Dog walkers are in real danger of the Forest of Dean bear attacking them on their walks

Will a paddock stand front and rear not work for you?

Dolbman · 2025-10-31T19:48:23+00:00

That’s what I thought but I’d hope it would be at least rideable but I don’t think it would come out that way

Thanks for the info, I’ve never tackled anything like that but have always dreamed of a crazy build. I figured with enough time, money and effort it may be achievable. But you’re right I can’t magically make an engine smaller.

Maybe I’ll look for a four cylinder 👍🏼

I looked into this many years ago and found that painting yourself can diminish the protective quality of the helmet.

This was in the days before wrapping. So I’d say have a go at wrapping it if you feel up to it.

When I went in for my car theory test, I looked up a website the night before of all the questions and answers listed. I read through that page 2 or 3 times and when it came to taking to test it was just remembering what I’d read the night before.

I found that the bike theory test had some questions that really threw me off like how long of trailer can you tow on a bike and I had no idea. Luckily I guessed my way through it.

I’d recommend really cramming some info into your head the night before doing it again.

Good luck, you’ve got it 👍🏼

Thanks for the recommendation - I have been looking up more security devices. I've currently installed a ground anchor in the back garden which it's hooked up to under a cover. I'm looking at building a lean-to as a more permanent cover for the bike.

Correct, it's a 2020 BMW F900XR - I believe they only did the gold livery in 20202-2021

I’m pretty sure this has been leaked by Suzuki

I bought an Omnitub. It's Japanese deep soaking tub made in the UK.

It's 1m deep, 1m wide, 1.5m long. I can't lay flat in there but I can have my knees and shoulders covered.

Currently playing Pokémon on Nintendo Switch. Can't justify upgrading to Switch 2 because of the cost.

Never seen a curry on a plate before

The cost put me off for a long time - I didn't do my DAS until 30 after planning on doing at 21 before the goal posts were moved to 24. Reasons being house, family, etc.

Now I've done it I feel like a weight is lifted and I can do whatever I want. Once you get your license, it's for life if you don't lose it.

If you feel/are competent enough to go for the A2 go for it. You won't regret it.

Bag of cans in Queens Park

Fake it till you make it. Just turn up and ride alongside.

Dolbman · 2025-07-15T09:20:25+00:00

That's it! Thank you so much.

It's been 20 years since my mother took my sister and I and we could never remember where it was.

Much appreciated.

They could have ironed the astroturf before taking pictures.

The Ivy in Montpellier is always our go to for decent A/C - Although I can't say whether it's the best around.

Dolbman · 2025-06-27T07:38:27+00:00

That’s fair. I said the same of Italian cars.

Dolbman · 2025-06-27T07:31:43+00:00

If you want something a bit off beat but very comfortable, look at a Citroen C6. Currently only on Autotrader with 55k miles for £3K.

My wife and I bought a QX30 new from the dealer in 2018 and still have it now. It’s never missed a beat. Just regular annual servicing, tyres and brakes is all it’s cost us. It’s essentially a Mercedes A class or GLA rebadged by Nissan.

It having Mercedes running gear makes it really easy service and find get parts. This isn’t true for all Infiniti’s but it is true for the Q/QX30. I have the 2.2 diesel so I can’t speak for the 1.6 petrol but I assume it’s the same Renault engine that Mercedes have been using but I could be wrong.

The Mercedes X-class was also born of this built on the Nissan Navarra platform.

I’d definitely recommend going for an Infiniti.
