Will order some tonight, anyone has any recommendations for rain plastic pants and jacket? I have been using Richa gear through the last UK winter, totally dry and not ridiculous price.

Mr Slowly occasionally uses a Richa waterproof jacket and it is a good jacket. Well made and does the job. Only problem with it is it's lined so it's thick. This makes it warm (too warm for Spain) and it's bulky ie doesn't pack down small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I have a very nice set of Alan keys. With one missing. Just one. Drives me nuts. JUST PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU GO IT FROM, ITS NOT THAT DIFFICULT. I have a second secret tool kit they don't know about 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are talking at cross purposes, when you mentioned lining I thought you were talking about this sort of thing. To be fair though I am wearing my Richa Leather and Aussie Bikers textile most of the time now it’s hot. Look Pete Allen keys 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screen came off quite easily.......but then it was taking out the bolts on the bracket that's fitted on the bike! I'm sure you won't be surprised that I had to call the wife in! Lining the holes up on the mobile bar with the holes on the bracket was a nightmare......but eventually we got the damn thing on! Next stage......mounting the mobile holder on the bar! Point of order, this should be in the Motorcycle workshop section. Sort it out ........... .. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Had a video meeting about the cost of replacing the kitchen in the flat I want for my sons. Went well apart from A, the cost.

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 @boboneleg I did not know the oldest Methodist meeting place is smack bang in the centre of Bristol???! How does a place that big disappear in the centre of the shops? World in Bristol for over 20 years so I find that unbelievable. A 'library' of 9000 books of the methodist religion and a room of worship replete with benches dating from the 1700's tucked behind Boots chemist?!! Crazy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you use to be able to get a nice cup of tea in the chapel.
