  1. What would you want for the panniers and pannier racking? I've been thinking of getting some for mine. On the battery bolt cover it with penetrating oil and let it soak in. The injectors can be cleaned with redex
  2. Provisional licence and a 600cc not allowed, and you cannot get Insured to ride it on the road unless accompanied by a instructor/examiner, and wearing a hi viz tabard from the testing school pointing out you are under instruction. So, unless he suddenly acquires a full licence he can't get it back
  3. Slighy off topic, In the late70s early 80s I worked at a engineering firm called Brown Brothers. We made stuff for the aircraft industry, working to micron tolerances. At the time BOAC was changing, and the industry was suffering as a result. BB offered everyone a payrise, but the union wasn't happy with it so called for Industial action, something I wasn't prepared to do. BB came back with a new offer and a change to the piecework rates, and this was accepted. 3 weeks after the new wage came into affect the toolroom walked out on strike, because the disparity between skilled and semi skilled pay had shrunk. Because of lost production some companies (BA, Quantas) took their business elsewhere, and within a year BB shut up shop, putting 112 people on the dole, and it was just shy of me serving 4 years apprenticeship
  4. The last bit. People/businesses everywhere are struggling to return to normal life after the pandemic and its effects, many having to close down. Then you had WFH, so hardly anyone was commuting to work so we had clear roads and cleaner air, but that meant rail companies losing money, and a lot of people will have now found alternative means to commute, or still WFH, so less income. So what do the rail unions do? Call for industrial action, further damaging their relationship with the commuters. Who is going to keep using trains if the can't rely on them running? If they win a large pay rise who will pay for it, the commuters, that's who, and we are already struggling to cope with higher energy/food Costs. To me, they are all too bloody stupid to see the damage they are doing to their industry, and if they loose their jobs it's there own fault
  5. I can be quite civil, and take a good guess about some stuff, so would that do?
  6. Isn't the first one really a secret missile launcher disguised as an exhaust?
  7. I should be extremely quiet. I spend a lot of time well and truly baffled

  10. In older models, and I assume they haven't changed much the wiring chafed between the headlight and the steering stock (Z400, bought year they launched)

  16. Must be a long way away, I can't even get the website to load
  17. And talk about tea and biscuits
  18. The engine is basically the same as the one in my cbf. They can be a bit vibey at certain revs, and I'm still looking at ways to reduce the affect on my handlebars via different bar weights, but overall they are a good bike
  19. Can't say I've heard of them
  20. Where that idea come from? I know, let's build an electric/battery driven car and stick lots of energy using lights on it
  21. Hyundai, what a liverpudlian says to his best mate
  22. That's a throwing stick for the next door neighbours' yappy lapdog
