The one in the middle.

I didn't particularly go for another red guitar, they just seem to be attracted to me.

I've played abused my other 12 string guitar for 30 odd years now, so no hassle.


It was going to be my little secret but since it is you that asked Nick, it will NOT be for Beatles,Byrds,Floyd,Zep or anything 'jangly' Very Happy

It will be forced to do music it wouldn't normally do.

No metal type shredding (as I can't) but angry riffage with mahoosive amounts of distortion.

You might like that Bonnevilles album I've just bought then, kind of fits that description.

Nowt wrong with experimenting with novel ideas Pat. I'd be interested to hear what you end up getting out of it.

A red light LED torch so that I can watch the three hedgehogs which visit my garden together at around 9pm every evening without, supposedly, scaring them off or ruining everyone's night vision like a white light would. We'll see. This entailed my first experience of an Amazon locker delivery at a local supermarket. Thumbs Up

Edit: Red light a great success, it doesn't scare them off, and there are four hedgehogs out there right now. Truly, I am the hedgehog whisperer.

Test ride report...

Clutch is grabby, nearly threw me off the back twice as it engaged at about 3000rpm.

Brakes are deadly sharp, almost washes the front end out underneath you, NO ABS, rear brake squeaks yet is also too much.

Mirrors are shit, dead vibey, can't see anything in them but elbow, and your hands collide with them on full lock, even worse they can't be sourced anymore.

Power delivery is undecided below 2000rpm, above that becomes a subtle thump in the face in any gear and makes the front end dangerously light, I didn't get to use 100% throttle at all, and the throttle tube is already a progressive cam to smooth out delivery so no idea how it was ridden before that mod.

In summary, it's a bucking bronco, so dangerous to the point where I have no idea why anyone would want a bike like this on the road.

I fucking loved every second.

Picking it up on Friday - so long as it's dry.
This bike will never get wet, apart from my man juices.

Seat is actually comfy once you get going, and the rest is adjustable everything so even after an hour riding it was still fairly painless.

Well you'd better stay sat down like a good little boy then.
Under no circumstances vault over the barrier, punch security in the tits and kick off an impromptu mosh-pit.

My first "proper" vice: got bored of the cheap Aldi one. Soft jaws are an additonal extra.

One bolt and it seems secure enough (3 holes on base). Not really going to be testing its limits.

Swivel head too. Impressed so far. Not bad for £35-45 (forgot exact).

I actually have that vice as well as others here. It's very handy for longer stuff which won't go sideways in a workshop.

Was in Lincolnshire, riding home to Oxfordshire. Sportsbikeshop, it turns out, is en route. Having never been there I thought it worth a look. It’s a great place, loads of stuff, food and drink, and now I have a nw helmet, which I had to bungee to the pillion seat for the ride home.

Caberg Drift Evo Carbon - I liked the look of it and it turns out it fits me well. I never wore it home because I had the Cardo comms installed in my old helmet and didn’t want to faff about moving it across, so I have no idea if it’s quiet or aerodynamic or whatever. But it looks good.

I was a little confused at first, because a pair of work pants tends to last me a year and a pair of pants to walk the dog tends to last 6 month.

But then I remembered, you mean under pants.

I'm from Halifax. Guess you're from the south.

A waterproof case for the phone.

Ghostek Nautilus 2.

The huge amount of video views on some of those channels is saddening. Most of which are mine. Embarassed

I don't get how the North has appropriated the American version of 'pants'.

Or is it they just never moved on with the rest of the country's language?
