I gave up biking

Nice photo. That's a good looking bike!

If my next MoT goes as well as yours I'll be pleased.

Well there were a few battles after the mot fail, like trying to fit the new throttle cables and the side of the pulley snapped off... BUT 10.30 this morning she got an mot.

Well done. It's great to see how well your "giving up biking" is going!

Not been out for a while, work, rehearsals, commitments, weather.
Had a good few great weather days... Still can't go out.
Local bike stealing/burning scum issues... Small park in front of our house, last four days around 16.30 they are in there on crossers and quads until 19.00.
101 has been called, nothing.
I don't even want to start the vfr in the garden let alone go out on it when they are there.
Really pissing me off.

Sounds like this will be a £600 bike with a £600 bill to get through the MOT and another £600 to sort out the other issues. Then of course you need a shed, that'll be £600 as well please Sir.

Still, you can tell the wife it's only a £600 bike...
