You might be able to a replacement or a refund direct from Oxford Products unless they have learned their lesson from the D Lock / Biro scandal .

With my helmet , boots and leathers in a holdall .

That looks like Public Transport , something that the stupid , the unwell and the lazy apparently have to endure on a regular basis . Horrible isn't it ? When I bought my bike I had to get a bus to Coventry Station , a train to Euston Station , a Tube to Victoria Station and another train to Portsmouth . I only bought the bike because I couldn't face that nightmare all over again .

Let me know if you need any suggestions regarding locations , free camping spots etc when you go to Scotland . I've pretty much made it my life's work to explore as much as I can of the far North .

I'm struggling to make sense of your post if I'm honest . It reads like you've bought a set of vacuum gauges for £2.90 but now you need another set because , presumably , these are too cheap to be reliable . I'm not sure why you need a right angled screwdriver either . These used to be used to adjust mixture screws underneath the carbs but they were very hard to use . When you balance carbs you synchronize the Butterfly Valves by manipulating screws on the common actuating mechanism which is usually accessible from above .

Looking at the relationship between seat and bars , you could almost call that a Sports Tourer . You'll just get there sooner . Enjoy .

Oh my goodness . There's definitely something wrong with the poor old bugger AND he's American .

Back to Marmite . I absolutely love the stuff but as a drink ? Well I've never tried it so I'll give it a go . Bovril , on the other hand is , I believe , a throwback to the Victorian belief that meat was a remedy for every ailment . Therefore the extracted essence of meat in the form of Beef Tea was a convenient way of administering it . If the truth be told it was more likely a way of extracting the last few shillings worth of profit from the very worst slaughterhouse waste by marketing it to the TB riddled lower classes .

Good luck with that . We can't even get people to wear a cheap paper mask or have a free life saving vaccine .

Oh Kevin , go and walk the dog or something , get some fresh air .

Have you ever pondered what the medical term De-gloved means ? Here's a clue . Look at this GIF... https://pin.it/6feMxgi

The shoebox actually burst under the strain .

Does he look bothered ?

Start the day with a good laugh .

Well that's decided then . I'm never , ever , eating Tofu .

Those pretty words might lose their sparkle when the postman drop kicks it over the wrong gate .

And coming soon .... It's amazing how far kits have come . Full cockpit detail and all in 1/72 scale .

Here we go , another one rolls out of the hangar . Actually , to be more accurate , this evil looking implement of Nazi desperation was manufactured by mostly forced labour and furtively assembled in a forest weeks before the Allies closed in . And that is the beauty of model making , it concentrates the mind on the story behind the represented object .

Second that , let it all bed in before worrying about a compression test .

Errrm , I hope this doesn't cause any embarrassment . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Make-Your-Own-Personalised-A4-Photo-Calendar-2022-Add-Pictures-Unique-Gift-YPP22-/393485996306?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

You do have a point there . I'll be honest then . I ripped off the other pictures month by month and kept the picture of my bike visible for the whole year . Well it saved me the effort of taking the drawing pin out .

There had better be some decent pictures of my bike on this thing after I've shelled out a whopping twelve Poonds ! Ahm nae made o' money ye ken .

Interestingly , this is a Czech remould of a Heller kit so the instructions are completely symbolic but still easy to understand .

Oh yeah ! What power ?

All in all , not a bad Biking year . I managed to get to a few events and go on some runs . Let's hope 2022 is better still .
