I guess that it must have a T160 Trident motor in it, with the cylinders tilted forwards slightly, same as the BSA Rocket 3 motor. Nice!

Most of my lids over the years have had Double-D ring fastening chin strap, but my newest lid has a Micro buckle. I don't know, but I'm not liking this buckle. I find that it digs into my neck and Adam's apple, making it pretty sore after a couple of hours riding. I never had that with any of the Double-D ring straps on previous lids. But, it seems that finding new lids with a Double-D ring fastening is getting pretty difficult! How do you guys get on with the fastening on your lids?

My weekend! Carbs choked up on Mandy's Bonneville due to lack of use!

I've had electronic handbrakes on my cars for the last 20 years, never any issue with them! Hill starts are a doddle! I've had Stop/start on my cars for probably 15 years too. No issues with that either. The car I use mostly now is an Audi Q2 1.6 Tdi. Mandy got it as her company car when it was about 3 months old, ex-demo. It's a 2017 model and has 140000km on it now, although it does fewer miles now, since she got her new car. This last year has been the most expensive, as it needed tyres and brakes all round and the battery died a couple of weeks ago! Other than that, it's just needed routine servicing. It's a damned sight more comfortable than the Toyota Yaris Cross that she's got now!

Good advice!

Interesting?

Russ Ballard is a great songwriter.

Not really related to the subject, but a good illustration on how quickly things were developing at that period of time!

Depends on the healthcare service there. If it's non malignant, then it could be that he has Green Light Laser surgery, to remove some of the excess prostate material. There are other treatments too, so he may be offered them instead. My urologist here was dead against just leaving it and trying to treat it with drugs, as he said that it could eventually damage the bladder muscles. It could also lead to kidney damage and other infections. My surgery was one year ago now and I wish that I'd had the opportunity to have it done sooner!

I'm not a doctor, but I had the same thing and my doctors and specialists in the UK were quite happy for me to keep getting up to pee several times a night and keep taking a mixture of drugs, which helped, but not completely. On seeing my first doctor here, he immediately referred me to a Urologist. The urologist sent me for an MRI and a couple of ultrasound scans and monitored my PSA over a year or so, then suggested that I should have the laser surgery to remove some of the prostate material. His warning was that trying to pee past the restriction caused by the enlarged prostate was likely to cause damage to the bladder muscles, which was likely to result in urinary incontinence eventually. So, leaving the swollen prostate was more likely to result in incontinence than removing some of the excess prostate material. But, operations cost money...............!

When I was working in electronic design and development at my first company, circa 1984, someone donated an old DEC PDP 11 computer to us to play with. It was the size of a small wardrobe, with the magnetic reel-to-reel tape reader. It had a pcb which had 1kB of ferrite core memory, which was about 12" square! It was a fairly early one, from about 1974!

Yeah, he really should have got seen to a bit sooner. They should test his PSA!

It's due to be displayed from 2026 to 2028, so you'll have to keep your outrage in check for another 2 years? Personally, the chances of me visiting Trafalgar Square during that period will be pretty remote, so I won't be losing any sleep over it!

You're over there on your bike then?

I can't watch that pair! They did a video where they were moaning about the cost of riding in Europe, then it transpires that they went all the way to Rome and back on motorways. He got a puncture on his Africa Twin, but wasn't carrying any spare tubes or tools! So, his bike had to be recovered and an Italian mechanic managed to muster up in inner tube that just about fitted! At least, that's how I remember it!
