I bet you wished you knew that before setting off this morning?

Ben Collins book. He used to be the Stig on Top Gear. (White Stig)

That should startle the cat.

The Ibis Mojo HD when new in 2010 was £4,500. My Whyte was £2,700 last year.

At Sherwood Pines. The white bike is an Ibis Mojo HD. Mine's a Whyte bike.

Oh yes, nasty prang on the M1 a bit north of here. Trab force to Keef.

Who rides bikes here?
I have a road bike but I'll be honest, have hardly ridden it since I have my fantastic mountain bike. I am lucky, I have Woburn, Rushmere and Chicksands nearby.

I've flown on their First Class service A380 to Sydney. I'll be able to report back on their A380 biz class service soon. I've used their biz class service years ago when I had to go to Don't Buy for the Hawker type rating. My brother prefers the A380 for economy class over the B777.

Nah, playing at Woburn. Mine's the charcoal grey number with the blue and lime green lettering. A Whyte G-150. My mate's on a Giant Anthem.

My bike. Out enjoying the autumnal sun.

Took the lil Ducati out for a ride today.

When I was communicating with a tame engineer at Northolt trying to develop a protocol for remote signing off of no damage bird strikes, the file was called "Bird Murdering". Whilst I didn't write it up, the cover of the emergency hatch was loose. Our engineers solution was to wrap it in s...

Oh yes, most of the original PPRuNe mods don't mod or post any more. One person who was an absolute fav in the late 90's was Jazzi. This was when Jetblast was for the brave. She stopped posting when Don Daines (aka PPRuNe Pop) told her that her type wasn't welcome any more... Now, if Captain IF Snai...

In the bad old days, Rob was the VOR while Danny was a irrational tyrant.....

I am a rain god.... sigh.
