Springtime also I believe .

lol Oi!
I don't do seasons... just too cold or not too cold, and also not wet but that goes without saying, or should do.

In fact if it weren't for the lockdown I'd consider coming out now for some trail riding... as long as my bike had had it's bread.

I think you need to change your name to Goldilocks.

People call me all sorts... I still answer...

Check if your vehicle is compatible.

I guess it's mostly the old classics that will have a problem with E-10.

And before anyone starts, I'm ahead of you already, have most of the come-backs to hand, and if I run out there's fellow 'Grey Ones' on here who will no doubt bravely jump in and add their support - or not .

We'll be alright as long as there's still plenty of ethanol in our cider with 10% being the absolute minimum

My liver is still trembling from the home brewed Old Thunderbox cider we were forced to drink in a certain hotel in Wales in 2019 .

They're still counting the cost of the broken glasses at breakfast.....

. . . I was hoping time would draw a veil over that . Shoulda known better than to bring it up I suppose, or perhaps that's what I should have done with the Neuadd's Old Rimblaster the night before

I should have put some of that cider in the tank of my KTM. Might have been able to keep up with the rest of the loons

You've had plenty of time to practise ready for this year, perhaps without the Rimblaster additive though.

"Rimblaster" - an apposite monicker for that particular addictive substance. I previously thought we had the monopoly on rough here in the SouthWest.....

Looks like it's now upon us...

Yesterday I dropped into two Tesco stations (Chard & Minehead) and both now have an E10 label on the regular petrol pump, the other one still says E5 though.

I think the only E5 you can get now will be the super unleaded stuff with the extra cost.
