Self-checkout!!!!!!!!!!
Monday, I went shopping at nearest Sainsbury.
When I went to pay all counters were empty and only available the self-checkouts
So, I told the lady near the self-checkouts to get my basket and put the items back because "I'm not doing your job!"
As principle I don't like people to do my job. So, I absolutely refuse to do others' work.
Plus, I'm not covered by their insurance if something goes wrong.
Pay people decent salaries and stop exploiting the ones who pay the money to be served.
There is a reason why I don't do buffet restaurants. If I'm paying to eat out, I want the entire service.

The constant notifications on my phone.
Why do I have to know that I have spent some money 20 seconds after I completed the transaction?
Not to mention all the other notifications I get during the day with shaite emails.

Regarding gloves...
Why manufacturers make expensive gloves but don't give a oot about the seems?
You spend a fortune in a decent pair of gloves and the damn seems keep rubbing and pressing against your fingers.
Not ideal when you plan to do 8 hours riding

I've used marine waterproof product used on boats.
Brilliant and last for ages.
A product called starbrite

I never understood why people go for walks....
If humans were meant to walk we would have wheels.
Feet are for standing.
Need proof?
Look at a table. they have feet for standing still and wheels if they are meant to go around.
Plus, never heard of anyone getting injured by sitting on a sofa....

I strongly recommend that you watch a guy on YT with a channel called Oficina Mesquita. oficina MESQUITA - YouTube
You won't understand what he says because he's Brazilian and only talks Portuguese. However, you will learn a lot with his channel.
I would be careful with Hammerite as rust will go through it very easily.
About prep work. (As per Mesquite)
Do as much perfection as you can during prep and you will see the results when you finish. 95% of the result lies in preparing the surfaces.
Good quality paint will last much longer even more on a motorbike.
I'm considering spraying my Pan and will be ordering the products from these guys
Degreaser, you should get proper paint degreaser or as alternative carbs or brakes cleaner. Acetone is a great solution but doesn't remove everything.
Spraying or painting with quality is an expensive "sport" but
About the forks,
You want to make sure you remove all the clear coat and correct any scratches/imperfections on the forks. At the end they are exposed to lots of aggression, high speed impact by dust, sand and even small stones (if you're lucky no large ones).
Finally, a top quality filler goes a long way.
Some pics of the work will be appreciate by everybody here

Brilliant idea. If I drill a couple of holes in my helmet I can bolt that to the back of it and clean my visor at the touch of a button.
Then use a second hose to fill it up on the go....

Just a wee question.
What is the problem of stopping for 1 min? does your timing is so perfect that 1 min delay creates a huge problem in your life?
I mean, stop somewhere safe, get whatever you want to use to clean the visor. Clean the visor and put it back where you get it from.
Set off again when safe.
If this takes more than 2 min I will eat my hat...
Not that I have one.

Maybe I misunderstood the title.
When I mean using the microfiber cloth I mean stop clean it, have a coffee and get back on the road.
while riding the only "cleaning" I do is rain by turning the head both sides and let the wind do the work.
-
I found that microfiber cloth works really well.

First world problems...
I doubt any of the millions of riders in Saigon are wondering if their tyre pressures have changed since they pumped them up.
The handbook on any vehicle gives the answer you seek. " check and adjust tyre pressures with cold tyres".
Job done.
Don't know about Saigon.
In Indonesia is common to see someone with a small compressor ready to check the pressure and add some air to the tyres of any biker passing by.
Same with 1.5l plastic bottles of petrol on remote areas.

Was a slow puncture that lead me to get the tmps.
Well worth the 30 quid I spend on it
-
I remember in 2019 while touring to Portugal I had the TMPS showing the correct pressure/temp until I crossed to France.
Had to stop as the alarm went of showing over 50psi instead of 36.
All depends on outside temp and riding speed plus weight you're carrying.
I noticed the front tyre won't increase pressure and temp as much as rear one.
I think this is because rear tyre does all the hard work and gets hot air from the engine while the front always gets fresh cooler air and doesn't have to cope with pushing the bike.

Long story short.
2011 Bought this amazing sound system.
Nothing fancy, but with all the bits I like plus proper old fashion speakers (can't be bothered to take a pic of them).
2 years ago the screen stopped working. Called Pure to be told that model was discontinued and they would offer me 20% discount if I would by a more up to date model.
Problem is, Pure only makes shaite models with plastic speakers instead of proper ones.
Managed to get a screen from china, 30 min work opening the system and replace the screen. working as new.
Magnificent sound btw.
