Just wondering if anyone here knows which pension providers can manage your pension if you live abroad. Was told by moneyfarm that they can't manage the private pension for non UK residents. Because they are not advisers they allegedly can't say who would be able to take over the pension pot when I move away from UK.

Add to that the lunatic sheep in Harris. Whom after getting in magic mushrooms won't have any qualms in jumping in front of you like they are Arnold Schwarzenegger ready to take you and your bike on

A bed, shower, parking on the back. Add-ons would be restaurant nearby or in hotel, garage with private access would be ideal like I had in Slovenia. Kept the bike dry while it was pouring all night. Meaning setting off fully equipped dry and hit the rain without the annoyance of getting geared in the rain. Frankfurt I had a really nice hotel with gated parking on the back out of sight. If long stays, more then one night, then would want somewhere with secluded parking.

As @Yorky says. Looks like a battery tender connector. Usually connected directly to the battery.

Can't you make a deal with a local farmer and have the boat on his place for a cheap rent? Usually farmers have loads of space and never heard of one saying no to make a few quid

You have the kerb weight and luggage max weight allowed. From memory, no object should be further back than number plate.Ax luggage weight is related to the size of engine also Unless you live in South Asia

Follow the Swedish example. Driving standards are part of primary and secondary school curriculum. By the time they are old enough to get a licence they already know the rules and have been "bombarded" with the correct way of driving and how to be responsible and respectful with other drivers. If the test are properly done people won't need a refresher. Yes physically capable should be a qualifying factor to have a license. Keep in mind that by making it more effective you're taking business from driving instructors, car dealers and you will remove the excuses insurance thieves have to extortionate premiums.

@RideWithStyles it gets easier if the product is warm/hot. That makes it more fluid and easier to spray

One would assume it's the first check

That's a good idea. Ale a stand that lifts the bike on the frame not the wheel I bet someone else already made it

Agree with @RideWithStyles Time to get the multimeter out and check for continuity on wiring. Or check for the 12v if you don't want to unplug the battery

Automatic gearbox is becoming quite common. Goldwing have it. I know other brands started fitting them. Not something I'm interested in, so I don't really play much attention to it. Then you have the obvious one, electric bikes all have automatic gears

I do my forks with a jack under the engine.

Free space in the garage for final clear out. Will need an articulated lorry to clean the garage

That's it done took one at the time. That's what happens when your boss is a biker and a great guy Forgot to take pic of the shadow but you get the point

We must not forget that H.I.S.S. system is over 20 years old. Think what novelty gadgets we had at that time and that we make fun of them now

God went missing for six days. Eventually, Gabriel the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day. He inquired of God, "Where have you been?" God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look Gabriel, look what I've made." Archangel Gabriel looked puzzled and said, "What is it?" "It's a planet", replied God, "and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance". "Balance?" inquired Gabriel, still confused. God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth. "For example, Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while Southern Europe is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot." "Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people" God continued, pointing to different countries. And over there, I call this place America. North America will be rich and powerful and cold, while South America will be poor, and hot and friendly. And the little spot in the middle is Central America which is a hot spot. Can you see the balance?" "Yes" said the Archangel, impressed by Gods work, then he pointed to a small country in Northern Europe, "What's that one?" "Ah" said God. "That's Scotland, the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful snow capped mountains, untouched rivers, streams and lochs of exquisite, timeless beauty. The people make a drink called Uisge Beatha or Whiskey which means "The Water of Life". The people are good looking, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found travelling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard-working and high-achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as warriors, engineers, inventors and pioneers. Gabriel gasped in wonder and admiration but then said "You said there will be BALANCE!" God replied wisely. "Wait until you see the bast*rds I'm putting next to them!".

I meant income tax on pension or abroad income. There was a 10 years period where foreigners could apply for a flat 10% income tax. That's now scrapped. Tourist tax is spreading like wildfire all over the world. A new legal theft...

It's lovely yes, mostly the southern west coast. Not appealing is the new tax system

I really really really really really really really really really hate you

Are you aware of thieves going around with remote readers that will duplicate a fob inside the house and will get away with the car? That sort of people will be able to take anything they set their mind on just because they can.

The things that will go wrong on a pair of boots and will be unlikely to be worth the cost of repairs are the soles, zips, some of the seams starting to let water in and holes on the leather. Those boots aren't dead yet and a good tlc will make them last a bit longer. Reminds me when I used to buy marines boots that a shoemaker kept refurbishing by replacing soles and some times the leather straps.

That's murderer Poor wee things. Imagine if it was the other way round. And you squashed 8 times

I've heard of it but never tried. It's known that crawlers don't like citrus and cinnamon smells
