  1. I’m 6’ 2” with a 34 inch inside leg .... totally fed up with having to have my bike seats re-upholstered as they always seem to made for short asses ....
  2. Childcare and garden sorting today. Taking the bike out for a long run tomorrow to the coast, Hornsea, and back alone the coast road to Hull then over the bridge and home ... in the rain probably but who cares ....
  3. It has a cover .. just peaking in from the LH side on top of the bin , but 2.5 years outside .. not a slightest sign of the rust ...
  4. This is where the Himma lives ... is maintained and washed ...... Just washed it .. !
  5. Wow .. thats the motorbike route ..... very different from the cycling route ... have fun ...
  6. Trooper74

    unlikely

    Another 2 weeks being told to F**K Off by benefit moles and “retired from Surrey you know” in Cornwall ..... no thanks Tenerife please ....
  7. Anyone know where i can actually get one of these for the Himma ... Hitchcocks won’t send by carrier and their click and collect does not open until 12 April.
  8. All my experience with both 4 plug and 8 plug heads has seen the pleasure graph and the cost graph meet in the wrong places. Trust me ... I’m not a doctor .....
  9. Get a Himalayan .... You can terrify yourself with 25 bhp .. trust me .... Knee down on roundabouts .... no problem ... just slower ....
  10. MMMM .... Well Born in Bangor N.I Dad born in Belfast. Met my mother when she was serving with the Navy in Belfast during WW2. Mum English. Dads parents. Ulster born and bred. His grandparents .. Scots. Mums Parents ... Welsh. I left home at 17 to join the RAF and apart from active service never returned for 35 years. but that was my own fault ... British ... tribally so ... Proud to be ...
  11. Likewise .... patio at the front of the house or the path .... but always a warmup....
  12. Thought so ... Cars only ..... The Highway Code clearly states: "You must not leave a vehicle's engine runningunnecessarily while that vehicle is stationary on a public road." Drivers can face a fine of upwards of £20 for leaving the engine on while in a stationary car; this can go up to £80 in some areas of London. You have to be approached by a Civil Enforcement Officer or Police Officer who can ask you to turn your car off and if you refuse only then can a penalty be issued
  13. I don’t think it’s a law at all .... give me a reference number someone .... it’s far too subjective .... this has urban myth written all over it.
  14. Used it with petrol ?? Or methanol ..?
  15. WOW ... very, very Laverda ... nice ...
  16. Indian quality, but not fuel proof...
  17. You will need a fluro silicone lined hose for use with petrol. It will also have to have a steel wire helix embedded between the layers to prevent collapse due to vacuum or have a wall thickness equlivent to the bore for the same reasons. Very specialist, quite expensive .... I can supply it .... but it would be made to order. Minimum 10 metres .... Stick with Nitrile ... possibly Viton
  18. So sad Bender ... Across the road from our business is a very successful kitchen company run for many years by the owner Andy and his son. Andy is tall, very fit, lovely guy ... 6 months ago he walked from the business to his car and never made it .... no history of heart disease ... 61 ... Tomorrow is the funeral of my ex wife .... she became a little breathless at work, called my daughter to collect her, but died before my daughter could get her to A&E ... 62 ... I could go on .... I’m also 62 .... Live your life like its the last week ..every week ... sit in front of the tele or walk the dog in the pouring rain .... ? ... I’ll get my coat ... Peeing yourself in a care home is not a successful life outcome ... so don’t forget to live ...
  19. EEERRRMMMM ... Why do we need another group to dilute our effectiveness, especially with our dwindeling numbers .... ??
  20. I take cash in hand, make the purchaser a coffee, go to local bank and pay cash into account ..... Putting the cash through a counter is vital, there are too many forgeries about. Then he can have a ride, if happy the purchaser rides off into the sunset, if not i take him to the bank and withdraw the cash .... But PayPal is my favourite.
  21. There are 3 large Sarcens at Boroughbridge...”The Devils Arrows” .... Blue stone from Wales ..... DPD must have been busy ....
  22. And here’s the replacement .... 48 hours from ordered to fitted .... nice one Hitchcocks ...
  23. RE Himalayan standard screen. Excellent condition, replaced with smaller one. £35 .. free p&p
  24. FI has replaced carbs in just about all I/C engine applications .... because its better , simpler and more reliable.
