Fiddlesticks

Hi @dazco Good to have you.

Morning all. Tremonti in Manchester last night. Ears still ringing

Awesome work, that man. Now you have a spare you can take to bits and refurbish

Crazy world!

Happy to offer a second set of hands / tools. (I'm no expert either).

Hi, welcome to the forum

Don't give Hoggs any ideas - the T-Shirt budget is all gone

Weird & Wonderful #6 - The Smallest House In Great Britain Weird & Wonderful #9 (mine) - Portmeirion - I mean, why not create a whole village of Italian-style miniature houses in North Wales? Weird & Wonderful #10 (mine) - Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch - I think they invented this place name as a tourist attraction. Well, we're here, so it must have worked!

North Wales #1 - The 1950s Museum, Denbigh North Wales #2 - Canolfan Tryweryn - The National White Water Centre North Wales #4 - Inigo Jones Slate Works North Wales #6 - Gwaith Powdwr North Wales Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve North Wales #7 - Llangollen Pavilion Car Park (oh yes, Google maps, just park here and it's just a short walk away - through the river!!)

Pics.... We need pics!

If you're anything like me you'll have knocked the kill switch.

There's 10cm of Kingspan above my loft room. I know because I fitted it myself. EPC man: "I can't see it, so I'll have to put down 'none'". Of course you can't see it, it's behind plasterboard, where it's supposed to be.

I do. Load of old rowlocks. The law of unintended but quite obvious consequences. It's no wonder the next generation are finding it increasingly hard to find somewhere to rent. Hardly the fault of landlords.

Always an education, this forum.

Wow. Maybe something misaligned causing early failure. Good you got it sorted with them.

I guess the speedo / odo would be affected a bit?

Not sure if they do them in your sizes, but Michelin Road 6's are great tyres.

Always worth asking - it might help someone else too Welcome in, anyway

Hi, welcome to the forum. Nice bikes, the ZZRs. Post a pic or 2 when you get one.

I'd give it a while see if you get used to it. If not, have a look at the lever, it's likely to be adjustable. Loosen off the clamp bolt, pull lever off the splines move round one or two notches and re-tighten.

Bonjour, Bienvenue. C'est difficile a louer une moto ici. Il y a quelques endroits près de Londres -recherchez "motorcycle rentals".

The Explorer is all back together, after a fashion. Did a test ride this evening and although the temporary bolts and washers holding the mudguard on look a bit wrong, they'll do until the real ones arrive. At least I don't have to steal Mrs. Fiddlesticks' Volvo in the morning. A scruffy bike beats a tidy car any day of the week.

Bit more of a frustrating day today. Both tyres and check the front brakes. In theory, nothing too tricky, but first had to assemble the new tyre changer. Then learn how to use it. It's one of those free standing gizmos, which leads to endless hilarity as it simply spins around as you try to rotate the arm. Got the rear done, then double checked the manual to remind me of the work flow for the front. "First remove the mudguard". Easy for you to say. Every bolt I touched turned to mush. Cue much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Got there in the end. But my lack of skill with the ConStands needs to be addressed. Now browsing Triumph part lists for new mudguard bolts. Maybe Wickes have something in stock. Shouldn't take too long to fit, but a bit annoying that it wasn't all done by close of play. That's life, I guess.

Have a good one.
