I inherited a MIG welder last year and though the gas bottle is still going strong the spool has now run out Before I replace it I thought I'd ask here what would be a good size to use just for general tacking and quick dirty repairs as that's pretty much my capabilities It had a .6 spool in before it ran out.

I'd probably buy that but it's [mention]skyrider[/mention] that was originally asking

I'll second wemoto

[mention]fastbob[/mention] true. its just my personal taste and to be fair, the picture I posted wasn't the nicest looking example I had another look and I think the frame looks so much better in any colour but bright red

throw chinese bikes in there and we have a tmbf party

I don't like the frame on them, I think it looks like the front fairing has fallen off No idea what they are like to ride, reliability etc though

I had plenty of storage on my old bike, pretty much a 20inch deep storage bucket under the seat so I carried loads of stuff. It sounds overboard but as it was my only form of transport and not exactly new from the showroom I wanted to be able to fix things at the roadside whenever possible. Most of the things I carried were tailored to the issues I'd come across with that bike which was mainly electrical faults, allan keys, selection of sockets and a ratchet, multi screwdriver, stubby hammer, stanley knife, electrical tape, small spool of garden wire, a tin of gungum (I had a crack in my header pipe that I kept patching every now and then) little bottle of wd40, mini tube of vaseline, pliers, mole grip (really useful if clutch cable end snaps) spare fuses, a square of sandpaper, puncture repair kit, spare spark plug. Think thats about it

Chocolate Malted Milk Biscuits are gorgeous!!

dammit, no fish & chips for me tonight as wife wanted a chinese

Hmmm, I'm working tonight 5 while 8:30. Might bring myself back a fish supper

One more brexit post and I'm breaking out the pink wafers and fig rolls. You've been warned

If you then add on Netflix, Amazon Prime etc etc it starts to add up!! I used to have UFC fight pass and WWE network at £9.99 a month each as well until I got rid. I also have a trial of youtube premium that is running out in a couple of months that is £11.99 a month to keep. Wife and kids use it all the time with their google home hub so I guess that one will have to stay

Other problem I think would be trying to actually type with bulky bike gloves on. Sjfnrn dkrois RB brh. Rkridij rhrbrbhrh aserf You get my drift

Is the chain out of adjustment? Too tight can make gear changes play up. Personally I think doing a full engine swap is a massive overkill

Many many years ago, I worked in i.t. installing computers and networks in schools. One of the first lessons I learned was that practically every teachers machine had the password taped to the bottom of the keyboard

My wifes car has a limiter you can set yourself and she has a habit of setting it at 60mph. No fun for me when I forget about it and cant work out why the car has no power on the local dual carriageway

Thieves probably dropped it, could of bent the gear selector or messed up the selector forks inside

If i'm off the bike my gloves would be off anyway so no issue. I definitely wouldn't be riding and using my phone!!

My first mot for my 125 at a main dealers garage and the tester told me it wasn't worth what it would cost to get it to pass and I should scrap it!! It needed a new swingarm and the handlebars were slightly bent upwards on the right hand side. £30 for a secondhand swingarm on eBay and I straightened the bars with a large pipe. Took it to an Independent garage and it passed

In my first school there was a row of small windows directly above the urinals that would be open in the summer. I'm sure you can guess the rest of my story

Guess what my job is? I might make myself a special fish butty with scraps tonight in honour of you all

Long read I know but you must read to the end... There was a man who was driving down the road and his car breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, "My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?" The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound. A sound unlike anything he's ever heard before. The Sirens that nearly seduced Odysseus into crashing his ship comes to his mind. He doesn't sleep that night. He tosses and turns trying to figure out what could possibly be making such a seductive sound. The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, "We can't tell you. You're not a monk." Distraught, the man is forced to leave.Years later, after never being able to forget that sound, the man goes back to the monastery and pleads for the answer again.The monks reply, "We can't tell you. You're not a monk."The man says, "If the only way I can find out what is making that beautiful sound is to become a monk, then please, make me a monk."The monks reply, "You must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of grains of sand. When you find these answers, you will have become a monk." The man sets about his task. After years of searching he returns as a gray-haired old man and knocks on the door of the monastery. A monk answers. He is taken before a gathering of all the monks."In my quest to find what makes that beautiful sound, I traveled the earth and have found what you asked for: By design, the world is in a state of perpetual change. Only God knows what you ask. All a man can know is himself, and only then if he is honest and reflective and willing to strip away self deception."The monks reply, "Congratulations. You have become a monk. We shall now show you the way to the mystery of the sacred sound." The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, "The sound is beyond that door."The monks give him the key, and he opens the door. Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man is given the key to the stone door and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. And so it went that he needed keys to doors of emerald, pearl and diamond.Finally, they come to a door made of solid gold. The sound has become very clear and definite. The monks say, "This is the last key to the last door."The man is apprehensive to no end. His life's wish is behind that door!With trembling hands, he unlocks the door, turns the knob, and slowly pushes the door open. Falling to his knees, he is utterly amazed to discover the source of that haunting and seductive sound......But, of course, I can't tell you what it is because you're not a monk.

[mention]Hoggs[/mention] Same with me last time I needed a difficult extraction. My dentist tried for a good 30 minutes to remove a molar but just couldn't get a good enough purchase on it to remove. I got referred to a specialist who used something I can only explain was like a corkscrew on the tooth until it cracked into pieces which he removed and sent me on my way! I was in and out within ten minutes

[mention]xMachina[/mention] Have a look for "somewhere on a beach" It's the follow up song and that video is hilarious
