  1. I killed Bambi on the Military road between Coulport & Garelochhead, it hurdled the Armco straight in front of the car - made a right mess ( would have been horrendous on a bike ) kids in the back were hysterical, luckily it was dead & didn’t have to dispatch it, dragged it to the side of the road so no one else hit it & repaired the front of the car with Duct tape & string which lasted all the way back to Cov
  2. My worst was ear to home approaching a x roads at night, my right of way, van approaching from the left junction stopped & looked, saw me & thought he’d got time, which he would have ( just ) if he hadn’t been in the wrong gear or something, so he pulled out to cross & bogged down, I slammed on the brakes, locked the back wheel swerved & just managed to just miss the rear of the van, unfortunately went into the curb of the road to the left, over that and straight through a hedge separating from my GT500 into a field, the van f*cked off. managed to pick myself up ( a bit bruised & scratched ) & by some miracle the bike was ok (ish ) trouble was I couldn’t get it back through the hedge, so parked it against a locked gate & walked home, counting my lucky stars. Following day I managed to find the farmer who had the lock to the gate & was on my way.
  3. You wanna be my age It’s all Funeral plans, Stairlifts & Equity Release

  6. I’ve been listening to the ‘ Dark Net Diaries ‘ Pod cast - as far as scams go, it seems that crypto currency’s not only enable a huge amount of scams but are also responsible for them.

    Love This

    ‘‘Twas my 60th yesterday & as part of my prezzie my lads commissioned this caricature of me I absolutely love it, an A3 print is on the post.
  10. Here it is, https://www.hoar-park.co.uk/ Probably best to wait for a dry day or you’ll end up as Mississippi no mates
  11. Plus the smell of booze on their breath & nicotine stained fingers.
  12. Lovely dry & crisp morning - rode to Cinders, lots of bikes I reckon on about 50 - 60
  13. Plus a rabid Rottweiler tethered to the seat …. Can sell you my ex for the job if you’d like
  14. Depends if they think it’s worth nicking having looked under the cover.
  15. Maybe, but I wouldn’t want to put any extra stress on the cam chain.
  16. Yep, Sprint Manufacturing
  17. New BMW S1000RR ?
  18. The newly announced updated MT10?
  19. A huge pink Unicorn Dildo? Am I close?
  20. C’mon you tease .. WTF is it ?
  21. T.14 mark on the Ignition rotor aligned with the centre of the pick up coil. Cam shafts placed with cam chain over them & arrows on the sprockets pointing inwards Cam shims and journals oiled, Cam caps oiled, fixings oiled & hand tightened to just nipped up then torqued up to 10 N/M in a cross cross pattern - this is not a lot & I could have easily over tightened by hand. I believe @fastbob has previously stated that this is a critical time to use a torque wrench. Chain tensioner to be fitted … @onesea said the spring should be replaced as it’s a weak point - Spec says it should be 73.5mm long. I resisted the urge to stretch it So new spring to be ordered - thus ends play until it arrives.
  22. I find leaving them be & thus preventing Mrs Mickly from entering the garage is the best policy 🕸🕷
  23. How about something like this? FEIN 31345119010 Kabelhalter Cable Holder, Black, Size https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LBBMG8U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_Q8W6G2T1ZHYXVR35D2AH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
  24. I sealed my garage concrete floor with PVA & then painted with Wickes garage floor paint - 2 years later it was flaking off !!
