Not coffee pods but Podcasts. What do you listen to? My current top five are: The Rest is Politics - Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart The Eggchasers Rugby Podcast - Tim Cocker, JB and Phil Our Fake History - What Most People Think - Geoff Norcott The Blame Game - BBC Radio Ulster I listen to loads more but these are my first pick to listen to when they drop in the feed.

Top of The Lake On UKTV Play. Bloody good. Series 2 especially.

£9677. I like the new Trans Alp better, that new strom appears huge in the flesh, long bike.

16KG each fully loaded, no, narrower than the bars. Either ride in the cold and wet or not at all, tis a factor of the ride not a reason not to go.

I went out this morning, not really for any reason apart from to run a couple of errands. Anyway I found myself up on the Moor so took a couple of photos. Then rode back through the Glynn Valley to Bodmin the the A30 to St Columb and Damerells. I needed to book my 600 mile service for the Hornet. Funny when I headed out wet, slippery and wobbly by the time I got back it had dried up and it is amazing how confidence grows when there is more grip. Felt properly cold though, thank goodness for heated grips.

Can’t wait to read about it and see the photos. Have a great trip

I worked 70/80 weeks during the pandemic people were dying in unprecedented numbers. Pointless going on about it some won’t listen or believe but we dealt with it first hand. I know what happened. It was real.

I agree, sadly, but it does make the bike infinitely more practical for me. Mine was bought to used all the time so I have to be able to carry stuff. Oh and I found the fixings for the top box mount plate so that can go on again just for the full pipe and slippers vibe.

I get that you are making the right decision for you. Not sure I could do the same.

Right ruined the look of the Hornet for practicality. This will give you lot a laugh I can't find the bolts to fit my Givi mount for the top box. . They will turn up I am sure but still a pisser. I had the sense to put the mount in the box itself why the feck I didn’t put the fixings in there as well I don’t know.

I think you have made the right decision life is to short to give cunts like that any power over you. There is work out there and I am sure you will find it.

That is sad mate, I really sympathise with your situation. I couldn't imagine life without a dog.

Out and about this morning with the Dear Boy. Only Winsen left in the bay this morning. Celtic Endeavour is in the port up on No 8 jetty. Look for the green dot in the river, that is CE.

I am lucky my Honda dealer is as good as gold. I do get what you are saying though, I have done just that for years it's just I have the new bike bug, I don't want to tinker I just want to press the button and go at the moment. I am sure I will get off the new bike treadmill at some point. I actually want a VFR800 to go with my Hornet but I know for me having more than one bike is a slippery slope. Cause then I would want a CRF and a and maybe a beta and another aircooled Beamer, etc etc. Oh and I love the new Triumphs and would really like one, but some many bikes so little time

Yep, don't know where though. He did tell me but it was in one ear out the other.

Funnily enough that's where I am at the moment, I got 3 months free with an Apple purchase. I liked the Greyhound with Tom Hanks, I am working through Invasion but not even sure I like that. I think I will go back to For All Mankind which I thought was ok. Not overly impressed with Apple TV, can't imagine paying for it.

Me neither now, I will never darken their door again. If that is how they treat you when you want to spend money imagine the response if you had a problem with the bike. I was told but didn't listen about the Plymouth Dealership. A mate of mine dropped his new Tiger in spain and smashed it up. The next time he went into Plymouth to replace the smashed Tiger the salesman shouted across the showroom room: "Here he is for another Tiger, I wonder if it will last more than two weeks this time". He walked and went and bought a Ducati Multistrada.

Yeah they wouldn't see the irony in that. Triumph of Plymouth offered me a full £800 less than I got on a trade in for my CB500 against my Hornet. I was looking at either a Trident 660 or possibly a Tiger 660. Like you say they can sell pretty much everything they have so they take the piss big time. Also with me they refused to confirm the offer in an email and said the offer was dependant on a full inspection in the workshop of my bike. So I can bet they would have tried to pay less. Plus they were just fucking rude. There I feel better now I have that off my chest

I think they were just out of stock. The CB500 ones came in 2 or 3 days.

Yeah it's a SW Motech rack and pannier frames Ordered on the 26th of October and finally just turned up.
