Picking it up in the week. Will post some close up pics. then. Would like it to loo...
At our last visit to Whiteway Barton, Jules plucked up the courage to get out on the track and have a go at a few laps, now for those of you who weren't there, the track was riddled with pot holes, and was quite brutalised after the professionals had finished their racing, so I was very much relieved and sur...
The family and I are off to Wales for the week for a well deserved break I think. Plus the fact, it's my Uncle's wedding. I've been asked to be the media man as it were and create a video of some sort covering the day so that it can be sent to those who, for various reasons, are unable to be there. Just wondering...

Does anyone know of a stockist local to Exeter with a reaonable selection of POP rivets? and as that is a simple question to those in the know can I re post my question rudely inserted in Brian's tube thread, is it impolite to wear knobblies to Haccadon from the point of view of damage to the ground. I'll t...
There are three piles of earth across the lane at intervals,obviously dumped ready to infill deeplly eroded rutted sections of road. Unless you are riding in search of a take off ramp these may come as a nasty surprise. They will doubtless be gone before long but watch out meanwhile...
Evening all, I've been asked to create a video of my Uncle's wedding so that it can be sent to some friends and family who aren't able to attend. I've accepted and thought about how I will go about it, however, in the process, I've hit a bit of a snag. The VC I was going to use records to Mini DV and copying thos...
If after a fantastic night at Whiteway Barton this evening, anybody has got home to find they have a few things missing from their tool kit, please PM me what you've lost, and with any luck it will be what was found.

So there I was on Sunday trimming my hedge with my trusty electric hedge trimmer. Now my garden is mostly level with a steep bank at the side going down to next door. On said bank is a large viburnum which needed a bit of trim, so as I have done so many times before I leant gently over the trellis at the top to g...
Went out to Tremletts today to get a new tube for the back tyre (£16.00 fitted!) and while I was out there thought I'd stock up on consumables for the bikes as I like to have oil and filters 'in stock' as it were. Couldn't remember what oil the Husky takes so I asked John and he said Huskys take 10-60 so I took h...
OK folks, a quick thank you to the members of Devon TRF i rode with last week. Special thanks to Roger, Paul, Jim and Rob for leading the rides i was on. I still find it hard to believe how many trails there are in your county..... brilliant! As I mentioned, there is an open invite to ride the trails of North...
Saw Kev's wife Sally today. Apparently he's still got a long road to recovery and probably some more operations to repair the damage. He at home but VERY bored and would welcome phone calls or visits to break up the boredom as he's not able to do much at the moment.
After yesterday's debacle, involving a long ride and the AA, having ruined my weekend, I've decided that I no longer want to be paying money to continually fix the Urban. Don't get me wrong like, it's been a right lark owning it and it's been great for a run around the town, getting to and from work and the...

I thought I better pop my head in to say all is well up North (well North Somerset). Spring started with Ben (slick) visiting his mate Kevin in Bath...so it would be rude not to have a day out on the bikes- All these byways are within ten miles of the centre of Bath- [IMG]https://i273.photobucket.com/al...
