Your kitchen pictures made me smile, nay laugh !! I want to ride with you at night to see the 1203D in action.

Very nice! I'd been wondering when we'd get a chance to see hte new steed. What's it ride like, a mate of mine is looking for something like this as his general street biek rather tha his tourer.

Having ridden him but a mile so far, it's difficult to be sure. I would have tried him today, but:
o I'm still rather sore from Saturday's crash, and o at the moment, I can't see the far side of the car park due to a downpour of tropical intensity
But he felt pretty nice round the block yesterday. Might commute on him tomorrow if it's not raining - 'twould be a pity to get him all covered in Skog(tm) so early...
Every time you mention this, I find it disturbing.
It's a wood. That's why a skogstroll is just one that lives in the birchwoods. It's not claggy.
That depends on the language, of course. I first came across it as the technical term for the stuff which floats to the surface when, as a Penniless Student Oaf, one is trying to create a nourishing meal from a mixture of rice, packet soup and Stuff from the Cupboard, and as such is /very/ descriptive of the stuff with which typical country lanes are coated :-)

The uprights have but one each, due to handlebar space considerations ;-) The Trice and Speedmachine have two, and Cosimo three (plus an HRM)

The old fixer has, in one form or another, been around for twenty-mumble years and I bought the Trek off TWFKAML after she moved out as:
o it was really too big for her, and o I needed something apart from the trike[1] with which to tow the BoB
1 - not very much fun in central LTD
I know I'm going to be sorry, but what's a TWFKAML??? Google is no help, except that you have used it more than once.
Shorthand for 'Doctor Larrington'. Do keep up at the back.
Is the wrong answer. TWFKAML is a self-employed architect. Dr Larrington teaches medieval English Literature at St. John's College, Oxford.
Depravo the (Road) Rat is indeed a fine beast. I was wondering though...with all that illumination do you have to inform your local air traffic control when out at night? It would be a tragedy to get a graze from a Cessna!

Indeed.
I was just explaining how disturbing I find your use of it.
It is disturbing in exactly the opposite way that the kitchen in our house is disturbing: when we bought the house we also acquired a set of matching fitted white goods.

Haven't tried him after dark yet, but the unlit bits of the commute are mostly in Epping Forest, so the trees will probably prevent it ;-)
OTOH, there /is/ a couple of miles of unlit lane in open country, and given the proximity to Stansted...
Hmmm... I'd always thought the amount of low-flying aircraft near Chateau Unfit Family was due only to the proximity of an airbase. Now I'm worried... due to the amount of lighting & reflectives worn by the Unfit Family when cycling during hours of darkness...
