Sheesh, the Guerilla Bodge Army's cover is blown.

Didn't work too well coming back out, though. When it entered the water I half-expected a flash, a bang, a puff of smoke and the canopy shooting off with him leaping out with his ar5e on fire.

55? Bleedin' youngsters. I'm not of bus pass age yet, but not far off. Still crack on whenever I can, though. Feck age - it's a state of mind.

Me too. I'm determined to be less of a fair-weather rider this year and not stow the bike away for the winter. Means wrapping up well and getting some use out of the various items of water/wind proof apparel I bought over the last couple of years with the intention of doing that.

I see the wire support now - it would seriously need that and it strikes me as an afterthought when they realised that heavier loads would just cause the holder to swivel on the round bars, way beyond the ability of the clamp to tighten enough.

That's probably fine for a display or lights, but what makes me laugh is their assertion the daft little clamp will hold a laden bag.

Something like NeverWet is designed for an occasional protection in the event of being caught out by a heavy shower, etc and would need re-proofing every so often. It's no substitute for a proper waterproofing job, using mechanical or goopy means.

I've been a fan of trashy fiction and sci-fi for decades. I like stuff that's been reasonably well researched and holds water (ie, doesn't burst the bubble of suspension of disbelief), especially technically based stuff. Nothing boils my pee more than an author who's just jumped on a bandwagon...

With home brew, I still can :)

... the public toilet facilities have a tremendous view.

It's just another ebay/Paypal/Courier rip-off. Buy goods from the US, most of which, being used and under a certain value wouldn't attract any interest from the C&E anyway, even if they were dutiable. But no, some bright spark at ebay was appraised of this money-earner by another bright spark at...

I thoroughly agree with you. 'Normal' flashing is fine, although there would come a point where some flashing would be irritating and distracting.

That's Darwin for you. I only hope they didn't breed.

How refreshing to see a level crossing where people are treated as non-idiots, and not too stupid to take any responsibility for themselves.

Or at least be riding with a strangely cheesy grin.

I like the SA hub gear used the way it is. Never thought of that.

Same here; I missed it again.
