  1. I made my own version of that with a string that ran the length of the garden and an Airfix Fairy Battle suspended below a pulley .
  2. That place looks better than my flat .
  3. Some very good pictures this year and a lot of them , including my own , appear to be in portrait rather than landscape mode .
  4. I got banned from the Keil Kraft Facebook page for commenting that control line was a " Tethered aerofoil " and therefore not truly flying which I thought was a little unfair . I'm into the more gentle and fragile art of electric powered stick and tissue designs .
  5. I remember now . You've got the Japanese retro version with the one up , four down gearbox .
  6. How about Operation Squabble ? https://rafa.org.uk/blog/2020/06/12/it-was-crammed-with-huns-and-we-had-something-for-them/
  7. This is worth a read . https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_Hunter_Tower_Bridge_incident
  8. And that's how we do that . All ready to roar out over the North Sea and bomb , torpedo , strafe and rain rockets upon Nazi shipping .
  9. Well they would wouldn't they . Not what it says on their website . This is for Cobra Chrome .
  10. My favourite picture of 2021. And below , my bike in good company at Coventry Motofest .
  11. Where did you find this ?
  12. Same on the Harley . The light dosen't flash indefinitely . I think mine is set to a week but it's probably reprogrammable .
  13. What year and model CG have you got please ?
  14. After all these years it's about time I got an avatar but all the pictures I try to upload have too much data . How do I make a JPEG or what else do I need to do ?
  15. Rear brake ? If you're using the rear brake it's time to sort your front ones out . I haven't used a rear brake for decades and yes , that does include the Harley . Think about it , on my GSXR there were two six pot calipers on the front and a silly little two pot caliper on the back for decoration .
  16. You CAN do that , just stick some Cobras on it . It's one centimeter for goodness sake on a 535 Virago . You really need to stand up to this bike and show it who wears the trousers .
  17. How do you expect anybody to actually know the answer to your question ? I get where you're coming from , Avon recommend Cobra Chrome but you think that a one centimeter difference in the width of the front tyre will seriously affect the handling . Something I doubt . They offer a Road rider front for the Virago but no rear is available . So you want to mix them . To be honest , 5mm either side isn't going to make a bit of difference so BUY THE COBRAS and we can all move on with our lives . ( Cobras on the left , Road Riders on the right )
  18. Grip . Difficult to answer because I've never lost grip . Handling . Well it's a Harley and despite the outdated name it's a cruiser with a high center of gravity and a long wheelbase . Mileage . About 6,000 and counting . But none of this matters when you've got a Union Jack , snakes AND snakeskin chicken strips . It would be a shame to spoil them by leaning over too much .
  19. Cobra Chrome's front and back .
  20. I've got Cobra Chrome front and back on my Harley . I'm assuming the sizes are not available for the Virago . I can't see any reason why not on a cruiser bike ..
  21. No , I was the dickhead outside the Bolton Wanderers FC ground trying to find a shady bush so that I could get out of the sun to see my phone while shouting " Why isn't this f*****g place in f*****g Bolton !? " My mood was not helped by cooking inside my leathers and busting for a slash . Well at least I have discovered first hand why it's called Bolton Wanderers . It is NOT in f*****g Bolton !
  22. Now please don't take this the wrong way but to get back to the original question . Can I ask why you need to know ? And can I also ask why you can't find out for yourself ? It has occurred to me that anyone Googling Harry Dunn is likely to stumble upon this thread and perhaps they might , at best , be a little puzzled by some of the content particularly if they have an emotional link to the subject matter .
  23. Just a few finishing touches now.
  24. I know where I'm going thanks . You can get an AA road atlas for a pound . The only time I got seriously lost was when I tried to go through Greater Manchester and they only had signage on one roundabout in three . In the end I just kept an eye on the position of the sun .
