Who did you have to shag to get that Yen asking for a friend

I got loads of tools Bob. I still own a socket set that i bought in Halfords when i was 16, its not in its case anymore and i broke the ratchet trying to undo a car wheel nut with a 4ft scaffolding pole as an extension many years ago, and funny enough i broke the 19mm socket from the set doing exactly the same thing just before Christmas

Doesn't matter how competent anyone is really Pete there's always that one time it all goes tits up when your on your own but its a risk i'm willing to take As for stairs Yup this is me on stairs

Sounds delicious

Its only the trail riding side of it they say that @XTreme
-
That's right Bruce that's why I've ignored people who tell me not to ride on my own most of my life as you can end it in such simple ways you may as well be having fun when it happens
-
No not really Pete i put it up years ago for two reasons first started thinking about it when we had two gargoyles pinched off the windowsills, They were some tat the wife liked and i was constantly threating to throw them in the bin i think she still believes i did that and they weren't stolen The second reason makes me feel sick just to type it, when i was digging out the back garden i put a temporary washing line in the front garden and some sicko took my daughter knickers off there nothing else, i'd like to think it was just some lads fucking about and didn't know they who's they were, she was about 9 at the time

In case you don't know Ice is slippery as i found out this morning

My wife has had it as well as my parents

I was hoping they would have the six month extension this time round so i could fix anything in good weather. I replaced two brake light bulbs last weekend only thing i could find wrong. I haven't been underneath this car though so see what happens tomorrow

The storm here ended two days ago they had it bad in skewen and up north. As i said the plant i'm working on deals with storm water and has been running flat out at the start of this week and at 75% capacity for the last two days when we've had no rain there's been a lot dumped on us this week https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-55767054

What do you mean by self cover @Pedro
-
Yes tried it and and various versions of it. works great on tubeless wheels but didn't work on the tubed type, when i removed the tyre i had to deal with the mess it makes as well as the flat so will never use it again
-
That's just it if your enjoying the bike and the problems are minor then why not carry on enjoying it ?

Hopefully she will fancy some sushi after that

Everything is reliable when you know how to turn a spanner

Only if you ride it on the road, it's still covered for fire and theft when parked up but you cannot ride it on the road until you have a new MOT and tax but you are covered to ride it to the MOT station after booking an appointment

That's because they wont get there under their own steam

@Grasshopper's Ride It does sound like you got a bit of a lemon it doesn't help you don't have a dealer on your doorstep. you get it with all makes of bike though. My mate bought a new Africa Twin about 6 months after i bought mine he had an endless list of faults with it and half the mileage of mine, within a year he had corrosion on the engine, frame, ABS rings, wheels and various fasteners all over the bike, The switches both sides of the handlebars failed, water inside the dash and i'm sure there was a lot more but he got lucky a tractor with trailer reversed into it and wrote it off, mine has been great only had to change the left side handlebar switch under warranty if i'd owned his it might have put me off Honda's forever.

It just sounds like you bought a royal Enfield the bike has a lot of soul you don't get that with a Honda that's why people call them soulless
-
What i'm asking is what has had to be replaced prematurely apart from the top yolk that was just unfortunate but i would have drilled that snapped bolt out.
-
Yes that was a bit odd but that being said i don't think I've ever owned a bike that had lock tight on those pinch bolts and i don't use it there myself
