C64 RF Modulator Replacement
A few weeks ago I ordered a c0pperdragon replacement for the RF modulator on my C64. I tried to fit it shortly after it arrived but failed to remove the existing RF modulator due to the massive solder blob securing … Continue reading
Cycle “Adventures” Volume 158
3 weeks worth of footage. It’s been a bit quiet, relatively speaking, lately. There’s still a lot of impatience (and some audible language), cycle couriers and a couple of stand out clips. The first beggars belief. If I even tried … Continue reading
Cycle “Adventures” Volume 157
I thought this was going to be another Deliveroo special but it seems other things took over. I normally take primary position (middle of lane) and wait in traffic queues. There’s no rush and patience is more relaxing than trying … Continue reading

Cycle “Adventures” Volume 153
Well what a change! No shortage of clips this last period. Plenty of idiots, including a lot of red jumping cycles and an arrogance shown by many bullies in metal shells that’s going to kill someone; probably sooner rather than … Continue reading
Cycle “Adventures” Volume 152
Three weeks worth of clips but not a huge amount going on. A combination of early starts, late finishes, days off and rain (lots of rain) the roads were mostly quiet. We do still see some idiots, especially impatience, paint … Continue reading
