  1. So restrictions have been lifted in Britain......and people can now return to their normal way of life? Large crowds were seen brawling and drinking in a city park on the day restrictions eased.

  3. Is there any Sad Old Greaser rides coming up? I think that might be a better fit for me!
  4. Spain is on the verge of passing from medium to high Covid risk level! WTF.....we've hardly got any mobility, so how's it going back up? Source!
  5. Probably partaking of some Projectile Vomiting.......
  6. Submissions close later tonight......so get your pic in asap!
  7. They've always been like that.....and the later F700/800 series is the same.
  8. No photos @Tym........I think we got another @Buckster in our midst!
  9. Make sure the PC is up to date with all the latest patches and updates from Microsoft. Ensure the latest device drivers are installed. Download CCleaner (it's free): https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/download Then run a disk cleanup and registry repair. Then defragment drive and restart. At that point your system should be in a better state.....then you can look at the problem with the power management setup. You'll probably need to reinstall the MS package though.
  10. @Grasshopper's Ride @MooN @Skippy @boboneleg @Sir Fallsalot @Pedro @Mawsley @alfalfa......and anybody else!
  11. Is this the poor bastard you all left on the ground Rick?
  12. Can't find @Pedro to get this started.....so I'll have to get it going! You know the rules.....it must be your bike and it must have been taken this month! Boats, planes, trains, wheelchairs, invalid carriages, skateboards, bicycles, unicycles etc are not valid.....it must be a motorised two wheeler! So let's have your entries!
  13. Went to lube the chain and found it needed adjustment. I haven't had to do it before on this bike (I've done 2400kms/1500 miles)......so I crossed my fingers that the right spanners were still in the toolkit. Yes.....this means me using tools! But first I had to take the seat off to access the tools.....however, you can't access the seat release under the locked back panel without removing the box first. So I consulted my Shad Box removal vid on YouTube once again cos I couldn't remember how to do it. Once I'd got to grips with that I was able to get the seat off! Luckily the spanners were in the toolkit......and after a lot of effort I loosened the axle nut. They also supply a sort of Allen Key tool to do the adjustment, and a half turn each side did the trick. Yes.....I did check it at the tightest spots......chain adjustment is one of the very few things I can manage. Just! Then it was tighten it all up again and give it a good lubing. Unfortunately I found that the spanner had got jammed into the plug socket tool cos I used it for leverage. So I soaked it with WD40 and after a bit of twisting out it came. Then it was time to put everything back together......and the chain now looks like this! Ready to go again! Now recovering from the ordeal of using tools!
  14. No.....I was married at 21.....1978 was more like End of Days!
  15. No.....married to first wife!
  16. Must be at least 35 years ago since I went swimming last. I can swim......but I don't particularly enjoy it. Same with walking!
  17. Why throw it in the canal......didn't they have dustbins?
