Last Commute

Redundancy


I'm redundant in a few day's time. I'm on 'garden leave'. The massive 30K per year mileage is at an end.

Of course, with my trade I'm likely to need to commute behemoth miles again - and soon.

hid lights kits output decreases slightly, for example, a 8000K bulb will have ten per cent less brightness than a 6000K bulb.

Buy buy Arod Yes. I'm being realistic and listing Arod for sale. It's a wrench and after several rides recently, my wrist is in pieces. There's more than one reason for shifting to DCT and the weak left hand is near top of that list. It feels disingenuous to sell the STeed. That said, after reading The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning by Margareta Magnusson, I understand the anticpation of knowing someone else will get more joy from him in a week than a month of Sundays keeping him locked away in the garage. Buy Arod - the video I used the new Insta360 Go3S in-helmet to make a quick ride video. Unfortuneately the audio doesn't work out so well with the visor up. It was a warm day and with the BikeQuip offering as much protection as it does, I couldn't keep the visor down long without suffocating. The Insta360 desktop editing app isn't the best I've played with and with an inexpert hand, I made best I could with what footage I had. Detials The ...

Sherbert drops again

Sherbert spilled me and my pillion in Chamonix on May 4 last year and almost exactly a year ago today as I write. We were reversing a U-turn out of a dead end between two barrier-controlled carparks and I lost my footing in a culvert. Old news. Today Sherbert stumbled into a crater hidden by a small van ahead of us when pulling out of a service station. I was looking for traffic left and Sherbert was steering mid-right to join the opposite lane of traffic. The front wheel followed contours into the void, caught us off balance, and gravity sucked us down onto our left side. I put in a little effort to keep upright and know when to give up. It's around the time my back and knee threaten to break. The dashcan caught my verbal effort before the language turned blue. Self righting Helping Sherbert back upright was a doddle. I only forgot to pull the handbrake before lifting. It didn't matter and could in the future. Checking for damage and again it's the front engin...

C'm'on

Speed Limits We're a Nation, if not a developed World of time watchers; speed, efficacy, ease of learning; no time, need to do it now; to have done it 10 minutes ago. A new model is coming out. It's under development but I want to see it now. Human kind is going to Mars; are they there yet? The train leaves at 0713hr (not bloody 0715; else we'll be late). Just tap those Ruby Slippers together 3 times and you'll be as good as back at home without so much as the need to blink through the transdimentional pathway as you instantaneously appear in front of your microwave to cook chips inside 3-minutes flat. This isn't a new state of society; I remember Brains Faggots* heated in a gas oven was the height of convienience in the early '70s, and to my math that'd put 60 to 70-year-oldsters in the realms of instigators of haste; the inventors of rush, and the executers of swift time. Then why must these not-yet-old teats swan about in their safe Nissan Micras at 35 a...
