That's a good bit of kit for £50 Russ! Very professional demo video too. Have you ever worked for JML?? We could get Ade to have a go at the voiceover for your ad?

Don't worry - I'd imagine the magic is happening as we type

Glad you liked it Ben, not sure if you have got to try it out yet but it really is just right for the job. It holds plenty of water to throughly clean a really dirtty bike or just ebnough to clean 2 dirty bikes.

Nick my hero i cant wait to see the results you cheeky sod.

Picking up this afternoon so will give it a whirl later today no doubt.

Just hope some over zealous other XC in Kent member doesnt pop down there pretending to be me to pip me to it!!

Well Ade lives near sittingbourne but he doesnt believe in cleaning bikes, his drivechain is normally so think in crap you cant see the chain.

Nick, you dissapoint me, are you going to be able to get to swinley for 9am?

Lol no danger of Ade ever cleaning his bike so i think you're safe!!

Yeah we'll be at Swinley for 9. If i leave a little before 7 we should be there in plenty of time. Just putting together a road trip soundtrack in my head but with no iPod input i think you're stuck with my CDs Andy. How does 4 hours of Trance sound to you??

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. Just been down Halfords picking up the last Dirtworker :shock: Strange really, the fella seemed to think my name was Ben. Didn't wanna disapoint him so I played along. :twisted:

I can feel a bit of a photoshop frenzie building for when I get home

I've found just the thing to fire you up on the way to Swinley, here
You'll both have sore throats (from singing :shock: ) and aching sides (from swaying side-to-side) to these banging toons

Has there ever been a better pop video than Wired for Sound? Waterskiing, aviator glasses, roller skates, leather jacket, leotards, mullet and a walkman. Classic!

Mark - Eskey Boy is a bit of chillout for when i need a break from the trance. Bet you can't wait Andy!

Just been down to Halfords and some scrote's taken my dirtworker! The guy behind the counter said the man who bought it has a really dirty bike, a crystal ball and lots of scars?

I walked out with a sponge, a watering can and a permanent marker, gonna write "Hard Worker" on the side of it now............

Ben do you fancy Swinley on Sunday?

deadpool2e

Bang and its gone.

Cant do Sunday Im afraid, got a busy weekend lined up (work mainly!) but doing an early flyer to shake out the cobwebs on Sat AM around BBH - very early!

Got my Dirtworker - what a compact and well thought out little machine! - not tried it yet, but looks the business. Think its quite heavy for such a small unit, and thats without water in! Gonna find a secure location to mount it in the van!

No doubt I will post my own review after this weekend as Im expecting some messiness around BBH!

And Kudos to Halfords in Sittingbourne, helpful staff on the phone, and helpful when I went to collect, all round good show!

Err......Hell! I have an itrip, and a Creataive Zen and another FM transmitter, so think we'll be sorted for tunes so you can leave the trance cd's at home!

These dirt workers, anyone got a url? I couldnt find them on Halfrauds website yesterday. I got so muddy at bedgebuy last sunday and I was talking to my friend about a mobile 12v (which I presume these are?) pressure washer. I was so muddy I was about to PAY to use bedgeburys own wash but its so high pressure that I didnt fancy having to buy new bottom bracket and hub bearings after using it!!! Is this dirt worker one adjustable or low enough pressure that it cleans without destroying the bike?

cheers

Google "Dirtworker" Breezer and the main website for it will emerge.

Halfords are technically not displaying them, they are all kept out the back, if you go back a couple of pages, Russalfs posted a link to another forum explaining it.

What you need to do it phone/visit your local Halfords and give them the product code of 430991 (I think thats right) they'll do a stock check on their system.

If any in stock, explain they are in the stock room, and not on the shop floor. They should grab it for you.

They are down from £99.99 to £49.99 - wicked!

I can confirm Sittingbourne doesnt have any as some lucky so-and-so got it yesterday evening! Me!

Check out Russalfs vid of the DW in action, its fully adjustable from Jet to fine mist.

Gonna have a go with mine later today.

Im not sure if its an offer - think they maybe just selling them off as theyre not even on display!....

Let us know if you have any luck.

lost-time

Bmjboy

I dont think the DW has got the power for that, [Read: HOPE the DW doesnt have the power! ]

Looks like we have a forum of Photoshoppers.....

Should we run a caption competition or something!!?
