After a 1 year break I've started playing War thunder again. There is a fun game burried underneath all the paywalls and stupid players but sometimes I just quit out asking myself 'er.. was I actually enjoying that?'. Also started playing iRacing again after a 5 year break, I'm too slow though.

A friend at work did that in the USA last year. Bought a old but reliable Toyota Camry for under $900 cash from a private Craig's List advert, drove it through 5 states, never bothered to transfer ownership and left it at the LAX airport carpark after 4 weeks of use. The perfect low level crime...

Would have been good for Fail Friday as he had is GoPro running 👍

Yesterday morning I met a friend for a quick ride around a local reservoir. I live 5m away so I rode there, he rocks up in his car, gets his trusty hardtail out the boot, chatting away while dicking with his new Garmin watch he puts the wheel on and a few other attachments, we head off, but...

Cousin lives at Burleigh Heads (or Waters?) she said they've had 170mm rain in the last 48 hours. Back garden is underwater and power is still off.

Cell were great, I loved my Awaba. Still not sure how they got into financial shit so quick. One minute they were selling 500 bikes a month and on media and news sites next thing they were going into receivership getting bought out and liquidated.

We had a quote 5 years ago to get our tile roof replaced with a colour bond roof, the quote was around 23k including gutters and extra beams. Decided at the time the current roof was ok but now in 2025 we decided to explore the option again, same company rep came out and did the same...

Marin bikes are unbeatable value.

I've seen a girl drop her knickers and sit in a man's urinal in a bar because she didn't like the lineup next door.. Trump's FBI mugshot hanging in the Whitehouse.

It's weird but my smart watch is a lower spec Amazfit and I've worn it almost every day for around 4 years and the battery health is 89% and I've noticed zero degradation in its power.

I have a Rift Zone E1. It's been pretty good. Had a Merida E-one 60 700 before but I didn't like the mullet setup. I thought about the EL1 and EL2 but I'm 100kg and thought I'd tank the 400 battery on a longer ride and all my trails are steep.

I was overtaken yesterday by 2 kids on highly modded ebikes, I was doing 60kph and the both flew past me (no peddling either). They know the cops can't chase them.

People occasionally bend the rules at MTB races but I would find it hard to believe people would blatently cheat by running a unrestricted bike?

Hygienist Barbie?

Yeah i think DJI is really upsetting the apple cart. Shimano and Bosch haven't really touched the battery development market. Their motors get more and more fancy but their batteries are pretty much unchanged.

My 43 year old XS1100 that's nearly done. Rebuilt starter clutch, new lines, new bearings, battery and coils. Just need to rebuild the front brakes and she will be good to go. Weighs 1 ton but still pulls like a freight train.

A mate brought a fancy Specialized Levo Comp a few months ago. Lovely bike, 6kg lighter than my bike but I had a ride yesterday but with power off it still felt heavy and sluggish to ride. We did a hilly mtb trail for about 1.5 hours. His bike was down to about 30-40% battery where as my Marin...

A friend bought a Scott Lumen 910 just before Xmas, it's lighter than my analogue, badly powered squishy bike and night and day lighter than my 1.4 ton Marin tractor emtb. It doesn't even look like a e bike. Cost him around $12,000 (fuck) but he did spend $9000 on a carbon road bike the other...
