A friend of mines boss is mad keen on them so for Christmas he gave them all a 5k ebike. He quite liked it and kept it in the hallway of his house, not a shared hallway, the hallway of his detached house. He doesn't lock his front door when he's home and yep you guessed it, someone let themselves in while he was there and nicked it. 

Prat didn't have any house insurance either.

Idiot. No sympathy for people like that.

I started the stripping it was hard on me really like this bike :classic_sad: just got to keep telling myself the new one will be better.  So far I've removed the oversize tank, rad guards, swing arm protectors, spot lights heated grips, 12v socket outlet, sump guard and mirror. All i have left is the front and rear springs to remove but it is as i want it to take it to the bike shop to get a proper price for the part ex. Everything except the oversize tank will fit the new bike so that will be up for sale so i can put it towards a big tank for the new bike that's the plan anyway.

Now i'm moody as fuck, so moody I've been snoozing anyone on my Facebook page for 30 days that mentions the 20mph speed limit as that's all I've been seeing on there for the last month and it's pissing me off :classic_laugh:

I have that affliction.  Inherited from my father the crap he kept just in case he needed it.  I am exactly the same.   😳

Oh i know all about that my old man takes it to another level, he still has wood laying under cover he stripped out of Quakers Yard grammar school which closed in 1967, when my parent pass on there's going to be a hell of a task to get rid of all the crap he's collected

My dad passed on in 1998 but I remember the monumental task of sorting his stuff out.
I’ll give you a taster, when I was 17 I had a Citroen Dyanne.  Both doors were rusted through on the drivers side so I got two replacements from a scrappy.    Going through his stuff he still had the rusty doors from the Dyanne.  
He was a boatbuilder/builder, I have enough tools to fit out  2 or 3 workshops.

Good luck with all that stuff! 😆

My dad has a tip obsession so if it stands still and doesn't prove it's worth in a few seconds it can go to the dump. 

So now almost no children photos exist, it's minimalism in the extreme 😂

I was up at 6 this morning to go out on the bike as the forecast last night said it was going to be dry until 11 this morning, guess what it hasn't stopped raining since i got up and it felt cold in the house so I've lit the fire

There's always a yin for your yan, at least you won't get done for doing 23mph

Dad in law disposed of very little....garage was full of crap...wouldn't throw it away, just incase it came I  handy later........never did.

He did dispose of a Singer car (in the 1960,s) by burying it in a hole he dug at the top of his garden...😂

I decided to go to M&P in Swansea in the marmite wagon for a run as i need a new helmet for trail riding, i'd like to say the 20mph speed limit was a pain in the arse but i can't because it didn't affect me once, what did affect me though was M&P's being shut on a Sunday now FFS so went for dinner instead
