martc Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Lots of interesting things about a modern day Bajaj. + The vendor is a gent, a minister no less, and has been incredibly patient. Which Minister was it? Boris Johnson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Shall I go fetch bike trailer and do a reccy mission following map further up?

Mally Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Is that your coat in the pez station shot or some sort of snazzy leg warmer affair? I wondered about that, looks like leg warmer.Not sure about the stirrup though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabergé Greggs Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 I wondered about that, looks like leg warmer.Not sure about the stirrup though.Aye it's a cosy waterproof leg warmer complete with bib to keep the cold and wet off your chest. I hate it but it's soooo practical, it means I can commute in only jeans (well, not only jeans) all through winter. The stirrup is for a lock to stop people thieving it.

bub2006 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 After spending many years in all weather's doing domiciliary care work on two wheels I have come to the theory that regardless how you look, warmth and keeping dry is key to safe riding as well as the obvious safety of protective gear too. When you get a puddle of water round your knackers it really freezes you up! Nothing more dangerous than being frozen or sodden to affect concentration AMC Rebel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabergé Greggs Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Well flipping LOLS. "suspect quality electrics" equates to a highly complex selection of electrical faults on the way to work at 7:30 this morning- no electric start, dead battery, non functioning left and right indicator varying between staying on and not going on at all, randomly intermittent headlight. I actually cannot believe that it held on for all of yesterday with out any of this happening. I reckon that if the vendor prayed for me, it was clearly only up until midnight. Cuts and all that... It's a good job I've got another one. The Autoshite solution. Dick Longbridge, Cavcraft, Jim Bell and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
