I'm hurting today, I went for a ride on the MC to cool off after planting 3 bushes for the wife. I pulled over to put on the helmet and the gravel looked packed, but I hit the front brake like a dummy and the bike went over on my leg. Had to turn over to pull my leg out and pick the bike up, now my back and knee are sore, plus a big blister from sweaty hands using a digging bar on the plants, UGH. Think I'll just chill after I feed the cats. Getting old is no fun.

This came yesterday. I have the youngest and eldest granddaughters for the weekend, so I won’t get to play with it until I recover. I have no idea how I lived through raising my kids, I must’ve had a million times as much energy back then lol.

LOL I hear you, I really do hear you...had my 2year old monster/darling for 2 nights, Jesus I was 30 years younger last time I had a 2yr old, she woke at 4,30am, is dynamite! Tomorrow night I have her 6yr old brother...sleepover, gawds help me. He's easier in a way tho but still a lot of work lol. Think Im just old and rickety now but geeze they just keep going and going eh LOL. Like wee engeriser bunnies ha ha..

 

[Boudica]

I think I'm getting myself into trouble again

No, you are too much loved and respected here to ever get into trouble Charlie. Sleep well and easy tonight, oh hang on time differences but you know what I mean. Boudica.

That sucks.
Dropped mine sropping on a gravel drive a bit back. Luckily i was all but stopped, front brakes are a nono lol.
Kick your feet up and watch some netflix.

Any damage to the bike?

Oh my gods...Delores the teen girl in the photo with Georgia looks like a combination of my daughter, my niece and my sister. Uncanny

Edit- I just showed it to my son and his eyes went wide..."what...who...Dad..who is that!!??"

She looks a lot like me, and my daughter (her aunt) did at her age, and she has exactly the same personality. So lookout, world!

Heat, ice, and anti inflammatories. And if you’re not seeing improvement in a day or two, please get checked out.
(Sorry, sometimes it’s hard not having a husband to boss around lol)

Feel better soon!

So I finally fixed my darkroom door and developed the photos.
Here's a series of size comparisons of the Delro, Boxx, Abyss and Billet Box. Apologies for the slightly wonky focus. I need a coffee.

Hey useful pics....much the same between the four except Delro wider and shorter.....this is where I admit to loving the airflow on the Boxx although my BB's with drilled panels are good too. How's the airflow on the Delro....tight RDL???

 

[charlie1465]

I think a dozen newborns would be easier than a 2 year old lol. Mine were each like an entire circus at that age. Actually it’s so much easier when the teen is here, she’s a great help with the 6 year old. And they’re letting me sew for them. Such fun!

Awwh they're so alike....the little one looks mischievous but oh so lady like

I know, I know, but it looked pretty packed down. Had to order a new brake lever from JP, boss bags held it up a bit.

except Delro wider and shorter

The delro is smaller in height, width and depth than the other three. That's taking into account the bulge at the centre of the BB doors.
Apologies for the dodgy mobile phone photos - kind of squashed looking.

Airflow on the Delro with those honeycomb holes is as open as a BB but smoother. A little bit less airy than the Boxx. Goes really well with the Mobb mini.

Photos were ok but I ignored the doors on the BB.

Hope lockdown is not driving you crazy....my sister Sam has resorted to jigsaw puzzles

It's a bit annoying but necessary.
I think of what previous generations went through to get perspective. This is nothing in comparison.
