and dumped out of the FA Cup by the people from Manchester. And my speeds being knocked back by a bloody big swell on the nose. Rubbish all round and I'm not allowed to flog anyone to work of my emotional angst. Capt Bligh had it alright.
  11. I'm fully aware that Perth has no sea although the Tay's pretty darned big. Dundee is not my favourite place at all but Perth is a nice town even if it doesn't have sea. I'll agree the A9 has way too many cameras. Would be a reasonable road otherwise.
  12. Trouble is on a bike you are a lot more vulnerable if the idiot rear ends you. Just take satisfaction in giving him a polite wave as you steam past when he's stuck in stationary traffic. Guaranteed to wind him or her up.
