Will see how it works is arrives tomorrow.

Start at one end work your way up? See what you prefer? Not the most scientific methods, but unless your the next best track rider. I don't think it makes much difference? Most bikes I seem to end up 2 bar over recommended, then I am above average in weight

Where did I say anything about breaking the law? More suggesting the law is going to get tightened up in this respect. Noise cameras are out there, maybe suggesting it will make some people think. EURO pollution compliance restricting modifications. Which sadly means many vehicles will become disposables, when the OEM parts no longer available. Many people with bikes in sheds being refitted or kept will give up due to the inability able to get parts.

I have quite ish exhaust, kids round her are often disappointed that when I give them blip on throttle it's got no pop and bang. You come in a motorbike page trying to get support? You think that's likely? With some bikers, it's become a race to the top for volume, some people will take it to the extreme. Don't worry regulations and noise cameras are on the way. Can I suggest you don't buy a house on a main road to or from a hospital, police station and I would say fire station but they rarely go out these days. I know someone who bought a house by a race track, then spent there time complaining about the noise

Right I am going to go of one… Auction houses, Facebook, E-Bay, buying, selling what ever…. I am having mass clear out at the moment and getting rid of allot of stuff. Plus buying some other stuff. Lying, profiteering, no shows, scammers, yes come view your the only one - sorry it’s sold. Buying a car I have my eye out for a replacement for my XTrail. A raV4, crv preferably not a freelander etc. So FB has a search set, a number of times now sorry it’s sold. 2 days later it’s cleaned on FB recently serviced with a cowboy dealer at twice the price. A couple of years ago I part exchanged a car by close of business next day it was on the market at 3 x price. I would rather buy private than through some of the dealers round here. Buyers are liars, if you can arrange to view in 30 minutes and still not turn up and reply 30 minutes later. Even giving stuff away for free, time wasters make it difficult. Now at the stage I would rather take things to the tip than deal with people.

I like the use for target shooting, however I guess your not shooting near people or populations . When it comes to drone shots, one or 2 is nice but they are getting very teadious. Luckily round here the national park put a ban on them, so they are rarely an issue. You do get the odd one or two where they can fly and they do make an irritating noise.

Well thanks for the advice… I just hit the button on: https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/refurbished-dell-latitude-5490-core-i7-8th-gen-16gb-256gb-14-inch-windows-1-t1-5490i716gb256gbw10p/version.asp Thanks for recommendations, thanks for recommendations. I have used Laptopsdirect before, first time he was just about a one man band in Bradford. I phoned him to check he wasn’t dodgy site! Have used since and always had good service. @RideWithStyles Ram Size16GB TypeDDR4 Form FactorSO-DIMM Total Slots1 you can decide if that’s a good thing I understand 16gig

Thanks guys. Agree external hard drives I have always backed things up on them. Presently just dumped 100gig of data on the cloud from various old hard drives (much duplication). Part of reason for laptop is to bring them from cloud and sort then back up. I also have mums digitised photos & video to sort. Presently looking at 16gig ram 256ssd (as you say there is always cloud and external memory) reconditioned for £300

That good knowledge problem is what spec do I want?

Was looking at windows 10 or 11, seems windows 10 support is ending October this year. video editing would mainly be cropping and joining nothing to difficult.

Ok totally out of date with this stuff. My last Laptop is 10 years old and is fooked, it's taken me 2 days to make it start and back up contents to cloud. Historically with travel I used to destroy one every 2-3 years, so knew what a good deal looked like. I have been surviving on phone and iPad however, miss abilities of laptop. What I would want it to do? Maybe some mild video editing, Word processing, Usual internet stuff, Managing photos etc - mostly stored on line or on external hard drives, Bluetooth - WiFi obviously several usb ports, Battery life an hour or 2 would be good more better. How much Ram? 8gig or more? How fast a processor? I don't have clue. I am thinking 100gig hard drive would do? what type is best? Anyone know of any decent deals out there I am definitely sub £300 preferably £200 and have no problems with reconditioned for the use it's going to get.

Yes and no, taking your helmet of can be a PITA, particularly if: it’s raining, you have no where sensible to put helmet, you wear glasses, Riding to another station can just be easier and the slight inconvenience will remind you not to use that garage again. Some recommend not replacing nozzle, quite right or even leaving on floor but I would not, recommend. Garages are the one place I expect to not have to remove lid. I have a local post office that said oh don’t worry when I stepped in first and immediately started to remove gloves and lid because it was raining.

I have had a few garages do that for me over the years. When possible I do ride off, without putting petrol in. I certainly never plan to return to them. I understand they have problems with people not paying but they should have reg plate so should be able to go back to vehicle owner.

My daughter went pillion at a fairly early age 8. Found her big pink all in one suit with Armour etc. I found it was great way to keep people from driving to close behind. I cannot think of a bad reaction caused by her. Other than when she started pointing out too idiots the error of there ways She had a set of these and an instruction to hold on, We did have intercom. Personally had it off all gone wrong I am not certain I would want her attached to me. Individually there is less momentum involved as in individuals than as one lump.

I will be mostly working…. 30 hours between Friday 1600 and Monday 0630…

It’s interesting yesterday that road had a couple of cars left with notes. Of a winter there are a handful of us who park there. We all park sensibly and can fit in the first 1/4 of the road, now cars are not parked sensibly just because of nobs like the guy above. This time of the year we would rather walk the length of the road to park at an end. Today they were all taken. Other option is £60 for 2 months parking in the car park, which has similar issues

Having parked up as normal to go to the boat... I came back to the car to this. I got it off the parking space just, luckily the car behind was a little bit more considerate. It took a couple of efforts but I got it. The temptation to break a wing mirror was strong, but resisted. However if you drive a Gold Hilux, don't expect any kindness.

Not mine this time but I liked the sentiments

Reading above and having tried mine on fresh water on the boat. I am happy with my £20 version for the boat. My plan is to take out 10 or 20 Ltrs of water which is enough for a fresh wash after salt.

Good morning

Its not bike specific is a covered box trailer with flat base. Tie downs either side about 4 " up on frames about 50cm apart. Where would you put wooden block? I have ratchets and have spent a fair amount of time securing boats, not bikes.

Any tips on how to secure my bike to a trailer? Enfield 411, Trailer has lashdown points. At various spacing. Where do you attach and where don't you. I think it's best secured on center stand?

Glad they found nothing structural. If they have given him codeine as pain relief did he get prescribed a laxative as a side? Most opiate based pain relief has a particular side effect.

Yeah Egypt is scary, it was one place we where put in a hotel and not allowed to travel to our base of a night. I did a 4 hour journey multiple times over afew years. I didn't ever do that journey without seeing significant fresh blood on the road.

8 years of multi bike insurance I probably saved more than I have lost
