    no chance. I'll be getting the Tiger MOTed and then not riding it ever
    again.

    heh.

    I have two stepladders I'll have you know, and they're both staying. I
    used one only yesterday to take some curtains down 'cos I was having a
    new patio door fitted.

    Double glazing is amazingly cheap these days. As you may know, I
    worked for a double glazing business 20 years ago, and my new door
    cost less actual pounds than we used to charge back then.

  6. I think the excuse comes free with the Tiger. I used it too.

    well, I doubled the mileage in one year that you'd put on in 5, so I
    didn't use the excuse quite so much.

    If I owned a Tiger, I probably wouldn't ride it much either.

    My '03 was MoT'd this week & probably won't get ridden again either. My
    '96 otoh is a total hoot - definitely a keeper. If only Triumph would
    follow BMW's lead & do a proper pared-down, off-road/SM Tiger. If I can
    do it, I'm bloody sure they can.

    Really?

    Would you mind letting on how much and post a link to
    whoever-you-used's website? Only we're mulling over putting in new
    patio doors at the new house, when we get it.

    Ta.

    yes - 2400x2400mm sliding door with twin fanlights, £1380 [1]fitted,
    made good, and the old crappy wood-and-aluminium doors removed from
    site. They even moved my Virgin Media net connection from one side of
    the door to the other and tidied up the cabling.
    it was a local independant - I doubt they'd travel far from Enfield,
    but here you go:

    [1] for a laugh I also had a quote from Everest - even after their
    "cashback" and "special on the day discount" they wanted £6k for the
    same thing.

    any recommendations as to where to buy this - it's what I'm currently
    favouring putting down in my dining room.

    the Incredible thing is that they apparently sell a fuckload of doors
    and windows to people who don't know it's possible to use an
    independant contractor.

    But then again, Everest's products are "as seen on TV" so they /must/
    be better.

    So?

    Quick breakfast blast down the M4, finish up at Oxfordshire, take the
    A4130/A417/A40 back. Job done.

    I thought you had a new bike to play with. What more excuse do you need?

    Priorities.

    I'm sure there'll be another one in a week or so, if the weather's not
    too wanky.

    I'd quite like to do one, but unfortunately I'm working on a rather late
    project at the moment which is sucking up every waking hour.
