  6. Never had any issues with the battery discharging on my Intruder, nor have I heard that was an issue with them I'd look at getting a new battery, I just bought one for approx £25 as my bike has been stood for last 18 months in my garage For reference the Main electrical issues I have come across were usually related to the spark plugs or the ht leads

  13. I know a driving instructor who has his dash cam on when students sit their test, that way if the student fails he can look at the footage and see exactly what happened and not just the annoyed students word . As long as its not facing inside the car and doesn't record audio it is fine to do this. Can't see why the same couldn't be done for a bike
  14. I caught a really bad case of the flu in Madrid. Whilst sniffling and coughing and rolling around in the hotel bed, I realised I needed medical attention, so I called the concierge to get help. "Oh, so you're sick!" came the reply. "Not a problem, we'll send our very own hotel doctor up to your room right away!" The doctor strolled into the room within seconds, and whilst I stuttered and tried to comprehend the situation, he gave me some medicine to ease the symptoms. When I finally stammered out "h...how does the hotel have their own doctor on call?", he simply shook his head and cracked a smile, and replied: "Nobody expects the Spanish inn physician."
  15. A man returns home a day early from a business trip. It's after midnight. While en route home, he asks the cabby if he would be a witness. The man suspects his wife is having an affair, and he wants to catch her in the act. For £100, the cabby agrees. Quietly arriving home, the husband and cabby tip toe into the bedroom. The husband switches on the lights, yanks the blanket back and there is his wife in bed with another man! The husband puts a gun to the naked man's head. The wife shouts, 'Don't do it! I lied when I told you I inherited money. HE paid for the Porsche I gave you. HE paid for our new cabin cruiser. HE paid for your football season ticket. HE paid for our house at the lake. HE paid for your African tour and even the 4 x 4. HE paid for our country club membership, and he even pays my Credit Card bill!' Shaking his head from side-to-side, the husband lowers the gun. He looks over at the cabby and says, 'What would you do? The cabby replies, 'I'd cover him with that blanket before he catches a f@@king cold.’
  16. Error code 19 is a problem between the ignition switch and the ECU. I'd have a look at the wiring between the two
  17. this is meant to be jokes not what you eat for breakfast
  18. I've had this one about 6 years and cant complain at all. Only two issues i've had is one of the torx sockets snapped while undoing a brake disc (trip to store with the broken pieces and my receipt and it was swapped no questions) and one of the ratchet spanners seized due to me accidently leaving it outside in the garden for approx a week (bit of oil and it got going again)
  19. I'm old enough to remember toilet paper that felt like tracing paper And come to think of it old enough to know what tracing paper is too
  20. There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job it was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about. The letter read: Dear God, I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had £100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension cheque. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me? Sincerely, Edna The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few pounds. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected £96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman. The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends. Christmas came and went. A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It read: Dear God, How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift. By the way, there was £4 missing. I think it must have been those thieving b@st@rds at the Post Office.
  21. Saw this clip on a facebook group i'm part of and thought I'd share on here https://youtu.be/VRoK_pTggrg
  22. Just had a quick look on eBay and there's a few ybr 2005 carbs available
  23. I played once and enjoyed it. Friends I played with didn't as I focused on the ball too much and had a bad habit of bulldozing them out of my way to get at it
  24. I watched Christopher Robin with my ten year old girl the other night. I absolutely loved it and she got bored and went off to watch something else in bed
