He’s better after breaking his leg, only drove him today because yesterday he curbed a wheel in his car and it had to urgently be fixed as he couldn’t live with it. He’s not acting less like a twat since getting sick, which I suppose is a good thing? 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about what you get for your money at point-of-purchase and the Bonelli is far better value than the Honda. Now I agree, secondhand resale value is a different matter, but I’ve never bought a bike with resale value in mind. I bet you have cheap enough to buy a used one to ride to spain ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Recently found that one of my relatives was a pilot in the Second World War and he was training to fly Lancaster Bombers when he crashed on a training exercise in the north of England. He’s buried in a cemetery near to where I grew up so I went along yesterday to see it and pay my respects. From the RAF records it looks like he made a common mistake as he pulled the flaps lever instead of under carriage  lever which caused the crash. The whole crew died when the plane crashed near Doncaster at Kilham Farm. The records imply that one died instantaneously but the rest, including my relative, died the next day. What a waste. Seven lives gone by a simple error of judgement. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Stopped for a snack, it is lovely and warm, but the sea looks like it’s bringing weather in, all over the coast there are thousands of seagulls sitting on the sand looking at it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
