OI!! 2 because I can't be bothered dealing with it after first one

Just get a 6in X 6in (15 X 15cm) 5mm plywood bit to put under the stand, it will spread the load and prevents any markings. Those tiles are usually antislip. Industrial grade ones are chemical resistant too

Usually I stop them with a slow long breath in then an even slower breath out while I relax my chest. A bit like a quick meditation. It works every time after the first or second hiccup

as @Tiggie says, possibly keep that one for parts and get another one. Rebuild of engine it will be expensive

Knowing little about those bikes I would say that a second opinion could be a good idea. More than once I was told that I had a problem with the bike that someone else said to not worry about it. How many miles do you have in it?

GOOD IDEA Let's make a contest of the most messy garage/shed

Now you're taking the P&ss That is just embarrassing...

Maybe I even make an electric chair for @Tiggie Even better... How about a mobility scooter

Of course I've finish it that's a new mess for my new desk

never mind...

Have you thought about hiring a bobcat?

Busy people have no time to clean up

How does that compares to this?

That's is a very tidy place

Pest

Time for a new one for sure

I wouldn't trust RM to find their own behind... try www.parcelmonkey.co.uk to find a proper courier that will do what you want. Or, as my pal @dynax says, why not a we trip to the cold and wet Scotland

Your boss would have been the first ever to get builders to complete a job in time.

I wonder if someone could take over one (or a couple) of those abandoned properties.

Found a leek on the fuel line on the shadow. That's me down the shop later on for some new fuel hose.

Good morning Windy. freakin cold but clear sky for now. Rain later for sure.

Hi Ian, I use methylated alcohol (MA) because it is inert to metal and plastic in the hoses and have cleaning properties. Usually, when running it in the brake system I will action the brakes a few times to move the pistons and help cleaning. The use is not intended to have any hydraulic capacity. If was to be used as such the water content will become a problem so it must be ensured that is not subject to high pressure as it would occur in a closed system. But this is not a problem is used only to flush the system. The only caution needed is to make sure clear brake fluid is running through the purge valve replacing the MA, because the alcohol is purple it is easy to spot. and that the operation is done without interruption. Having said that if the MA is left for a couple hours "soaking" the system this poses no issues. I've done it on all my bikes, mostly because all of them are Honda with CBS, I have used it also in my cars and never had any problems. I service my calipers every 2 or 3 years depending on mileage and never found any sign that MA would be an issue. I know people usually just push new fluid on used and make a direct replacement but my opinion is that brake fluid have no cleaning capacity and the direct replacement doesn't remove the surface coating the used fluid will deposit throughout the years.

By improving my understanding I'll have a better control of how I express myself

PS: But I love to wind up people
