The meter is the responsibility of the utility provider, as is the connection between the intake head and the meter. The box/ housing is your responsibility as can be the back board. If the utility provider is telling you different they are a bunch of lying shysters.

Ordered thanks, you only need this stuff once in a blue moon but when you need it you need it … and it’s bloody annoying when you haven't got it.

I don’t have any left hand drill bits but that’s a good shout, I’ll get a set. Cheers.

Possibly the most inappropriately named tool ever. They never bloody work. Tried to extract a mangled screw this afternoon ( not on a bike), half an hr buggering about with the extractor in the end gave up and drilled it and wound it out with mole grips. Has anyone ever actually successfully extracted anything with an easy out, if so what brand did you use? Maybe mine are just shit.

It’s snowing! It’s really chucking it down! Prob a couple of inches so far, tho it feels quite wet so might turn to rain at some point. New doggie thinks it’s great, can’t bloody get him inside, racing around in it like he’s had a triple espresso and a dose of speed.

If I’d have known it would annoy people I’d have posted photos of it ages ago …

My poor 125 had gone through a string of owners and L plates. Someone had fitted shitty after market levers, the clutch basket was knackered and it juddered on letting the clutch out, the back caliper was draggy, it had been dropped at least once … but amazingly it still had the OEM can. I enjoyed it despite 12hp having to drag my 100kg about in slow motion…

I started out on a Honda 125, really liked it , as much as you can like 12 hp I pitched up at a dealership to test ride a CB1000 but got refused because I had too many points on my licence, buy Yamaha were happy to let me have a go on theirs so I ended up with a Yamaha

I think it’s basically an MT09 with extra bits on and a tricked up suspension. I really like my 09 but I did find myself idly flipping through autotrader bikes wondering what I could chop it in for. Probably more of a reaction to the blah blah blah of whatever inane garbage my MIL was watching on the idiot box than a real desire to change it tho.

…I’m on the edge of my seat … Actually in bed because I’m too old and can’t be arsed to stay up another 45 mins. I’ll get woken up in a couple of hrs anyway when my son staggers in and doesn’t turn the lights on as he tries not to wake us up and then falls over the dog toys scattered around everywhere.

Mother in law staying with us at the moment. She’s stepped on the puppy 3 bloody times so far. He’s laying in front of the fire minding his own business and she seems unable to get from one side of the room to the other without treading on the poor thing. Thankfully she’s back the US on Thursday. I should be more tolerant but it’s bloody hard at times.

Have a really not posted a picture before? I don’t take many pictures of my bikes so it wouldn’t surprised me. Must admit I didn’t expect to get any votes and I’ve not voted for myself. I love the way these bikes look but I get they can be a bit marmite with people either liking or hating them.

We have an invite to a mates party however I will be the dropper off and collector and will be home in between. We have a puppy and I don’t know how he will react to fireworks, and can’t leave him on his own at present. He has a bladder the size of a peanut and the way he chews stuff he’s like a waste disposal unit with legs.

There is a scrap place quite nearby but I need 22mm tube or the anti squirrel thing won’t fit. I thought the chances of them having a couple of meters of it might be slim but I will give them a buzz. If I can get a short bit the right size I can weld a bigger bit on each end if needed.
