What's Boiling Your Pi$$ Today?

Renamed to what?
The "George Floyd"...... Head, Arms..... Knee!

"The Bewdley Inn". Fucking cop out................

Another bloody puncture. Metzeler screw magnets!

Pity it wasn't a wee screw. If it had only been a little one it wouldn't have gone all the way through that chunky tread.

 

[Tallpaul]

It was a wee one! 10 x 3.5

So did it achieve full penetration? Hard to gauge from the photos but it doesn't look as if it would have gone deeper than the tread block.

Severe "Snowflake" Warning.
Lifton is a small village just over the border in Devon (about 4 miles from me)
In that village is a lane called Darkey Lane.... You've guessed it. Someone has complained, and they want it renamed
You couldn't FUCKING make it up.

'Offensive' road could be renamed

The road in the quaint village near the Devon and Cornwall border had originally been a sunken and tree-lined dark lane, hence its name

Piss has boiled
And evaporated

Result, the people of Lifton Devon overwhelmingly object to renaming DARKEY LANE. The people of the south west have seen the light and objected to this fuckin WOKE nonsense

Controversial road will not be renamed

The majority of residents in Darkey Lane voted to retain its name

Yes, when I unscrewed it, there was a slight leak. I had to open it all out to plug it.

That's a good looking tyre..I wanna replace the tyres on my bike for something in between a road and off road tyre...
Too many of the roads and lanes where I live are just too bloody risky on normal road tyres...

I'm still running my bike with a plug in the rear tyre from last summer...

Trying to get a fair price for rear brake pads and possibly discs for the Duckmobile...
Most the sites I've searched say they got em but then it turns out they don't actually have the specific ones for my car and what they do have they are advertising falsely...
WANKERS....
Then when I find somewhere that does know what it's talking about they try to mix different makes of disc and pads and try to con you into thinking its x amount of pounds which is over the top but you know they got you by the bollox and then double the price....
WANKERS...
I need to go in person to one of these shops...see em try and con me then...
WANKERS

You won't go wrong with EBC pads/discs.

Discs...

Part Number : D1050. EBC Automotive brake rotors are made from G3000 spec cast iron. Every EBC rotor is runout inspected. Premium Brake Discs (OE). Unlike 90% of the Brake Market this is no cheap import brake disc.

Pads...

EBC DP1731 Brake Pad Set | eBay

You must follow social distancing guidelines when collecting and Inspecting your order.

www.ebay.co.uk

Approx £70 all in inc p+p. Message both sellers with your VIN number to double check the fitment.
If you'll be fitting them yourself? Bear in mind that the pistons may need to be rotated in order for them to retract? Rather than simply being compressed back into the calipers.
You can purchase a kit to do this for very little money.

Reminds me of "piss boiling event" a couple of days ago!
Bought some EBC pads for the Himalayan, but for the life of me could not remember where I put the fuckers!
So ordered a another set another £20 odd quid....

Went to look for some electrical bits in my old work bits box ....
Yep you guessed it, the original EBC pads were in there with sockets crimps etc.

WANKER why the fuck did I put them in there...... haven't worked for over four years!

Bet it was er' indoors!

This is an old Metzeler Tourance which a mobile fitter sorted me with last September on our way home from Scotland, not a popular tyre when current and certainly not my first choice , but the only one available on the day. It was a fencing staple that buggered the original tyre. The bike came with Tourance Next, a better tyre. And now, Metzeler have announced the Tourance next 2, so if you fancy that style, make sure you get the latest incarnation. There is a huge choice of adventure tyres, so check out some reviews.

 

[MartytheMartian]

Hmmm the fact that you have now had two of these tyres punctured would put me off them @Tallpaul sounds like they are prone to picking up foreign objects.

I had a letter from the courts yesterday about my divorce..It goes before a judge in Feb...
Great..About bloody time..Then it says its gotta be done on a bloody computer via a video Web camera bollox...I ain't got any of that shit...
So that put me in a bad mood..I was late for work and put me foot down in the Duckmobile ranting and raving about blinking computers and judge's being perverts and they can shove the bloody computer where the sun don't shine and went straight through a speed camera..so now they can shove that where the sun don't shine too

Oh and the bloody wife pleaded poverty and I just saw this...


A second company van belonging to her company with advertising on it for other companies she got dibs in and she's pleading bloody poverty and I heard is after 25% of my measly £300 a week wages...They can all piss off the lot of em..

These are the two possible pad types for the rear of the Jaaaaaaag...

Send me your VIN number when you finish work. I should then be able to tell you for certain which type is suitable.
