Yes of course

So my beloved BMW Z4 went for an MOT today, its 2009 but is in excellent condition with full BMW service history. So for the first time since i have had her it came back as a fail. Front near side shock leaking, needs replacing. Now this car is a straight 6 3l twin turbo putting out 400bhp. But that's not the bad part, it has fully adjustable active suspension. Getting a replacement aftermarket is like rocking horse poo and costs £800 just for the shock. So i face a bill for £1k just to replace a shock. Damn, it took a while to sink in. But she is beautiful.

going to a club water this weekend for a few nights, hopefully it cools a little by then.

cant argue with that but i have so many favourites (Valentines Day, my December, Lying from you, little things give you away, figue.09, final masquerade, i could literally go on. But Numb is right up there, love it) My son struggles to accept a new singer such is his love for Chester (he is only 16), but i quite like two faced.

They are still the first band on my playlists. Love them. They are one of my son's favourite bands as well, and he is 16. Chester was an amazing artist, his music will live on for decades .

2 items for those longer sessions 2 burner stover (with toaster) from the range - bargain price of £30 after £20 off. Portable toilet as none of the club lakes have a toilet.

i know i will get shot down for this but i am not a fan of dropping the lead every time. yes there is a cost implication here as they are not cheap but most importantly for me it cant be great leaving all these leads behind on the lake beds. Yes i know they are made of safe materials these days but every angler dropping a lead on every take just sounds overkill to me.

Interesting as the volume on the cube goes up to 120db, it certainly isn't quiet. I have it set to about 10db, I am a light sleeper anyway.

Good feedback thanks gents. I get that its not difficult to change batteries but one of my alarms thread had broken and they are a bit rubbish so i could have don't with replacing them anyway. Time will tell i guess.

Just bought a set of Bitekeeper Cube alarms. I am not so bothered about how customisable they are as most is just gimmicks but I honestly think rechargeable alarms should have been done a long time ago. Arriving tomorrow so will see how they get on. I did search the forum but didn't see anything on here about them. BiteKeeper Cube

although i do still have my Street Triple, i did buy a sports tourer last year in the form of the Suzuki GSX S1000GX.

Hi all, not been around for a while. I am looking for a larger bivvy for longer sessions and potential France in the coming years. However it wont be used a huge amount as i prefer my smaller one for short sessions. Anyway i have found a Nash Titan 2 for sale 2nd hand and it seems OK. However i am not familiar with it as i think its quite old. I like the look of it as its quite high and will allow me to stand up in it, i am quite old so back pain on longer sessions is commonplace. Anyway does anyone have any info about it as i am struggling to fund anything online. It odnt seem to have any ventilation panels as far as i can see.

i know what you mean, i cant see myself getting rid of my STR. It does everything i want very well. not the most top end but you can really rev it without fear of losing your license before 3rd gear

I know there are a few bikers here so thought i would start a biker chat. Would be good to see your bikes (past and present) also any pics of tours, meet ups etc. I will start with my Triumph Street Triple, loaded for last years trip to the IOM TT.
