    When i was growing up there was no music in the house other than the classical music my father listened to or the odd chance of listening to top of the pops when the parents weren't around which wasn't very often. i started working with South Wales Electricity Board at the age of 16 and in their training center there was a record player, first day there one of the lads put this on, it blew my mind never heard anything like it before and shaped my taste in music from then on. still gives me goosebumps now

    To give you an idea of how much walking i do, i have a pair of caterpillar boots advertised as walking machines when i bought them which must be getting close to 30 years ago and their still in excellent condition LOL

    Those size cans of WD40 were £3 a tin in Tesco's when you use the Clubcard Bob. I think i said before i just buy a gallon of WD40 and use a hand pump spray

    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

    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

    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
  17. Sir Fallsalot

    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

    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
  22. Sir Fallsalot
