I drained my 600 to lay it up for a year. When I bought it out of storage I used 5ltrs of fresh e10 to fire it up and went for a run to clear the cobwebs and it ran like a dream. I went. I went back to the garage and put the drained fuel in. I got less than a mile and bike died and wouldn't restart. Called out RAC and told the mechanic about the fuel. He tried all the usual, plugs, spark, electrics, but no joy. We then drained the tank completely via the fuel pump and a battery pack so we did not flatten mine. We put 5ltrs of fresh fuel in and bike fired up immediately. The old fuel was the culprit, and it had gone a funny colour compared to the fresh stuff.

I think there is meant to be a gap so the grip does not get impinged on the bar end. NY bike has Hondas' own grips on it and there is a gap as well

There's more than enough models of bike out there to give you a rigid rear end, without buying one with it already

Mine was on the way to Northampton from Kettering. I was behind a taxi minibus and a slow moving vehicle. We had just come onto a straight bit of road, and nought was coming towards us so I looked behind me, indicated and moved over to pass them. As I got level with the minibus it pulled out and hit me. Before we parted company he then looked out his window and saw me, with a look of "where did you come from?". He sent me careering along the road on the wrong side, and the bike almost high sided me off, but I managed to regain control and stay on. The driver never indicated, or even bothered to look before pulling out into me. Now, I was behind him for a while, as there was no turn offs I could have took, I ride close to the centre line so I am visible in your side mirror, yet suddenly I'm not there---WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?

In the words of a Phil Collins/Genisis song, follow me and I will follow you

Funny enough, my phone bombards me with adverts for oil or brake pads, all from euro spares. I've only bought a can of paint and some grease from them, yet never gave them my email for a receipt., etc.

As title says, who hates stupid adverts Ones like the payment device, going oooooooh, the yodelling pizza ad, perfume ads, especially the one with Johnny Depp. Who the heck makes this crap? Even car ads no longer mean aught, they advertise models "not available in the UK" If I watch a side with adverts now I either mute it or change to BBC News channel

Oh hail @dynax

I'm with @Pie manman. I ride it all year round, then spend ages cleaning it in winter

Yes it was trinity84

Now you get to learn to ride a bike

Let's hope I haven't upset my followers feelings by cancelling them. OMG, I sound like a student (cancel culture)

I noticed I had a follower yesterday so disabled the setting in my profile. It felt odd, having a follower so I'm leaving it turned off. Anyone else feel the same, or is it just me?

I was in the pub having a laugh and a joke when the barmaid rolled her eyes at me. I rolled them back--they looked real to me

Either me or Sony. New PS4 firmware update released, (9.00) about a month back, meant to improve things/smooth out settings, etc. Some owners had issues with the update, but mine was fine. That is until I installed update 9.03, meant to correct the issues, and would have been installed automatically if online. Damn thing crashed my console. Turned it on to have a bash on Assassins Creed, but console would not load. Kept entering safe mode and asking to update to 9.03,??? WTF, I've just done that!! Have now had to undertake a complete reinstalation, which has wiped all my saved data and games,and I had hundreds of hours invested in them since lockdown started. AND I WAS ON THE VIRGE OF FINISHING SKYRIM AND AC VALHALLA. (rant over)

I should be good at it. Spent many a night on the tiles in my younger years

You could always use the "sick" emoji

Both my grandfathers were exempt from service due to the industries they worked in. My paternal grandad was a shoemaker, with the cellar or the house turned into a shoemakers paradise. The annoying thing is my old man threw all his stuff out when grandad died

Let's go find some insulate Britain idiots to poke fun at

I don't have the app, or a passport, just a small card with both jabs on it written in ink

You need your vaccine passport, if not a negative LFT, or PMR and I just can't be arsed to go through it all just to get through the door. I accept wearing a mask while there, and that should be enough

I was going to go as well, but having looked at the website instructions I'm dropping out

Looks in good nick, enjoy it while the weather holds out

When it was cold at beginning of the year my bike would not start sometimes even with a fully charged battery. The powerline is only 130 amps, the correct cca should be 190,which is what the JMT is. I carry a booster pack and had to use it a few times just to get it to turn over enough to fire up

CCA is cold cranking amps. A higher ampage means more power is available to start the bike in cold weather
