  1. Cool. Mine seems to have a short handlebar stalk. I like long reach on my legs rather than high knees. Might search for carbon forks with longer stalk in the future. Riding to worcester in the morning and back as a trial. If i get the chance i might go out a few evenings.
  2. George foreman has killed more steaks than any other chef known to man. Needs to be a about 30mm thick. Red hot iron grill pan. Brushed with melted butter. First push the fatty edge into the pan to start it crisping and add heat to that edge of the meat. About 30 seconds should do it. Only then drop it onto the griddle and start cooking. 2.5mins then turn over after another 2.5 mins again repeat. This way both sides get equal heat. On a thick steak you will lose some heat on the top side. This way gets heat into the centre. And for the lines. If you lay your steak diagonally on the griddle and turn using the line running through the centre of the steak as your axis when you turn you will get perfect criss cross. This method was shown to me by the chef in the steak restaurant in Zion national park when i was 17. I had said i didn't know what way to have my steak. So they took me in the kitchen.
  3. Thanks. Handy to know that.
  4. I can only think that "if" they are straight that they are possibly returned stock. Doubt its bankruptcy stock as looks too new.
  5. Seconded. On a serious note. If running a tool from vehicle mounted power source how do hydraulic ones rate? Have seen numerous firewood processors with hydraulic chainsaws fitted.
  6. Hahahaha. First ride of mine sunday.
  7. Thats a good bike. Ebay? Theres been a few through lately. My tires are about 1/3 the width of the mtb ones i have
  8. Oooo what ya got?? And today i have overdone the kettlebells and walking like a cripple
  9. None. But driven 1400 miles in days
  10. Sad story. By the look if the pic he was a bit optimist with the size of tree he was cutting.
  11. Ouch. You can buy the kit to do the floors but in all honesty unless you are good at welding its a crap job. Discos going through on ebay less than the welding would cost professionally. I know of a good 3dr on landyzone going for £950
  12. Sounds like it just needs the sensitivity turning down. Also lots of alarms have those little sensors in the A pillar. When a vehicle has been stood they get dusty causing alarm to go off. Especially when coupled to a weak battery and over sensitivity. Theres often a mercury switch under the central console. If its set wrong or has shifted that can cause it too.
  13. Lets just say theres nothing attractive about me when i left the gym. Hehe. The nags head is all of 400m from my house! Used to work there. I doubt i ever earnt much always left drunk.
  14. Ouch. What area are you in? Might be other places to go
  15. Omm? Just done 20km on bike in the gym. 10km cross trainer and 3 km on treadmill. I am a mess
  16. I got an apollo tdf. £90 secondhand and been used for a month. Plenty about. If i get into it will spend more. Was fed up of people saying that £550+ was entry level. Not looking to be the next bradley wiggins just get out and about a bit.
  17. Did 30km yesterday. Just bought a racer so will be out at the weekend. Hopefully 30-40 miles
  18. Yeah give or take. In the pic are 3 trunks. Right hand one is leaning somewhat. Diameter of each is at least 2.5 ft
  19. It was just a video of what it takes to drop a really big tree. Did you see pic before? There are about 12+ of those about near me. Used to be part of a big estate now residential. They are huge and in little back gardens
  20. Saw this elsewhere. :0
  21. Hahahhaha
  22. Don't forget a big smug smile
  23. And i agree. Piss take to borrow your gear then expect to tell you what to do.
  24. I wish. Way too far
