I remember one year at the rally where [mention]Tango[/mention] was tailend charlie and had to roundup and redirect Sue and myself like a couple of lost sheep as we had taken a wrong turning!
-
My bike failed mot for not having a chain guard. It's not a requirement apparently but if the bike is supposed to have one fitted as standard and the bolt holes are there it needs to be on. I also was told to remove my rear foot pegs as I had taken the pillion seat off. Maybe I just had a jobsworth tester!! Seemed a sound enough guy though

I'd ask if she's planning on paying you in magic beans

Guess who didn't know this as a 15 year old putting together his new bike?
-
[mention]Westbeef[/mention] I've played that. Good fun if a little repetitive at times. funnily enough the game is a lot easier if you already have a knowledge of engines and what goes wrong with cars in general

You cant complain about Terminator 2 without mentioning the dirt bike with 17 gears
-
[mention]Marino[/mention] I wouldn't admit that in a public forum though I think I might have it on dvd somewhere!! Wild Hogs is ok, I kind of like Hells Angels on wheels with Jack Nicholson. There's a documentary called Somewhere else tomorrow thats meant to be good, haven't seen that yet. Brit comedy called FreeBird was a laugh from what I remember

This is very good advice as my cat many years ago was almost poisoned in this way. Not by me being careless but someone purposely putting some out on the road Apparently nowadays a lot of coolant brands contain Denatonium (Bitrex) which is meant to be the most bitter chemical compound known to man

Funny thing is, after finding it, I had a long talk with my wife about how weird it is how decorating tastes have changed. We both grew up in houses with wallpaper like that. and carpets with weird patterns. Nowadays everything is plain solid colours. I wonder if in 20 years we'll look back and think how utterly boring it all used to look
-
I did a kitchen too! when we first moved in And now Best bit though is the wallpaper I found behind the old units

I just wondered when you said you had an oil change. have you ridden it since that? I have heard of older bikes having leaks after fully synthetic oil being used. I'd wait until someone a bit cleverer than me chimes in first though
-
Whats the oil level? has it been overfilled?
-
-
Just out of interest when you say you were unscrewing it the wrong way do you mean the sump turned out to be reverse threaded? I've never come across that before but have only ever worked on older vehicles so just curious if thats the case for newer ones
-
not forgetting to put a lollipop stick between the spokes for that authentic motorbike sound
-
can you use a helicoil to fix the bolt hole or have you bent it out of shape with the breaker bar?

I was going to post a picture of a shelf I put up but I'm feeling quite inadequate in the face of the competition

Found this in Halfords, is this what you mean? [mention]Speedy23[/mention] https://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-body-repair/adhesives/supafix-apx4-ultra-strength -
I've got tons of old drill bits in my garage, will you make me one?
-
I'd look at dropping the old oil and putting fresh in. If its a carbed bike I'd drain the float bowls too

Looks great. I love abandoned buildings and want to go exploring some that I've seen. There is an abandoned sanatorium in Wales that I really want to look around I think it stems back to an old abandoned factory I played in as a child. All the machinery had been removed but there was still a lot of fun things for a 10 year old to get up to -
my bike would go until I needed fuel so approx 150 mile to 180 mile Why don't you have a look at the coolant in your bike to make sure its full. But I think you are worrying too much, Bike engines get hot, According to the manual for your bike it say if the engine gets too hot it will come up on the screen saying High Coolant Temperature Have a look at the coolant level for your own peace of mind but my advice would be to ride it and enjoy it

Hope this is useful to you
