  1. Group of us once booked a evening meal at a posh pub in Boughton on the water. We settled in, ordered our food and drinks,and waited. And waited. Cue lots of shouting and the sound of things being thrown (not us,from the pub's kitchen) ,then silence. About 5 minutes later the pub manager comes over to our table, and tells us the chef has had a hissy fit and walked out, and could the pub arrange for us to have our meal at another pub? We all ended up with bog standard pub food somewhere else, split over 4 or 5 tables instead of the one
  2. Bloody spellchecker! It's supposed to be capeable
  3. We are not capable of such things
  4. Would have gone if I still had my bikes
  5. And now, the time has come, to take on new adventures It's time to see a dentist, and get a set of dentures I need to ditch the jeans, and get some loose fit trousers, And now, like villages everywhere, I'm in need of a bypass
  6. To the tune of a Dido song. I could go down with these hips And my knees won't work for much longer The need to go and have a wee, has now become much stronger Now I'm getting older I get pain in my shoulder
  7. @onesea, you want Google cloud storage, which is the service you've paid for, if ive read your post correctly
  8. Google drive is an app,basically for storing small amounts of data, I believe. My drive has 15gb of storage space so I don't bother using it
  9. Try creating compressed files, using winrar or something similar, and reduce the amount of storage space needed
  10. What about ankle protection that wraps/straps around the ankle as a compromise? CBT only really wants the vulnerable part of the foot protected, so get something that fits round the instep or heel on your shoe, that then wraps around your ankle? ( or even a shin guard)
  11. After the fiasco over my licence I had to do CBT mods1+2 to get back on my 250. On the CBT, after all the classroom stuff we went through the basics in the car park before going on the road. The instructor taking the bike group had me and one other. After the manoeuvres session he spoke to me, saying he good see I was experienced, but the other guy had never ridden a motorbike before so would need lots of attention out on the road, but didn't need to do much with me,so did I mind just tagging along whilst he dealt with the other chap. I said I was OK with that , so we went out and I just pootled along behind the instructor, until he told me to make progress and wait at a roadside snack joint until he turned up. I just went for it, just to see what the little Suzuki could do, though it wasn't much as it was a school bike and pretty much knackered with brakes that would have been crap on a pushbike
  12. Unless you move off immediately after the emergency stop you will have to put your feet down, unless you want to fall over, as there is no foward motion to make gyroscopic forces work. The bike needs to be moving to remain upright
  13. When I moved recently there was no room in this place for all my stuff, so I gave a lot to charity. This included all of my camera equipment, boxes of DVD's, books, and a rather decent, large flat screen TV with removable speakers and a rather nifty electronic swivel system (you can swing the screen from left to right and vice versa) so you could alter the viewing angle. Nobody wanted it ,because it's not a smart TV. I used to connect my gaming consoles to it due to its size and picture quality, though it doesn't have a tuner so no channels unless you use a digibox
  14. From gov.uk. For Compulsory Basic Training (CBT), you need to wear sturdy footwear that protects your ankles and provides a good grip This means avoiding trainers, canvas shoes, and sandals, and instead opting for boots or other shoes that cover the ankles. Leather boots, Doc Martens, or walking boots are acceptable, but avoid steel-toe-capped boots.
  15. That looks nice. What do you use on the stock to keep it tip top?
  16. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that to do cbt,etc the ankle must be covered
  17. The turn signals and headlight blinking together is a faulty earth connection, as, if I remember correctly, they use the same earth point.
  18. Hi KOG, welcome to the forum. For spares I would try David Silvers. A lot of parts for the twins are no longer available, especially things like airbox to carb rubbers. On my twin I had to improvise, using water heater hose meant for a car. Pistons and valves are still around as are valve guides, seals etc. If needing a new barrel avoid the cheap Chinese made copies. They are a generic type and don't have all the necessary holes in the right places. In your pic it actually looks a decent bike, so enjoy it
  19. If I used pay at pump I didn't remove my helmet, but if paying inside I would take it off. Also, if topping tank to brim for a long trip I would put bike on the centre stand, especially the 600, as that was an awkward tank to fill without splash-back
  20. Been watching the news, and it's mostly been Donald Trump. That guy is so shallow, if he was a puddle you couldn't drown in it
  21. I buy all my spare visors from them, and have never had a problem with them, same goes for pinlock stuff
  22. Try these https://www.thevisorshop.com/Mobile/MobileSearchResults.aspx?Search=Arai+iridium+visor+
  23. I've got to stop reading these posts, I'm really missing my bikes now
  24. Congratulations to you both, @Fozzie
