We use merc sprinter vans with a Luton box and tail lift, we needed to replace one and it was a right pain finding one for reasonable money.
My advice is look everyday and be ready to buy, the odd one does come up privately for reasonable money but you need to be quick

If they don’t respond then the judgement will ultimately go in your favour, when I don’t know, if you’ll ever see your money is pretty unlikely

I’ve been in the van and car with my gf a fair bit the last week with her driving, and Jesus H Christ. Her awareness and anticipation is bloody terrible, now I know as motorcyclist our awareness is probably well above average, but she scares me. It wouldn’t surprise me if she runs out of luck and ...

I think it would be “How to fuck up any opportunity 1990-1999”

Pretty much full marks on that

Today I have been on a speed awareness course, riveting stuff.

Just occurred to me that Claudia Winkleman and Alice Cooper have never been seen together in the same room

If it was only £135, I'd have just gone out and tried riding in the rain and testing the tyres in safe environment

They are always better than us Muppets sat aboard :D


New supercorsas aren’t renowned for their wet weather grip.
I’ve no wets on wheels with the new bike, but to rub it in my ...

It was £135 today, only 40 riders booked on of which 22 turned up. Not massive money, their safety briefing video is all about having a safe, fun day, seems they forgot the safe bit today

Been to Snetterton today, standing water all over the track and still raining hard, didn’t even noise test the bike.
An instructor stated to us that it was dangerous, even on full wets his bike was spinning up with the slightest touch of the throttle.
MSV have told us that the track was fine to ...

I refuse to sit in the evening wrapped up when we have a perfectly good heating system.
I serviced the boiler yesterday as it was being a bit shitty, new solenoid, photocell, oil line and blast tube gasket, followed with a good clean out and all is good.
I’m outdoors all day, I’m not coming home to ...

I honestly don’t think I’ve had an alcoholic drink this year. I’m not teetotal but just not bothered by it, I find drinking at home a strange idea and as I don’t really go out to places where drink is involved it just passes me by.

Born last Saturday morning, about an hour old in this picture - meet Reggie.

My thoughts are as you are no longer vat registered you can’t collect vat on the sale.
I’d be selling for cash and keeping quiet.

As instructors, part of our job was to watch for folk who were trying to be big fish in small pond.


Lol have a word, I've seen every track day full of complete wankers doing shit undertakes and cutting up groups. It's very very rare to see people moved. I've even complained about some and ...

What day are you going? I’m booked on the 28th july

Bit late, she died last December.

All the news outlets must be wrong then.

My area of expertise!!

As a window cleaner of over 20 years I’d suggest getting hold of some pure water and good quality micro fibre cloths (don’t wash with detergent).

If you feel the need to use anything else try UBIK 2000, dilute it down as per the instructions. It’s good for cleaning nearly ...

Last one - this is Flo, 8 years old now, daughter of Bria, mother to Bilbo, Bella and jasper.
Flo is a full 50/50 springador, happy for affection and will sleep all day like a lab, but is crazy and unhinged when out in the fields running.

I’ll do horses another time if anyone’s ...

This is Bria (daughter of Lilly (above)), I lost Bria last September, it broke my heart, I had to take 3 days off work.
She is the best dog I’ve ever had, fast, athletic and brave, but also the most gentle and loving dog, I would’ve have trusted her with a new born baby.
Everyone ...
