  1. Nice run out today. Some pubs and dealers Plough at Warmington Chequers at Ettington Touchdown Cafe at Wellesbourne Triumph Stratford Honda Stratford Stratford Armouries
  2. No.
  3. We'll I wasn't expecting that either ! You sorted your nipples out yet ? Will be playing with my nipple over the next couple of days, which I have off of work. Are you going to see a tattooist to get it removed.
  4. Of course it is correct. At the red line the high inertia of the pistons will put more load onto the con rods which will cause them to stretch and so the top of the piston will go higher up the bore. Also the valves will stop them going too high.
  5. But A cable tie (also known as a wire tie, hose tie, steggel tie, zap strap or zip tie, and by the brand names Ty-Rap and Panduit strap) is a type of fastener, for holding items together, primarily electrical cables or wires. Because of their low cost and ease of use, cable ties are ubiquitous, finding use in a wide range of other applications. Stainless steel versions, either naked or coated with a rugged plastic, cater for exterior applications and hazardous environments. Cable ties were first invented by Thomas & Betts, an electrical company, in 1958 under the brand name Ty-Rap. Initially they were designed for airplane wire harnesses. The original design used a metal tooth, and these can still be obtained. Manufacturers later changed to the nylon/plastic design.
  6. You still got the old white tube type bottle then.
  7. Ann Aston might figure it out.........eventually Buuutttttt
  8. Blimey, that takes me back a bit. Bet most folk on here have no idea what you're on about. (Situation normal then ) Ann Aston might figure it out.........eventually
  9. I looked at that when I broke a bleed nipple. Unfortunately was not suitable for my callipers as the new thread was too big for the material where the bleed nipple sits. So check carefully if you go this route. It is really designed for car callipers. I ended up getting a replacement callipers.
  10. [mention]Hoggs[/mention] a balmy 8 deg C so a quick blast to clear the head an get the following tags. The White Heart British Motor Museum at Gaydon Rose and Crown Warwick.
  11. ">
  12. Some though not all Chinese bikes are getting better and WK seem to be among the better. Japanese cars and bikes were not good when they started, remember the Datsun cherry 100. But as Bender said read the small print carefully if you go with your choice as I think the 60 months is a dealer warranty and you need to go back to them for the services.
  13. To [mention]bonio[/mention] hope you had a good day.
  14. From RAC website Snow on your roof? As for the snow on the roof, while, again, there is no law stating it is illegal to drive with snow on your roof, if it falls off onto your windscreen while driving or flies into the path of another car then you could be penalised for such offences as 'driving without due consideration' or 'using a motor vehicle in a dangerous condition' - again, not worth the risk. Even if you’re only making a two-minute journey, by not thoroughly cleaning your car of snow, ice or condensation – including all windows, lights and even anything that could fall off into the path of another motorists – you’re breaking the law and leaving yourself liable to a run in with the police. That means fully wiping snow or frost from every window (a quick once over with a credit card or CD case is not good enough!). Use a proper scraper and de-icer. It might cost a few pounds, but it works and will save you time.
  15. Congrats to you both

    Fluid top ups

    You forgot the mention you don’t need to take chain lube.
  17.

  18. Ah but if you keep warm you’re less likely to need to wazz so often. But if you want to be able to wazz with frequency and wear colder gear then it becomes a self fulfilling situation. So do I be prepared to go and therefore need to go? Or do I risk [strikeout]inconvenience[/strikeout] incontinence but then maybe not need to go in the first place? This is the dilemma of winter riding. Fixed it for you

  20. Rubber seal goes althe way round including the handle recess. The join is in the recess.
  21. You’ll be fine next time [mention]Magpie84[/mention]
  22. Its in the correct place, but are you sure there isn’t a seal in there already. Just looked at mine and the seal is very deep in the grove.
  23. Iirc some high performance cars had water injection systems when leaded petroleum was banned. The water injection stopped pre ignition, knocking, and helped to keep the cylinder temperature down. It also helped the mpg. https://www.tsijournals.com/articles/improvement-of-fuel-efficiency-in-a-petrol-engine-by-using-water-injection.html
