It's blurred now, thanks. It's probably cached the original version your end. :) James

Mine came with the bike (bought privately) so it would be rude not to use them :lol:. They are well worth it, especially if you do a fair bit of mile munching. Oh aye, I'm 23 lol. I'm already sick of sports bikes. To be honest I don't think I'd go back after having a great big armchair with...

You could use a website like tinypic.com and copy and paste the URL on here or similarly you could use Photobucket and copy the img tags from there. If you have an iPhone - or some other phone that Tapatalk is installed on - you can upload the photo directly from your phone. James PS: Here...

Just what I was after, Scott. Thanks for that! James

This is my latest. It's an 07 XL1000VA. It's a world apart from my Firestorm, very comfy, pulls like a train even when fully loaded, it handles well for something so big and is incredibly good on juice. Myself and the Doris are looking to do a tour of the UK or head to Europe next year for a...

Tidy, I'd been running searches on the forum (and others) but got massively bogged down with every thread that had "IPA" or similar in it. I was hoping for a website that had some sort of PDF or similar of different characteristics. :) James

Hello, Is there anywhere I can have a poke about online, where I can learn what the characteristics of an Indian IPA are. I entered The Spring Thing brewing competition today without even thinking that I need to learn the characteristics of such a beer! :oops: I'll refrain from asking for...

Well done! I did the car version a few years back. I'm going to sign up for the RoSPA course on payday (for the bike). James

5 gallons of Chocolate Vanilla Stout. Total: 5242.

I went to a pub in Whiteley once, as I was driving back from a job interview I asked for a pint of Lemonade. I nearly hit the deck when the barman asked for £3! £3 for a pint of Lemonade! Back home (I'm from the Rhondda Valley) it would be all of a quid! I hate living down south, everything is...

Hose has arrived and has made brewing much easier! Very good quality! Thanks again, James

I agree with the sentiments so far. It irritates me when people comment that the beer I brew must be as rough as badgers arse however it's always the complete opposite. Many of my friends were at first entirely against the idea of trying one of my beers - two of my friends were 'brave' enough -...

Thanks gents, that's that solved! :cheers: James

Back last year I brewed a Chocolate Vanilla Stout (viewtopic.php?f=21&t=20939). I'm going to be doing the same again but scaling the recipe down to 22L. I'm considering adding black treacle as I've heard it is quite good in stouts. I was hoping for some advice on how much to add and what...

Welcome! There's another one of us moving in :D. I'm in the Rhondda (well, was!).

This in droves. I love my bench capper, it's an absolute beast and makes capping extremely quick and easy! James

I', trying to justify buying a TLS at the moment. I can't see the other half as being amused if I rolled up on one (we're currently saving for a house - I'm 23). I used to have a Firestorm and loved it but I've sold that to my step dad. It was giving me horrendous neck pain - I've nackered my...

I polished and glazed the Varadero yesterday, ready for it's wax coat. I can't see me getting much riding time though as my week off work has descended into my attracting a full on case of man flu. :( She's not been polished etc in that photo; it was how I picked her up from the dealers. James

5 Gallons of Christmas beer Total = 5015

Hello all, Yesterday I brewed my first attempt at a Christmas beer and what I had thought up personally, as a recipe (I had some help too from forum members). I was aiming for a Ruby-ish coloured beer but I think my calculation for the required amount of Carared was off. I was aiming for 23L @...
