    They were highly recommended.
    They will break in, just need a few more hours and maybe a couple of deep stream crossings.

  5. I’ve seen 1 of these for sale on FB, I was very tempted to buy it for my Son to ride once he turns 16 as I have no faith in a 30 buzz bomb. They’re lovely looking bikes. It was £1500.
     
  6. Long time ago but last time I had a pair of x boots like that, I used saddle soap on the back of the heel and the sides where the ankle is

  10. Although made in 1999, I'd never seen it from start to finish. Tonight/this morning I watched The Green Mile and I don't mind admitting, my eyes are sore.

  11. Only on Sundays
     
  12. Sunday’s have to recognised also.
     
  13. Today I will be mostly looking at buying a (new to me) car as my company car is due to go back at the end of the year. I have asked the lease company of my company car if they want to sell it, and if it was a good price then I’d have it as it’s under 2 years old, only done 2k miles and I know it inside out. But it seems they don’t want to sell it for some reason and are being difficult.

    I don’t need anything flash or new, just something that gets me from A to B comfortably and safely and has a bit of a boot to be able to take stuff to the tip or up to Scotland once in a while.

    So when I get back home I’ll be emptying and cleaning said company car for it to be picked up in the next couple of days.

  15. They’ll probably just stick it through a BCA auction to get shot of it, deemed less hassle for them and no-one can argue the FMV wasn’t achieved. It might be worth you looking at BCA. I bought several cars over the years from there when I switched to car allowance rather than company car. Most ex-lease stuff goes through there, full service history and fully valeted yet available at trade prices or below.

  16. Your reputation precedes you sir;)..it will probably end up at a local auctionhouse,& maybe that's the only way forward if you want it back.

  17. Yeah........thought of doing that too. I know they’ll look at the path of least resistance.

    I’m just looking at the moment so unless something happens to jump out at me then I’ll leave it a few more days

  18. I watched" Internal affairs " late last night , a 1990 flick with the hamster smuggler in one of his best roles . A complete deviant and very clever up until the last 10 minutes of the film where a complete twat appears to take over his character. Lol
    Puddy :)
     
  19. An appropriate title for a hamster smuggler!
