What have you done to your bike today....

[The Departed]

So gear oil then wurth dry lube - which is what I use now.

Interestingly the test is ref all seasons not just fair weather riders.

I didn't think that the gear oil was shown to be a great option in that video - Catches sand and grit, flings off badly, offers little rust protection (because it flings off) and needs very regular application because it flings off.

It's a little all over the place when you watch it through. Glad I'm just keeping with the wurth wax.

She came out today for a warm up. Looking good.

Hasn’t moved in 4 days so stuck it on the charger as Sod’s Law my daughter will be in labour imminently and Supergramps will be on extended duty….

Checked ahead of possibly using for trip to Ldn - will make final decision car/bike tomorrow when I get up and check weather.

I've been using Wurth Dry Lube for a couple of years now, their Brake & Chain Cleaner is good too

Wurth stuff is one of the rapidly diminishing brands that actually carry any weight. You may be able to find a cheaper samesame but you can be sure it'll do the job you bought it for.
Which is becoming unusual.

I have Wurth dry lube and a few Wurth box consumables connectors ect ect and I like them they are decent quality

As you're a respected elder of the forum I'll just point out you've left an open fucking goal there.

Do your flies up son

Yup deffo an own goal there as pointed out @chas don't know about the respected bit though, Dry lube eliminates over sloppy decks as they say

When it comes to the nuts an bolts stuff I'll always doff my hat. I know fuck all, just picked stuff up along the way. My youngest asked me once when I was fixing the fridge door back on 'Dad, how do you know how to fix stuff?' and my reply was 'people who know stuff will usually tell you what they know. If they don't tell you it usually means they don't really know either. I know stuff because I ask people who do know stuff'.

You're one of those people Don.

But we now know you favour talc over vaseline . Swings and roundabouts mate

Not only were you permitted to breed. But your offspring are perpetuating the problem!

Only kidding mate. Congratulations in advance for becoming a gramps again

Breeding. You have it or you don’t . Choice simply does not arise.

Well a bit of rain today but should be OK for the return journey.

So that's me going on the bike then!

Cos in the car it's a journey, but anytime out on the bike is an adventure

Today I have thought mostly about selling the Bonnie,I think the Matchless will do me for the foreseeable future and if it turns out not to be then I will swap it in on something else. Had the Bonnie for over 8 yrs,Which is a record for me (usually keep em about 18mths.) But the time has come for a lighter bike and speed plays no tune on my heart strings anymore,I just want to get out and enjoy my last few years of biking,lots to see around the UK and I'm looking forward to some exploring during my retirement,

You'll wait till the Matchbox is on the road though, surely?
