This is because it's dialectal, an adjective. much like the intransive verb:  FAFF is. and obviously as bikers we all use that word frequently. especially when on tour and you are ready to ride off and someone (who will remain nameless) decides this is the perfect time to take his seat off and do a bit of random tweaking.

 

Nithering is a northern English and Scottish Dialectal adjective and means "to shiver"

 

now excuse me as its time I had a panad. back with the rampaging schizophrenics tonight and I need all the help I can get from turning yampy.

E5 always. Must be better because it's more money

My new bike actually says to use E10 but you can use E5. I'll run it in on E10 then try it on E5. As I'm limited to 4500 rpm for the first 950 miles I won't be thrashing it too much.

Yes but you are in the affluent South East where it is known everyone is filthy rich unlike us poor peasants elsewhere.

My answer E10 unless I know the tanks not going to be emptied for a whilst or the fuels been in the bike for a whilst.  Then they will get E5 as I work on same principle for my outboard.
At a rough guess I would say more than a month or I consider a whilst.
