  1. As an electrical engineer I can't condone this but I would say I have cut through several bootlace ferrules using this method.
  2. I will.be out in the bike tomorrow, unfortunately it is to the dentist.
  3. Or these Draper 62226 190 mm 9-Way Cable Ferrule Crimping Pliers https://amzn.eu/d/boP6gCD
  4. Try these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Draper-13656-way-Crimping-Tool/dp/B0001K9PBE/ref=asc_df_B0001K9PBE/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=271967412945&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5219522346583039977&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007201&hvtargid=pla-464065777622&psc=1&th=1&psc=1#immersive-view_1697973567134
  5. A lot of cars have this feature. Buy it requires the driver to select AUTO on the light switch.
  6. CF are probably the best of the Chinese. CF 800 is built round the KTM engine. Good review by MCN https://www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-reviews/cf-moto/800mt-touring/2022/ Though personally I don't think I would buy one until they are proven with reliability and residuals.
  7. Found AA box 45. Unfortunately not on the bike.
  8. Just because you aren't used to being in last place.
  9. It’s happened on the A422 towards Edgehill from Banbury. 2 off 20 mph zones. One is ok it’s just through a village the other is OTT.
  10. New rear tyre, new chain and sprockets, service and MOT. had a Tracer 7 to play on for the day
  11. Hendon Shuffle! https://www.survivalskills.co.uk/riding_skills_43.htm personally I do what ever feels right at the time.
  12. Best thing to do is to go on “CMSNL” website and look at the part numbers for the headers and if they are the same they will fit. I’ve had a quick look and would say no. The GSF seem to be four into one and the gxsr seem to be 4 into 2 into 1. not sure if I’ve looked at the correct models though. eg https://www.cmsnl.com/suzuki-gsf600s-bandit-2001-k1-usa-e03_model33820/partslist/BLCK0051.html https://www.cmsnl.com/suzuki-gsxr600-2001-k1-usa-e03_model16078/partslist/BLCK0054.html
  13. That’s why I tend to use the Shell for the bike, but not for the car.
  14. Up till a week ago the Shell garage was within 2p of the nearest supermarket and as the Shell is half a mile away as opposed to 2 miles to supermarket the bike usually gets filled up at Shell.
  15. Filled it up prior to a run out and at the local Shell garage the petrol has gone from 144.9 to 152.9 in a week.
  16. As I, unexpectedly, managed to get out today bagged another 3 tags. West Midlands #5 The Mann Cave (Chas Mann motorcycles) West Midlands #6 NT Kinver Edge and the Rock Houses West Midlands #7 Stokesay Castle.
  17. When we were having an extension built we left a selection of biscuits out for the various trades people to have with tea / coffee. The fig biscuits were never eaten.
