Just picked up a smart phone holder £6:99 from the dreaded centre isle at Aldi (I shouldn’t go there as I have magpie eyes for shiny trinkets) it’s allegedly waterproof with a earphone / charging in/outlet and it clamps to your bars. Now here’s the rub - it was on sale with the cycle stuff - will it be suitable to be used at motorbike speeds? Anyone tried one? I’d like to know in case I end up with a squished I-phone Mickly

Riding Pillion, having had 2 offs as a pillion I would rather crawl than accept a lift on the back of a bike.

You’ve been dicking about doing clutch up wheelies and drag strip launches ......... maybe

Honda C50 field bike brought for £5, 20 No6 and a snow sledge - reckon I got ripped off - only lasted 1 summer before I snapped it in half down the woods. Mickly

I bought some Alpinstars smx5 WP boots, after 2 years of weather proection ( provided I wore my trousers outside of them ) using a preventative maintenance mind set I treated them with Nikwax - what a bloody stupid idea, it seems that the WP coating resisted the Nikwax and just left it dried to the outside and now difficult to remove, you live and learn.

Wow, a free extra bonus Yum yum, fry it with a little garlic, chilli and a squeeze of lemon and it would pass for any of the pretentious bollox pedalled by the latest bunch of life style gurus Mickly

It would be a chat over a cup of tea or a soft drink as Henry Cole is teetotal, due to excesses earlier in life, still might be a good Gas though. Mickly

Result- got the ally weld done for nowt - called at a local place on the off chance and met an old neighbour, not their normal thing but did it as s favour, wouldn’t even take a tenner for a beer - also gave me the name of a contact for any future work - what a great guy. Lots of work cleaning it up, but now ready to go to the blasters / craters

I’m only 56 ... been diagnosed with an enlarged prostrate - non cancerous (phew) on tabs so I don’t shit myself when I pee - # Tango - hope it’s not a Speedtriple thing Mickly

Thanks for the link - unfortunately I’m not on Face Book (personal reasons) Mickly

I’ve got no idea how it got gouged As I’m stripping it back to the bare bones it will stand out, and more importantly- I would know it was there ... OCD me ? Probably Mickly

Not at all Turbo lag is the bane of any road bike. Superchargers are the way to go Unfortunately not an option on the survey Mickly

The ones I’ve looked at on evil bay also have some damage of some sort. I’ve dressed the chain adjuster with a file Here it is next to the non damaged one. The damaged one is at the top. Took a while and reminded me of the punishment for digression as an apprentice - squaring a block of roughly cut steel with a file. Gonna ask the powder coating guy for advice on the gouge in the arm it’s self.

What kind of £££ would I be looking at?

I’m trying to slowly create a stripped down cafe racer from a lardy 1200 Triumph Trophy, the latest issue I’ve come across is some damage to the swinging arm. I was cleaning all the cr*p off it and uncovered this: Only the previous owner could say how it happened. It’s about 1mm deep. The question is whether it can be polished out without compromising it’s integrity ( it will be powder coated) Or will it need repairing with a infill weld? Or ( heaven forbid) does it need replacing? Any other options you can think of ( a match in the tank is not one I’m prepared to consider) ? Mickly
