Folks, stop the political stuff including the unfolding situation in Iran, while I think we can all agree that the Ayatollah is no loss to the world this isn’t the time to be laughing at a situation that is costing many other lives and can only be approached through the lens of politics.

If your wife complains when you buy something, just tell her to calm down and remember she is just a woman, then life will be far easier. You don’t need to thank me for the marital advice.

Haven't had one of these for a while. I will be going to The Scottish Motorcycle Show on Saturday. What are you losers doing?

Temu?

Billy Bob will be disappointed.

You are supposed to defrost them and cook them first.

Well that's the best place to do it.

I’m driven to it because I have to deal with you, the spawn of Satan, on a daily basis.

It has stopped raining here, nice gale force winds instead.

Nice old Harley there.

Nope, I will stick with my Scottish motorcycle.

Next time.

I hope you got the money before you blocked him like any proper scammer would.

I think @Saul did an excellent job of bike of the month.

Finally tracked down the vacuum leak on the turbo in the car, the vacuum pipes were like a plate of spaghetti, I have now rerouted them all so I can more easily work on them in the future, what the hell Mercedes were thinking when they built it is anyones guess. Anyway, I replaced a couple of hoses as they were old but nothing was leaking, turns out it was the MAP sensor on the manifold, I am guessing the membrane is perforated in the sensing module as the fault seemed to be more likely to happen on wet days, I had previously thought it might be electrical but I checked, cleaned and waterproofed every possible connection. Seems it was being affected by barometric pressure. It must have been feathering the waste gate actuator as well as now it has a lot more boost and I can hear the turbo spool up sooner. Luckily I had a used MAP sensor in my spares drawer.

Well done @Skippy, I suppose I have to put that Chinese shite on the front page now. Personally I think our resident cyborg @YamaHead was robbed.

Anything will be better than the shed on the front page now.

What about your last track day?

Bitumen sprayers are classed as plant. I didn't realise you had packed in proper driving, probably a wise choice given your track record though.
