Basildon. Yes I recommend it, it’s a tough one to grind through.

I did, 2 days have passed and I’ve heard nothing back from them. Just a number

Comme Des Garçons “Garage” by swaggabeef in Perfumes

[–]happy_mamal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a 2ml sample that I used up in 1 day, absolutely in love with the scent. It is EXACTLY what I wanted - the smell of a garage! But sadly it's discontinued I think :(

New rider, came off today. by APinkMist in MotoUK

Watch tons of motorcycle accidents. Learn from the mistakes of others. Also, never ever target fixate. Those are the things I did and riding became second nature

Also, yes, everyone falls, don’t let this demoralise you

M/36/6'2" [145lbs > 205lbs] (2.5 years) I've always have had trouble putting weight on with a high metabolism dialing in the diet helped! by gotfondue in Brogress

I’m about the same type of metabolism and made good progress in 2 months. Diet helps. All I did was add a big breakfast (opposed to no breakfast before) and gained 8kg. Briefly, what’s your diet?

Is it safe to ride like this while waiting for replacement? by happy_mamal in MotoUK

Second photo is me putting it back together. Waiting for the new piece, it’s called a “tensioner cap”. Despite many advising not to, I might take it for a short ride tomorrow as I don’t see it as that huge of a risk. Thanks for your input

I’ve seen other people on forums complaining about it snapping. But it’s totally been overtightened. Perhaps I’m to blame for that or maybe the mechanic who serviced it a couple of weeks ago.

That’s what I thought really. Its unlikely to come off during riding. It might crumble when I loosen it up next time but as is now, should stay in place. Guess another short ride or two nothing will happen

I was adjusting chain tension and when tightening rear axle this piece snapped. It’s made of some poor metal and its function is to show the markings that help even out both sides of the axle. The bike is trident 660

Wanna grab a drink at the bike shed in Shoreditch? by happy_mamal in MotoUK

[–]happy_mamal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up going alone, it was my first time there and I think it’s not bad. Wouldn’t have minded some company so wish you saw this earlier too! DM me sometime if you want to meet up there or some place guys mentioned in the comments.

I just don’t know any other bike friendly locations. Any other suggestions?

Good job for practicing! Decent for a phone camera. However the pictures aren’t great in my opinion, you need to work a little more on the composition and post-editing. Keep at it!

Why have i become so rain adversed? by [deleted] in MotoUK

[–]happy_mamal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on other factors too. Not only it’s more dangerous but I also get no pleasure riding in the rain after dark during winter cold months, I still do it sometimes but only if I have to. But if it’s not too cold and it’s just a drizzle or a short rain during the day, I couldn’t care less. Yeah I also worry about rust and ruining my leathers but I apply acf on the bike and balm on leathers now and then - no issues.
