    No Excuse!

    The thing is, the chain is what you can see. What else is under the covers and the "poor" guy will find out a few months from now? Note: poor should be read as IDIOT!!!!

    No Excuse!

    Can I ask... Why on Earth the guy even touch it??? I would have just turned to the seller and asked for my money back.
  4. I just don't ride in the cold winter so it won't be an issue for me. Having said that, wouldn't be the case that a good wash with the pressure washer after a ride or a couple times a week for frequent rides should solve the problem. Of course while using the pressure washer you have to be careful with wheel bearings and the like. For chain bikes a wee spray after washing would complete the job.
  5. Happy B'day
  6. Is that for your zzr? a bit more details before we can give you a diagnostic...
  7. As long it's not in public road you don't have to do the MOT. You want to keep the insurance (if comprehensive) just in case but the MOT is only required if it is driven. On insurance matter you can contact your company and have a mileage adjustment for free because of covid-19. I got just under £30 from mine
  8. Or, you can just delegate the task [mention]Stu[/mention] 2 XL for me Black or blue like the snoods and a small logo on the front top left and a large logo on the back.
  9. Call me crazy... I would travel to England get either a cheaper bike than you would get there and enjoy a weekend trip back home. Or, you can get a better bike for the same money and enjoy the trip as above
  10. If it gets even a few people to stop reading that disgraceful clickbait excuse for a publication then I'm happy. I liked particularly the "facts" for the aspirin... It prevents but it causes too. Next they will say that eating 10kg of lemon a day isn't good for you.
  11. Some people have too much time on their hands... How many weeks have that idiot spent creating that list? regardless of the grade of mince in it.
  12. Other similar places you can find them are: www.bangood.com www.dhgate.com www.aliexpress.com www.gearbest.com Personally I prefer Aliexpress and Dhgate as they are the best quality even if a bit more expensive. All 4 sites work in similar way, you pay the site, they ship the items, you receive them weeks later, you try the items and if you're happy you set the item as received so the money is released to the seller. I never had a problem that the seller wasn't quick to solve as they value a lot the 5 star feedback. If the seller doesn't reply adequately the site will refund as they want happy costumers. Note, I don't have a commission
  13. For that you just need one of these. gently scrub the SS parts and you will have the work done for you. Make sure you have a bucket of detergent and water nearby to avoid scratching it. The brass ones are softer and will not scratch the surface When I say gently, I mean REALLY GENTLY!!! Unless of course you try to scrub the life out of it.
  14. I've had a Spanish licence since 2008 or thereabouts. No test required......because of the EU equivalence. From January on that will change......and Brits will have the same third country status as Americans, Aussies etc.....so they'll need to retake tests. Thought that would be the same as EU citizens living in the UK, I changed my license to an UK so the insurance was cheaper.
  15. Just found out that in those gloves I mentioned you can get spare batteries for £35(ish) so it will give you a bit more riding time. If you're good with soldering and electronics an upgrade on the batteries is also an option.
  16. Are they in Chinese? They're genuine BMW......with comprehensive instructions in English! But I'm not good with instructions! Or tools! Any good with bikes?...
  17. You can get them sooner if you're willing to pay for express delivery. Personally I just sit and wait
  18. The other day I've come across these ones. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000299376803.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.65712de7syihcR&algo_pvid=5819557a-5594-4b61-9810-052c1796155c&algo_expid=5819557a-5594-4b61-9810-052c1796155c-0&btsid=0b0a0ae216031823857415545e03f6&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ They are some of the most expensive at just over £67 while you can get a lot cheaper at around £10 but this is one of the situations where you get what you're paying for. What I found is the more expensive have a larger battery.
  19. Happy Birthday
  20. You wold, wouldn't you... Last year because of the exit, no exit kerfuffle I got the international licenses to ride to Portugal, needed 1 for Portugal and France and a different one for Spain. Last time I check there was no changes. They are still acquired at Post office for £5.50 each Strange! .. According to the Post Office IDP checker No International Driving Permit is required for Spain, France or Portugal! .. You should also only need one! Currently yes. After 31/12 this is what gov.uk says: "Driving You may need extra documents from 1 January 2021. You might need an international driving permit (IDP) to drive in some countries. If you’re taking your own vehicle, you might also need a ‘green card’ or valid proof of insurance and a GB sticker." https://www.gov.uk/visit-europe-1-january-2021 https://www.gov.uk/guidance/driving-in-the-eu-after-brexit
  21. I would imagine it would be the same as any non UK Licence holders coming here, ie their licence is valid for 12 months You wold, wouldn't you... Last year because of the exit, no exit kerfuffle I got the international licenses to ride to Portugal, needed 1 for Portugal and France and a different one for Spain. Last time I check there was no changes. They are still acquired at Post office for £5.50 each
  22. I would be more concerned how UK residents license is accepted in the EU. Currently you need a heep of international licenses depending on how many countries you visit...
  23. Don't forget to measure the resistance between ends after soldering. That will determine the quality of the soldering
  24. It could be the float(s) being to high and too much petrol in the float chamber. The service manual should tell you the correct level for the floats. The adjustment is usually just carefully bend the metal bit that actions the float valve

    Adhoc meets

    I can't vote. When I go for a run mostly is alone (with missus) and most times I leave home early morning and will arrive home late evening. A few times I did some camping or stayed in an hotel/B&B overnight or more if during a long weekend. I also would do some shorter rides. So my vote would be more like "all of the above"
