  1. Occasionally I win things for going round in circles rather quickly.
  2. People forget how dangerous seafaring is. Its one reason we observe Sea Sunday every year in July. Virtually everything we rely on daily is shipped into this country.
  3. My boat is 48 kg. I'll keep quiet about it.
  4. And just for fun one brand's weight of oil isn't the same as other brands. You have to find one that works for you and then stick with it. I had Putoline W10 in my CBF, switched to Smith and Allan W10, totally different ride. The S&A gives a much firmer front end.
  5. That's poor. A lot of modern cars don't have spare wheels, just a can of repair spray which is useless if you've hit a pothole. Someone on here put me onto Gem and we've been with then for a few years now. Never had to use them though.
  6. I would like to record my appreciation for little Billy (not his real name) who decided to have an altercation with little Sammy (also an alias) in the playground at lunchtime. This meant my dear lady wife had to intervene and was therefore late home. So enabling our postie to deliver my new suspension parts undetected.
  7. Having served with the US military I am acquainted with some of the things they do very well, and some of the things they really shouldn't be let loose with.
  8. Considering how they mangle words like 'lever' and 'vitamin' I don't think they've got much to complain about.
  9. If you've got roads 4s then I'd stick with them because they're a good tyre.
  10. I put a pair of Pilot Road 4s on my cbf. I'm very pleased with them, especially in the wet. I live in a rural area where the roads are covered in mud, gravel and have water running from fields. They cope with those conditions fine. If they've only got 2k on them they'll do 1200 miles no problem.
  11. I try to avoid using new tyres in the wet. When I fitted the last set I went out one evening and put about 70 miles on them before starting to give it the beans round bends.
  12. I had a Zoom meeting booked this morning for work, except they messed up regarding the date so when we all logged in nothing happened. Leaving me unsupervised used in front of a computer is expensive. I've ordered a springer seat from COC Customs in Australia and a set of Tec front springs and adjusters, both for the Bobber.
  13. I haven't been there in years. I bought a bikes there back in the late 90's when I dropped in for a brew and wander round and found something I liked. It was an expensive cuppa.
  14. The Bobber forum is hosted in the US, but I suppose the guys in the US who buy Triumphs tend to be a bit pro-British to begin with. Never had any issue with any of the American members. The only pillock who was picking a fight was a Brit.
  15. The Triumph Bobber forum is generally very well behaved and very helpful. You get the occasional nutter but they get banned pretty quickly. To misquote an old advert - You meet the nicest people on a Triumph.
