  1. Well my effort was wasted, i mentioned it to a mate last night and he said i got to get myself one of these I didn't even know they made such an animal so i ordered one, should be here by the weekend Wasted my time last night and i cut up a perfectly good spanner
  2. No i'm not i have plenty of worn out tyres to fit already
  3. I'm a tight git i would stick that on the 650 in the summer and run it until the rubber between the blocks touched the road The rear on the Beta has lost three quarters of its tread but it still gives good grip want to change it but the tight git in me is holding off. Thinking of whipping it off tomorrow night to have a look at the mousse if it's still good i think i'll have to go down a tyre size as it looks like i'm running 2 psi in there
  4. Boring post for the non mechanical members here but tonight's project was a result of drowning the bike last weekend, i found the factory spark plug spanner wouldn't work with the bigger tank fitted as the ring is a six point and there's not enough space for the spanner to work, i needed a 12 point for it to work so i bought a cheep spanner to modify and it arrived today First job was to shorten it as its too long to fit in my tool bag so off with its head Then i need to straighten it, the crank at the end made it an awkward fit i used a cheapo induction heater i bought years ago to get it red hot to bend really useful tool now straightened its easier to use in the space Ready to weld the open end back on wasn't going to bother but it might come in handy one day Welding done All ground back and cleaned up, works a treat hopefully i'll never need it again LOL
  5. Looks really wide in the photos. will you keep the old tyre for the summer
  6. Only a van offers the protection your talking about
  7. Why does that look like a rear tyre to me
  8. That's why i'm so glad my pair have never been interested in the bikes just one less thing to worry about
  9. My kids have never been into video games and there weren't any affordable ones when i was a kid just arcade machines, which i used to make the wiring harnesses for i think i was around 18 at the time. they used to have a game called the golden axe in the canteen which i was addicted to playing and used to stay on an hour after work playing it while i waited for the rush hour traffic to go
  10. I'm doomed i used to play the same games as @zzzak and @XTreme LOL
  11. Sounds like he's Probably a clown and moron looks like your finding a new class of moron instead of the canal boat moron LOL and Telephone i bet you call a radio a wireless
  12. I used the words fucking hell a lot on it LOL, i got up ok with a lot of paddling but was left to help everyone else up there, only one other stopped to help, so the pair of us were knackered when we got to the top and was greeted by the words off we go then, while most had had a good rest we were straight on it, i did use the word Bastard then
  13. The infamous Allt y Badi was used in the 1937 ISDT it looked a lot easier back then
  14. The photos above were taken on the phones default settings as there was not a lot to work with on a day like Friday Pedro and there wasn't enough time to play about with the phone's settings on this ride like i can when i'm on my own. This is one photo i took with the phone on a different setting or the photoshop setting as Pete calls it LOL
  15. it was bloody warm wet and windy on Friday 15 deg C all day and Saturday was the same temperature but dry and sunny with a cold wind
  16. Some Random photos from last weekends ride just not got time to write any words about it or the energy to photoshop them good LOL Some tough lanes and a tiring but memorable weekend Bob couldn't make it but his leg made an appearance LOL Dewatering the bike (note to self go around unknown puddles) Allt y badi Llangollen glad we were going down this one The wayfarer
  17. looks like its supposed to be there
  18. I don't have any friends That i didn't meet through bikes, the people i work with are just people i work with and don't socialise with them outside of work. I've also met a lot of arseholes with bikes more in my later years than early years for some reason , or is it that i have become less tolerant as i got older.
  19. I just suggested it because i was surprised how much a tyre can expand with centrifugal force at higher speeds
  20. Yes mine doesn't feel slow at all and feels very rapid especially after riding the smaller bikes that is until your riding with someone on a KTM 1290 LOL
