Used it with petrol ?? Or methanol ..?

WOW ... very, very Laverda ... nice ...

Indian quality, but not fuel proof...

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

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 ...

EEERRRMMMM ... Why do we need another group to dilute our effectiveness, especially with our dwindeling numbers .... ??

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.

There are 3 large Sarcens at Boroughbridge...”The Devils Arrows” .... Blue stone from Wales ..... DPD must have been busy ....

And here’s the replacement .... 48 hours from ordered to fitted .... nice one Hitchcocks ...

RE Himalayan standard screen. Excellent condition, replaced with smaller one. £35 .. free p&p

FI has replaced carbs in just about all I/C engine applications .... because its better , simpler and more reliable.

I’ve been using the yellow foam type for years ..... 40 years in fact ... always in an aviation and motorcycling environment. I use them on every motorcycle ride with usually a helmet liner (RAF flying helmet liner). Cheap, disposable and available on the walls at work every day. I would never ride without them ... they deaden down the 2 strokes and hide the 4 stroke death rattle (from new) .... Cheap throwaways for me every time .....

I would think that 90% + of motorcycle manufacturing is for the unlicensed, un regulated South Asian market. Typical first worlders, we only seem to see the high value top range motorcycles as our aspiration ... That factories are closing is worrying for lots of socio economic reasons ..... Our tiny first world usage is one thing but the 2nd / 3rd world market getting smaller is an indicator ...... of something else ... above my pay grade ... Are electric bikes taking over Asia ?

And they where never seen again ...................

Lol ... thats the one !

Me and the boy will be watching ....

I broke down very early one morning in Leigh Delamere services on the M4 .... Bearded chap wandered over and asked what the problem was ... told him and said AA was coming to get the bike and take it back to Ipswich but i was going to Truro .... So Rick Wakefield dropped me off at St Davids station in Exeter and i got the train the rest of the way ....nice chap.

Guy gets arrested for murdering Santa. There’s no evidence ... But he had probable Claus.

We watched the rugby yesterday, both matches. Julie had a bath while i did prawn cocktail and chips for dinner. She watched The Masked Singer while i read Cycling in the conservatory then we watched 2 editions of Marcella with a few glasses of wine... then to bed to read .. Throughout this entire process no one shouted “Grandad, Grandad” or “She’s got my phone” or screamed “Get out of my bedroom” ... Yes we love them, and we miss them .... but it’s like being on holiday ....

I switch off when i put the bins out for collection, and you have to remember not to bang the lids too hard .....

Nowhere to put a metal shed .... there is no access for a motorbike through the house to the back garden so it lives with a U lock and and a Oxford chain and lock under a heavy duty, padded waterproof cover ... It has been there for over 2 years now .... to nick it you would have to use a crane to lift it over the Transit, the motorhome and the Aygo. Oh.. and move the wheelie bins, both of which have motion sensor alarms fitted ....

Haven’t got a garage .... but would love one ... the Himma lives outside ...

Wasted space ... can’t park the bikes on it ....

Would you like to apply that to the current situation we find ourselves in ...??
