  1. Looks perfect job we'll done
  2. Sorry to hear that. My wife sold her property when she moved in with me we were in 2 minds whether to rent it out but for me it was a lot of stress. Hope you get a new Tennant lined up shortly. When I used to rent many many years ago I had some great landlords
  3. To make t fair what don't we all just drive/ride in the middle? No left and right then
  4. And undoubtedly you will also get piles!
  5. This company is local to me I know they are a keeway dealer maybe a other port of call they stock a lot of spares if motogb don't have them. Good luck with sourcing a part Denis.
  6. Exactly at least an oil if applied well should prevent this
  7. I'm no expert but seemed a fair review of a few products but American
  8. Update on this thread as I've had the PDL on the chain for about a month. Personally I don't think it's any good in the winter. After cleaning the chain with the PDL cleaner/prep thoroughly and applying a Liberal coat of lube I'm now seeing rust in a few places on the chain after 2 applications. I think I will do what I have done previously use gear oil in the winter and try the pdl again in the summer. It is good in terms of drying and not sticky and no crud has stuck to it but not great corrosion wise so I'd imagine I'd start getting tight links over the winter. Therefore I don't think it's worth the money and I'll use it up then maybe use the motul paste when it runs out
  9. Looks amazing and great to hear the story behind it
  10. Might be able to stretch to a c90
  11. As suggested the pcx is a good move or maybe a cb125f the new one has a super frugal engine probably one of the most economical and consider a drybag as a rucksack and a top box
  12. I can sketch some pictures for one if you like
  13. Saturdays were great for sport!
  14. Makes sense and everything sporting wise seems to come down to sponsorship and how much money you can squeeze out of the public. I stopped watching F1 in the Schumacher years just thought I know the result before the race is run. For many years there's never a tight competition and it's very rarely shown on terrestrial TV. Bit like football it's all commercial and for profit. Example I had corporate tickets for wolves West ham last year friends from London coming up and the fixture got changed last minute Saturday to Sunday for Sky. I couldn't get that day off and missed out, no regard for the fans. I was lucky no change this year and had a good day with my West ham chums even better as Wolves managed a win. I grew up being able to go to a sporting event which was affordable and if not could watch on the TV. Feel sorry for children today as they can't grow up watching their sporting idols unless parents have money and there lies the pressure on parents to be able to find the money. And my final rant I don't like the constant link in sport to gambling it can destroy as many lives in some way as tobacco sponsorship did but that wasn't ethical but the gambling and booze sponsorship is?
  15. Great Kevin is back
  16. Ahh well their loss. As for the winter riding I liked your pic on your recent camping trip. I love seeing photos puts things in prospective. As for the E10 thing don't worry it will be old news next year just bypass it. As for polishing stuff and cleaning etc I'm in that bracket at the minute not feeling that well and restricted to what I can do at the moment. Broad range of people on here some ride all year some don't we all have different views bit like people you meet in general. Like you I ride a Honda I'm sure some people find us Honda people a bit odd, I'd like to say I'm strange not odd and certainly not sinister
  17. That arrow was very professionally done nice touch!
  18. All you can do is give your views and not get hung up on others. Theres always negativity in life and others you won't get on with, just rise above it and be happy. A good sense of humour helps especially on this forum. I've seen some positive comments to your posts too on here!
  19. No that sounds sensible I'm sure it would be a lot higher if you didn't take the steps you have. Hopefully some meds will help too in your case
  20. I must be in the minority then. I ride mine all year round but always interested in bike related stuff. You may be surprised on this forum. Most people down my pub have very little interest in bikes normally more football and local stuff.
  21. Looks like the pitstop timing worked in the favour of Red Bull I'm thinking there is an element of luck and strategy as well as driver skill. I know there's a lot in the press and it's a Lewis or Max type viewpoint but it was the closest season for a long time I guess. Hamilton will most likely be more hungry for taking the crown back next year but have potentially a tougher team mate too.
  22. I'm hoping that will be what I have. Not really wanting an operation but if it makes me feel better and able to do stuff without feeling breathless ill gladly take the risk. I've got another 9yrs in my job and the current management aint supportive if I can't pass the fitness test every year they will redeploy me. I'm hoping occ health will be able to offer some support doesn't help all adds to the stresses and wife still not given the cancer all clear so a lot on. Tell me more yorky hoping it gave you a new lease of life!
  23. Just phone your GP they can prescribe meds over the phone if they don't do face to face. Might get you to wear a 24hr BP machine for accurate readings
  24. It's important to keep tabs on your BP I have bought a machine from the chemist wasn't expensive. Just keep pressuring your GP if they dont sort it. I was lucky I had a good GP who kept messaging me for BP updates. As westerly has done reduce salt, after a while your taste buds adjust and I know its a pain but exercise in any format helps reduce your resting pulse and puts less pressure on the old ticker. I'm in a catch 22 atm high BP my genetic hyoerfamilial cholesterol is not responding to med even though doubled and these have put pressure on the aortic valve which they have discovered was deformed from birth. Getting older has only just made it noticeable and explains why my asthma meds never worked and we're constantly changed its not asthma its the heart not being able to get the oxygen round v well apparently. Make sure your GPs sort it gents
  25. Are your GPs treating this I have issues and they have put me on meds the 1st I had side effects with ramipril but I'm on candesartan and fine and has bought it down. They had to bring my BP down as they have discovered I have a heart valve problem which I'm hoping they will be able to do something with as I'm struggling to do my job now. It's really important to sort blood pressure hope they are on top of it.
