I started out using those, and Yankee screwdrivers before electricity was invented. -
Who was it Wheelie Nev.? Sure he said Jamie, although I was a bit distracted by my bike cutting out mid mot.

Hmmmm good question. Lol, I was too busy chatting to him It's just under 400hp at 20psi, has a map for 30psi but I think charge temps prob ruin that.

Got chatting to one of those mental wheelie bloke's who was at mot garage chatting about some sponsorship deal. It runs a garrat gt30 turbo, showed me one of his wheelie runs, lifted at 174 dropped back down at 193, apparently he's had it to 217 but not had it full boost.

Well mot got off to a good start, not. Went to collect bike which I thought was finished, mot bloke was only doing batches on sat morn so I was told to take it for 11, no problem until Battery decided to pack in, stuck it on charge, took it for a bit of a run, went for mot, it cut out during mot, bump started it and returned back to garage keeping revs above 5k or it just cut out, return leg was interesting. New battery fitted now and all is good, mate had acquired one and it was waiting for me when I got back to garage. I need beer.

Bender replied to Tankbag's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Not only that the earth can fur up when permanently connected! don't ask me why but they do This was a massive problem on the rider v1 and the mount would stop working Get it on a switched live if you can @Tankbag Earth connection furring up is down to electrolysis, its just down to the flow of electrons, on old cars with positive earth it used to cause corrosion on the bodywork, they switched to negative earth cause its easier to replace cables and connections than bodywork. -
You my friend have lived a sheltered life I have had a very healthy respect for any kind of power tool since our woodwork teacher had his fingers pulled off on a vertical sanding disc . I also knew a girl whose hair had gone into a lathe at school . Luckily it yanked a big piece of scalp off before she was pulled in . The hospital grafted it back on . So I've always been extra careful and it has paid off . What used to hurt more than the lathe chuck key stoting of your head on the way to the ceiling? The blackboard rubber stoting of the back of your head because A you started it up with the key still in the jaw and B you didn't pull the guard down.

You can't run to the hospital with every little niggle I'd agree if it was just a slight burn but that's a 1st degree burn so bit more than just a niggle I was alluding to his resilience, having spent more than a few hours in A&E it always makes me mad when you see what some of the f*ckwits belive are an emergency. At least with triage some of them don't make it past the door. I have seen on multiple occasions the police fetching the salt of the earth (scum) who invariably are delaying a trip to the cells, funniest was a prick who said his right shoulder had been dislocated, passed triage, booked in, sat down, nurse came out to take notes and he said it was his left shoulder, he was obviously pissed and or stoned, police dragged him off laughing.

I stapled myself to a curtain tieback once, was in a hurry and instead of using clamp type stapler, I grabbed fixing stapler and promptly put a 14mm t50 staple through it and into my thumn , I didn't laugh at the time.

Was long time ago but I remember it well, that's nothing to the things I inadvertently did as s a kid, I was a nightmare for my poor mother.

When I was young I almost fainted, was cutting carpet for my landy to absorb the water so the carpet would freeze in the winter. It's a landy thing. Wasnt the knife it was the razor edged steel straight edge, slipped off steel, (using edge of Wall) straight over metacarpophal joint index finger on right hand, said ouuch a few times, held with other hand, didn't feel too bad, let go, so far so good, bit blood, wiggle finger bit more blood, bent finger, skin peeled white joint popped straight through, had diminishing vision and had to sit down. Got back up after feeling rather stupid, stuck finger back together with insulating tape and finished off carpet.

I could write a book weekly on self inflicted injuries, worst a couple of year ago was burying a stanley knife in my leg, stitches hospital back to work.

My MOT certificate tells a different story unless I did it at home Up to the early 80's I could phone up and get an MOT! Nothings changed on that score just the price is higher.
