Sorry to hear that.

Today, I recovered from yesterday - Did the London to Brighton off road bike ride. 4:30am start, 75 miles.
Epic fun and a great experience. Slept well last night!

I went up the parents farm today, and set about servicing the auto locking hubs on my Bighorn. I then popped in to town for a test drive, where I spotted this beastie on the yard of a chap I know

I started chatting to him and got him down to a bargain price, test drove it and it seems pretty straight for what it is, may need a few bits doing at some point but for the money you couldn't complain. I've got family after one of these so I'm going to pop back tomorrow and pick it up. It's lower mileage than mine and it's an Irmscher so I'm kind of tempted to replace mine with it, the only downside is that mine is better condition in terms of bodywork and interior. The Irmscher has Recaro bucket seats though

No

Because there is no conviction in your request. You're not really interested

Doing a server recovery this morning. Friday was flagged it had 2 failing hard drives.....not good!!

So I've come in this morning, thankfully backup on Friday night passed so no data is lost should the worst happen.

Replaced one drive, started the RAID rebuilding, but it's taking a long time! Currently at 68% and it's been going for nearly 2 hours. Hopefully the second drive rebuild should be a lot faster.........
