I've got a shed full of bikes needing MOTs and a dominator with the starter not working. The TDM which does have an MOT is just a total ball ache to get out the front due to the amount of junk in front and in the passage to get past. O and the rabbits. And its bloody raining.

If she's not interested I'm up for it.

Air filter at 3500, must be the size of a thimble. If it doesn't hold a lot of oil maybe the reason for the change interval. Oil changes are governed by how much crap gets in there, clutch material and what gets passed the rings and how the oil viscosity breaks down over time by the engine beating the crap out of it. My Honda dominator holds about 2ltrs and changes are 2000 miles if I remember right. Mandis CBF holds around 4ltrs and changes at 4500. I guess both of these are more down to said clutch material as jap machining is bloody good. The biggest prob with valves is more down the the seats getting beaten into the head closing the gaps which will burn them out so must be inspected regularly.

Have a great night Fred, Happy birthday.

Happy birthday to the misses.

Someones going to knock the misses around or have a good hangover, or both.

Yes , YES. Although that sausage.

Spooky, my thought exactly. Good selection too.

Saul, have you really got that much time to spend online. I won't argue its not interesting mind.

Think I know that road well. One of my routes through Derbyshire to get to Royton, Manchester. A617?

Very nice.

Lots of paint touching up to do but he's happy.

If you hurled on that floor you'd be clever to see it.

Brilliant, loads of character in there. Hope some is kept and keep the updates coming.

Agree, kid seems to have money to burn. He's also having a new kitchen.

Valentine dinner for 2.

That radiator.

Wasting money, giving Dad a hard time and it's supposed to be noise cancelling. As well as creating a feature instead of the same boring painted walls.

Been round the sons sorting a bedroom/games room. I might add he's 33 in March. Kitchen worktop fitting along with some led type cornice and some Natural wall panels. To fit this in this tight spot here I made a template out of some old skirting. Shit the price of this stuff has gone mental so didn't dare mess it up. In it's slot nice and tight. The "natural wall" is a right pain in the arse as the bars of wood are fitted to the back panel which is a thick felt with staples, so you have to miss them by taking some off the top or bottom and then re-stapling in places to keep them all together. You can guess I'm really going to enjoy the next panel as it's going on the wall with the plug point. This is the opposite wall we did at the weekend.

We have what look like the same in ours, plenty of people doing spares. Think we got ours off eBay. Do all the plastic bits, they turn to powder.

Parts readily available?

Didn't need the comment to get a laugh.

Misplaced was one of Mandis to. I've just been playing a mix of Porcupine tree on Spotify.

Couldn't get into Marillion. Mandi used to wear needles out on their albums and done my head in.

Fingers are crossed.
