the 1/2 track sounds really cool 

Moved far? I'm hoping to go south coast when the kids have all left. Question is; do I tell them where we've moved to? 🤔

Not moved far ... Literally up the road. But now have a house with a garage, and some extra workshop space. Makes my old little shed look tiny!

What usually happens is I hold on to the radio for a few years waiting for them to show up, finally decide I'll never find them and either bin the radio or sell it for spares. Then they'll show up a few days later after they no longer have a use 😆

I know.....that's what I expect to happen here!

Prime example of Sods law mate 

I'm perpetually not buying a BL one!

LOL ... I can't decide whether to convert my spare one or sell it

But shortage of funds says no conversion

I work in IT and turn off fast boot - fixes 90% of windows 10 issues I get called to. your computer will take a bit longer to boot.

* note after the big updates you will have to redo this.

thanks for that rushboy will give it a try as I have mine asus mobo on fast boot atm and am trying to play that new SCUM game with no sound haha

I stuck with Win7 for ages - bought and built more machines than I kept track of.  Resisted the Win10 upgrade till the last min (for the free 'upgrade') and bar my recent issue with homegroup being removed, touch wood, i've had no real problems at all - in fact the only other niggle I recall was onedrive and win10 not playing ball in the early days of win10 - and MS we're quick to get that sorted obv.

Will bear in mind the fast start up thing though.  ta

Easy bro it's mick I'm sorry I've not been on for a while mate but I got ill and then thought that I was getting better and then wham!!! It goes n slaps me right in the face again!!! N it's only today that I'm starting to feel a bit better, n I hope that I've not just jinxed myself by saying that!!! Coz I said it the other week and then the next day I'm laid up back in bed again mate!!! So my fingers n toes are crossed!!

About the guy off eBay, total messer Nitro and that's one of the main reasons that I don't like to use eBay pal!! Only when I've got no other choice really is about the only time I will use it bruv!! How's your hand etc now?? 

Good to hear you're feeling better I'm fighting fit with nothing worse than a new scar for the collection. Finished the job that did the damage and am now busily engaged stripping the bike engine down to it's basic components. Selling stuff on E-Bay to cover the £70 for a gasket set....or I wouldn't be using it either.

Cheers mate and its good to hear that you're fighting fit aswell bruva!! I ccame across your bike pictures on another thread earlier and there's nothing better than the old bikes:) for me that is

Devils advocate but having friends who run garages...

Most of them won't fit secondhand parts unless supplied by customer. Just not worth the grief if it turns out bad or packs up after a couple of months. And rebuild kits are cheap as a DIY option but often don't save anything for the customer once you add in the hourly labour rate at a garage.

But mostly this is the fitters vs fixers debate, sadly fixers are a dying breed  

Wouldn't mind if they actually gave you options. The car was driving fine 99% of the time, and only hiccupped occasionally under load.

Swapping a coil pack is not exactly ...hard. 2 bolts and one connector.....

I'm a fixer. Always have been.

Sadly most are now trained as fitters, find borked part, replace it, signoff job sheet and done.

They should make them all run RCs, teaches fixing

I'll prob go for one of these next. Normal plumber fit job.

They don't need the top removed to clean them, great idea, isolate, remove magnet, flush from the pressure of the system using the drain off, job done, now I hate magnacleans & there bloody leaking o rings!!

Powerflush & a mag filter is being pushed my the manufacturers, if it's not done they try to weasel out of a warranty claim it's on the benchmark (filled out on job completion) so it's a must really. There is even a section in the new vaillant manual where they ask you to test the water after a powerflush to check if it's clean enough!

again, another get out clause imo.

Does anyone think chemical castration is too severe an approach for some?  

The problem is breaking the cycle... layabout kids of layabout kids of layabout kids......  

Only one step further down the line from bromide in beans....

Having children is a privilege, not a right. 

People are waking up to the idea of abused pets take the place of children. The rspca had dealt with too many people who went on to shake their baby. But I think law is looking into it now. offenders list or something.  

You wouldn't sell them off? They're cumbersome to move around, but you know they're awesome once they're on the fly! 

 was thinking about gettign a 5th but thats the reason why i got rid of my savage xl

My ex had 2 corn snakes and the female one would  chase me round the room if it was allowed out xD

Get well soon buddy. Motion sickness is so horrid. Used to get it while working on the ships, it's like the worst hangover x1000. The Madforce will wait for you!

lolol!!I spent around 45 mins trying to start me revo the other wk to get it ready to sell....only to find the tank seal had perished so wasn't sealing properly....new seal...fired up in 5 mins!!..D`HO!!

And he floats like a duck...

lol

Ah! so he doesn't have a vat, then; its a cauldron! Could Chewy be his familiar?

Nice! - I'll have to look into that then, been looking at some for mine (vfr800 Vtec) and are coming out over

For decent budget systems try:

Blue Flame

Beowulf

Delkevic

Hawk ( Pipewrx budget systems)

SP Engineering ( Demon )

I looked at all those, and they have systems starting around

Thanks

It was excellent. I love Colin Edwards: "The Doctor. The Surgeon. Magician. Whatever you want to call him."

Aw man I miss my bikes so much.

Side stand so much easier too use over centre stand!

Pipes an essential must if needs be get pipe that offers removable baffle

Or, swap it for a Honda 90...nice, steady ride, fairings to protect the legs, nice and light.... ;p

nice I used to have the 600 12 years ago (god i feel old thinking like that) and it always lacked that bit of umph. Always fancied the 900 ... does it have some nice pipes?

I'll be on two wheels by the end of the year :-)

It's still got stock pipes...but I fancy a set of Scorpion cans when funds allow.

Im a good person but there are alot of scammers and opertunists out there who will mess you over given the chance. I ha a guy that bought a car from me, he then proceeded to destroy the clutch on the quarter mile and tried to get me to pay for a new one!

I sold an Audi A4 to a guy who was clearly an idiot, limping in, telling me he'd fallen off his bike at 100mph on a corner.. Next day he calls me, I've blown your Audi up, give me my money back. Yea right.bcock even took me to court (& lost!) probably drove it home in 1st gear!

Don;t think this guy has trashed it ...just think it's bad luck. Could have happened to me just as easily

have a look at medieval engineers, same people but castle building

has structural physics too so not enough support will see your building colapse under its own weither

Indeed. RIP

+1 RIP

+1 RIP

Should have followed my lead and stayed in bed!

I love the smell of nitro in the morning

Ah, but do the family feel the same??

Hooray for legal cover, protected no claims, and the joys of official paperwork. Third party works for Currys.....which I think says it all

How's the bike?

Still rideable. Luckily I broke it's fall ......

I compromised ... I have taped a strongly worded letter to the pitchfork handle.... all bases covered

Ah, but a strongly worded letter on its own might bring you some "freebies". Profit over principle!

Might be a touch tricky to produce the evidence .....

Wonder if I can get closed-cell foams in 170/17 size... Baja never gets punctures

It might be worth putting the tyre into a bucket of water to see if there are any bubbles - If there are bubbles it's loosing pressure if not then it's perfect

I don't think it's worth risking mate. A harsh bump on that spot and pop maybe. Mayb a stone.
