  1. We are talking about cows not sheep
  2. Funnily thats how my Father-in-Law felt about his work as a truck mechanic in his last couple of years. All he would do was plug a computer into the truck and it would tell him what was wrong which 95% of the time was electrical. He told me as well that some systems will send a message out to the maintenance department giving them the code errors as and when they occur
  3. Wonder if Ann Summers is in the market to make a bike?
  4. Electric cow? I want to see that I would miss the fettling around with an engine, getting my hands dirty and the noise of course But the power and torque the electric motors kick out can't be denied
  5. I didn't realise it was still an insult anymore to call someone gay? I remember it being considered funny when I was in first school 30 years ago
  6. [mention]Muttly[/mention] you wouldn't be the first to dress in a frock at the rally Can't remember who it was but one lad felt a bit out of place not having a costume so he went back home and got one of his mum's dresses. Looked great with his bike boots
  7. Electric bikes are the future, no getting around that. We will all have to move with the times eventually
  8. which "filter" coffee is best for dunking Chocolate Hobnobs?
  9. is this another food related thread hijacking I sense?
  10. My eldest daughter always says cinemaS not cinema. Drives me mad "we are going to the cinemas" to which I usually respond "you're only going to one aren't you?" She doesn't understand what I mean though
  11. Sorry, couldnt help it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqzrXEcwHLQ
  12. it would be the same outcome as doing it on a regular geared bike without disengaging the clutch. In other words the potential to go splat
  13. Just the make/model of bike will help Probably some kind of breather tube or an overflow

    My boss has one and raves about how great it is. In fact he has given his kettle away as they dont have a use for it anymore. I have thought this too about it being dangerous and can only assume it has some kind of safety system involved. Like you say, it wouldn't be fun to give your hands a quick wash with boiling water
  15. Sounds like the cable is out of adjustment. Possibly too slack? You will find an adjustment nut (at the bottom end of the cable usually) similar to the one pictured that you can use to take up the tension
  16. Cheers everyone. I've decided on building my own wooden shed It'll be a 10x8 Pent Style with double doors to accommodate a future project Motorbike I've gone with wood as to me its just nicer and I'm hoping to recapture the feeling of being in my Father-in-Laws sheds where I had some fantastic memories and learning experiences until he passed away from cancer two years ago. This is what he built himself (little help from me) in the first year he was diagnosed. I can't remember the dimensions but he planned it out big enough so you could park a car in it with the doors all open and still be able to walk around He basically decided F*ck it, I'm having my dream shed while I still can.
  17. It looks very much like the old YBR. few cosmetic differences but same engine. Apparently it was an experiment for India which Yamaha decided not to carry on with
  18. Stihl for me too. I was very fortunate to buy my father in law's old one when he was selling off a load of tools. Paid £60 for it on family rates which was a bloody bargain
  19. Never seen it myself thankfully either Reading up on it the main worry seems to be the edge of the toecap cutting into your foot if the sole gets bent too far back in a crash
  20. Mythbust Mythbusters says no https://mythresults.com/episode42
  21. Hugely expensive for a 125!
  22. [mention]skyrider[/mention] It's just him and the bloke that played the vicar apparently I guess you forget sometimes how old the show was and how old they were too.
