Slowlycatchymonkey Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 My day today has mainly been reconciling with my youngest brother. I think we are heading for good news on that front  A bit of complete honesty is always a good balm.. or the start of the next fight I expected it to happen if he ever had any children. I just didn’t expect it to be within days of her birth.  I’m quite excited I might get my lil bro back. And bonus his wife and new baby along with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when she met him she said "Hello Gandalf, nice to meet you"....brother in law pissed himself laughing.  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 Went to feed the horses today as they haven't seen us for four days so they get stressed! They were all fine as our friends Antonio and Sonia were feeding them for us. Then went to collect the tortoises from our friends Steve and Julie......and they're back home now. The first thing I did when I got here yesterday evening was check the bike in case any of those fucking midgets had limbo danced under the doors.....but it was as I left it. No hope of getting out today as it's going to be 40c! But as it is I'd be struggling after the exertions of the last four days anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yen_powell Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Just put a new front tyre on, rear will hopefully go on later when I have cooled down a bit. I tried putting zip ties on it to help with the change and for removing the tyre it worked a treat. I broke the bead both sides and then fed about 4 or 5 zip ties through between the bead and the wheel rim and tightened them up over about half the tyre before I got bored. Even just that much allowed me to just push the tyre off the rim without using any levers at all. So a totally lever less removal at least. Thought I'd try zip tying up the new tyre before putting it on the rim, but to be honest it seemed to make it impossible to even get started. In the end I chopped the zip ties, relubed it and pushed it on by hand, then used levers to finish it off. Going to try the zip ties on the rear later for removal as that is the bit I struggle with, getting the old tyre totally off the rim with only one pair of hands.

Sir Fallsalot Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Finished the LED light install today. I decided to make some brackets to mount the lights off the crash bar brackets as it was a bit busy on the handlebars, plus the light was reflecting back off the headlight cowl a bit so needed to go forward or fit a shroud for that area. i picked up some tube blanks which finished the job off nicely  test fit  And completed job see if the charging circuit is up to it 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yen_powell Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Rear tyre on. Zip ties didn't let me remove tyre from rim without levers, but it did go with just two levers and then it fell off suddenly, so definitely makes a difference. Turns out my zip ties were about 1/2 an inch too short so I had to join 2 together to get around tyre, so I will get some longer heavier duty ones for next time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worsening drought and water sold on the black market. A sad state of affairs. I hear Malaga has decided it can't refill the majority of it's pools and some regions have banned the filling of swimming pools using mains water and due to the electricity prices the law prohibits air-con below 26 degrees. It's going to be a miserable summer for some. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
