  1. I reckon that's @Specs
  2. He looks better with the beard, it hides his ugly mug
  3. No timescale but i'll keep you in touch.
  4. No , they are new to us. If you're not in a hurry I could let you know what we think once they come back ?
  5. I'll try and find the photos but I had another DR650 for a while and was horrified when I went to check the air filter. The foam element had disintergrated and the cage that it sits on had melted . The backfire screen was not present and I can only assume that was the cause. edit: found them. This is the filter cage .............. and this shit in the carb is the remainder of the disintegrated filter ..........
  6. For some reason I was expecting to see @yen_powell appear in this video. Don't know why
  7. It can be done just with a lot of fiddling to get the screen in from the airbox hose but as on this occasion it doesn't last, I suspect the previous owner had done just that. To do it properly you need to remove the airbox hose, battery, battery tray, petrol tank, seat , side panels , rear inner mudguard and the electrics so that you can free the airbox enough to do the job properly. I've never worked on a Himalayan , what's involved in removing the battery ?
  8. Did they mention a bloke with viking genes had bummed them a couple of days ago
  9. That looks like a nine year old designed it, what an ugly bike. This is such a shame as the previous Sportsters have always had a certain appeal to them, simple design but good looking. I predict that the real Sportsters will go up in price now and no one will buy that ugly pos.
  10. @Catteeclan , I just sent a pair of Ducati Paso fork tubes off to a place for rechroming. This is the place.................. https://fork-rechroming.co.uk/
  11. Is your bike very heavy to push back out of that bay with the trailer attached ?
  12. So this morning I continued going through the bike to correct anything that had happened on my recent trip. All was going well until I took the air filter out and then saw that the 'backfire screen ' was cockeyed . Having had to replace one of these in the past on another DR650 I knew what a ballache it would be to fit it back in. Sure enough an hour later the bike was in bits ............ It's back in now but I bloody hate that job. Anyway, it gave me the excuse to take all the electrical connectors apart and grease them while it was all apart.
  13. Wow, I'd definitely be up for that. He has some of the most cool cars ever in his collection.
  14. He forgot his photo of you
  15. She's a ginger , I wonder who her father is ......................
  16. Ah, hah !! I see the influence now ...............
  17. The only problem with our house are the w*ankers who live on the other side of the lane , as you can see from the photo above they do nothing to help maintain the lane or the back of their houses
  18. and a Guinness ..................
  19. I shall be having a garage day tomorrow. Miss America has been washed but now she needs some small jobs doing .
  20. Wow, property is cheap up there.
  21. I've given up looking for now, we might just get a double floor extention built on our house instead.
  22. RIP Tony Bennett, one of the best Jazz singers ever.
