  1. only in my wildest dreams could I fit into size 34 jeans.
  2. 5 minutes is about my limit for these sorts of videos unless there is a real story to tell and you don't keep using the same adjectives or unnecessary profanities.
  3. Just don't try to get through France in first weekend in August, but that won't affect you.
  4. Most of Western Europe has better roads than here in the UK and they are generally less crowded as well.
  5. A quick look at google maps satellite view would prove that incorrect.
  6. This is very important. The insurer's solicitors will shaft you.
  7. Hello and welcome. Assuming that this is a bike that you need to test ride before purchasing I’d get some quotes from several insurance companies, eg Bennett’s, Carole Nash, Hastings and maybe a comparison website like Go Compare. You need the ref. number, and bike details. Armed with the quotes reference numbers go and test ride bike. If you decide to purchase you can phone insurance company and activate the preferred quote immediately. Clearly this doesn’t cover you for the test ride so you need to check that the owner’s insurance covers for this. Or you may have decided to buy it by this point and can proceed as above. Tax you can also do immediately by going to the DVLA website. I don’t know if that can be done on the phone as I’ve never tried but you can check beforehand. Good luck with the purchase.
  8. The Samsung S 10 is due to be launched on Wednesday 20th February so all the earlier models will take a hit in value. Could be worth a look if you want an android phone.
  9. Hello and welcome Dealer has to be first stop whilst still under warranty.
  10. I had an iPhone 7 Plus a couple of years ago and it was fine.
  11. Do you know the keys are still in the top box?
  12. I’m an apple fan. The iPhone XS Max is brilliant.
  13. You would probably invalidate your insurance if you put them on the wrong way round
  14. Nice but I don’t think my knees would fit comfortably on that sort of bike.
  15. use these: https://www.sealey.co.uk/product/5637205018/motorcycle-brake-piston-removal-pliers
  16. more about running out of room in garage I'm thinking of making the shed my workroom where I can move all my tools and tinker about and leaving the garage for storage/ garden stuff, kids bikes etc. In which case a decent wooden shed would be more suited, but you will still need some insulation, heating and ventilation if you are making it a man cave.
  17. A well insulated metal shed with good ventilation will probably be more secure, and reduce condensation effects. Ventilation is the key as any outside structure will get condensation if the humidity is high unless you raise the dew point temperature.
