Isn’t a leaky flange now known as a WAP ?

Bugger, only just seen this, 2 of the grand kiddies had sleep over with us last night & were booked for dinner at 13:00, otherwise I’d have been there.

Cleaned, dried, waxed & polished the mighty Speedtriple... Would have time to bake the bread & churn the cheese to make cheese on toast before I’d finished !!

Yep, really Got the tip off from Dave at Carr’s Car parts in Coundon. It’s not well signposted off Torrington Ave. Is the memorial to Gavin Carlton still in good order in Torrington Avenue ? Yep, it’s well maintained & flowers laid on his anniversary.

Oh FFS ! Really ? Yep, really Got the tip off from Dave at Carr’s Car parts in Coundon. It’s not well signposted off Torrington Ave.

This guy is a 15 min walk from me, really useful knowledge & reasonable prices. He also has a stall at some of the classic bike / car shows https://www.wrightsautosupplies.co.uk/

Romans did absolutely nothing for anybody. Other than Aqueducts, Paved roads, Salaries and currency, war strategies, wine, roman baths, innovative construction methods terrain surveying, straight line roads (I know, not on top 5 in bikers list) flag signal for communication (still used by navy) cooked food, food conservation by salt, waterwheel, advertising and trademark, plumbing and sanitation, Towns (large ones) and cities, Roman architecture, Julian calendar (the one we use nowadays) http://www.history-for-kids.com/romans-did.html Other than that. Romans did absolutely nothing for us... And peace. Peace !!!! ... F*ck off !!

You may be glad of the small rubber one, I had one similar to the one Bonio is giving away & it scratched the top yolk of my old Speedtriple to buggery.

I think it is also illegal to set off a 50 shot firework cake underneath one .... so don’t do it folks

Could you drill a tiny hole in the back & poke it out?

Can you imagine following a two stroke that smells of Dew Drenched Morning Raspberry. It's not quite the same. I’m sure you used to be able to get Strawberry scented 2 stroke oil at some point.

I was talking to some JLR boffins about 10 years ago about this kind of technology, they were developing an App that you could down load to your vehicle - ICE/Hybrid at the time & pick a engine sound, everything from V12, turbine to tank ( even emulating the noise of the tracks), although this was for the benefit of the people in the vehicle rather than external, dunno what happened to it.

Thanks, Think I’ll look into that, it took me ages to get the liner back in satisfactorily - especially the cheek pads. Ordered 1 from Sportsbike shop using the link on this forum.

The old guy in some kind of Audi on the A303 yesterday. At this point it was a dual carriageway. He was sat in the outside lane with nothing on the inside lane, as I caught up he just sat there, so being a good boy I didn’t undertake him, just sat in the LH lane about 20 metres back from him, hoping he’d pull over and let me pass, I was not tailgating him but his speed slowly started to rise from 70mph to about 90 mph which I matched, we eventually hit some traffic & I had to pull into the RH lane, he then took his foot off & rolled back to 70MPH, as soon as the traffic cleared he stayed in the RH lane and up to 90 with me again in the LH lane about 20 metres behind him ..... then we met some more traffic & it all started again ..... this time when the traffic cleared I f**ked off up the LH lane, he briefly gave chase & flashed his lights but gave up at *** MPH & miracle - he moved into the LH lane !! Why do people do this?

Last set done in one post & challenge points updated - I’ve claimed the park cafe in Cornwall but might need a Hoggs adjudication as the gate was locked & I couldn’t find a way in.

On yer bike

I’ve hand washed it with kiddy shampoo.

Not sure, coz it’s got hard plastic bits attached.

Aye, it does

H’mmm, If I’d kept it I reckon it would have fermented well with the addition of a little sugar .... no need for extra yeast!!

So do any of you Greebo’s wash the lining if your crash helmet? This is a sample of the water after washing the liner of my Arai, 2 years since it was last washed & after a sweaty trip to Cornwall & back.

Just found out that my step daughter has kicked her useless twat of a bloke out, I’d like to think that it’s coz I showed him up as the lazy git he is, but apparently it’s coz he’s been playing away And I’ve been told to be nice to him for the grandkids sake !! Gonna test my resolve this one !!
