My 15year old kawk Z1000 flew through it's Mot. Time for a few beers and a head ache tomorrow.

Great night last night seeing the Wailers - well the son of the original bassist and assorted other musicians at Indigo in the 02 Ldn.

Not the usual type of venue or gig I go to, but a blinding night - really mixed crowd, everyone knew all the words and the atmosphere was like everyone was on E, but they weren't - really sweet

Only went because me sister had been encouraging me to go for ages, she's seen them before, so that was a first too - going to a gig with me sister, cousin and their friends.

The smell from my newly mown lawns

Can’t beat it

They look shit though, need to learn how to grow grass

 

[MartytheMartian]

My grass has all drowned and is yellow where it hasn't disappeared altogether thanks to almost permanent standing water we have had in the garden all autumn and winter. The soil around here is absolute terrible for drainage and it doesn't help that I couldn't give a damn about the garden apart from trying to keep it 'presentable'.

We’re a bit waterlogged around here too

Probably explains the state of mine…..

@MartytheMartian & @Old Nick

I have a one word suggestion for you lads..."slabs"

Concrete ones that never need mowing

 

[MartytheMartian]

Oh I'm sorely tempted @DD67 there is plenty of natural 'garden' outside my front door and so I don't need one by any stretch but the wife keeps trying to persuade me that I should get the garden 'looking nice' so that we can sit on that day or two every year when the sun shines.

Most of the back and half the front is exactly that Jez concrete and slabs

And the little bit of lawn I have is awful

Tell Mrs Marty that you can all sit in a garden even if it doesn't contain grass or plants etc mate. Especially when you have so much greenery on your doorstep.

After the Man-Cave build, our garden is much smaller than it was, & it was never big.
But it still happily accommodated approx 30 folk for my 50th Birthday celebration.
With the added bonus that they weren't dragging mud into the house.

I'm biased though, cos I feckin hate gardening!

95% of my property is gravelled and a small patch of grass remains I tell the wife it's a nature reserve like setaside and I am helping the bee's and bugs so can't over cut it

Flip down sunvisors on modern crash helmets are a real boon.

Talking of visors on helmets..
Mine is all scratched up and when it's dark I can't see shit through it..
Can you get replacement visors??
If so how easy are they to replace??
Is it better to just buy another helmet??

Yes you can get replacement visors, what helmet is it? and how old will depend on if it's worth replacing

I needed one and when I saw it was £30 I junked the lid and bought a new one. And because I wanted a new brain bucket.

I go along with that. I got an open face lid with one. Not so good for night riding though.

Funnily enough especially in low Winter sun.
