  1. Good morning and welcome
  2. That's the one I would say we're in the same boat. But I'm sure everybody here will have a go at it....
  3. Maybe a bit late but you should get your NHS health card
  4. I always use Castrol Power 1 on both babies with service every 2 years. Works fine and when remove the oil is still in good condition.
  5. The OEM fitted in the ST1300 stop working and I wouldn't replace them. Rather go for heated gloves instead as you get better results. You can have the hardwired version or the battery powered (my preferred one as I know I would snap the cord). The gloves will keep the whole of the hand warm instead the palms as with the grips.
  6. And spend money in gas plus the time instead of spending £1 on a new one...
  7. One way I found to control my weight is to have vegetables soup in the evening and stop watching masterchef. I save a fortune in chocolate biscuits since I don't watch cooking shows. About chocolate, dark one is far better than milk chocolate. Less sugar and fat. Dark chocolate is part of your 5 a day and high in energy with relative low cal count.
  8. Adding to what @megaross says. Change your "diet" regularly. If you keep having the same diet you will have your weight platooning. Changing it as soon as you notice the weight loss isn't as accentuated as desired it's time for a change. Nothing radical, just a few different elements so you trick your body. Human body is a habits machine and really hates change. By doing so, you will "surprise" your brain (aka ego) and you keep the weight loss at the level you want.
  9. condensation will be the cause of it. I don't know of a practical solution that you could adopt other than moving to Spain or Portugal (other countries are available) The way to reduce moisture underneath the cover can only be achieved either by not having it or all the way to the ground with something holding the cover down and maybe having a dehumidifier salt under the bike. Even then I don't think that would be efficient or practiccal.
  10. I mean that if he's going straight to the MOT station and back, then it is okay. Even if he's stopped by the cops and explains he's going to the MOT the cops can confirm if they want to.
  11. The insurance will be void if he's riding without MOT. That excludes travelling to and from MOT station. Note that a wee ride after MOT in SORN is considered riding without TAX and will risk the bike being impounded plus penalty.
  12. What it is to be an estimator... Pricing Jobs | Instagram

    By any chance, does any of you guys know where I can turn the forum's logo into a semi circle? The idea is to have it along the friction zone.
  17. Own brand dealers have a "added responsibility" to protect the brand they are representing. Not that it's a guarantee of superior service...
  18. I think we all agree that rust is one of the most common causes of bike "deaths" At some point we all had to deal with rust in our machines and for sure there are many processes people have for it. I found this clip which I think is quite interesting. I don't know how well it will work on a part that is heavily exposed to the elements but could be a way to deal with it. Personally, I would still prefer the more expensive nickel plating as it would last longer. The purpose of this thread is that we can share experiences and as many different ways as possible. Thank you for watching
  19. In Scotland you would have a t-shirt, a long sleeve shirt, thermal long sleeve then your jacket. A neck thingy to stop midges getting into the lid. Trousers would have the inner warm layer. Because of my arthritis I'll use my knee thermal protection. Thermal socks. 3 pairs of gloves because you know rain is a matter of time...

    Changed my mind will only use the front disks. Can easily weld the 2 together and make a table clock. Need to give them a good clean, remove the rust and dirt. weld it in place then a good coat of clear varnish. Mechanism from Aliexpress Maybe @Stu will let me use the forum's logo.

    Maybe I'll use the 3 disks and make a clock out of it. 1 front disk as base, second front disk vertical as dial. then cut the rear disk to fit inside the base to hold the vertical bit. Watch this space
