Just to be clear, all carpark owners are protected by Statute, the doctorine is "Damage, Distress, Phesante" (probably spelt wrong) if your neighbours sheep strays onto your land and starts to eat your grass you can keep hold of that sheep until the sheeps owner has paid you for the grass, the...

I spent a couple of years as a wheel clamper (over 25 years ago when that particular profession earned a lot of money) at the time it was all bullshit, "If you don't pay we will tow your car" etc, but I never did (most people paid, anyone that didn't had the clamp removed for free when I wanted...

So the Mrs has decided to go on a girly week to some foreign place, Flying out on Wed 3rd July 2019. I will take the same week off work (week? Wed to Tue, bit weird) I had planned on a bike trip to Italy to visit my parents, stop off at the Nürburgring, take in a few Mountain passes along the...

Seriously..... You are fretting about your work bench???? The mind boggles.. Stick a kettle next to the beer fridge, roll out a couple of mattresses and sleeping bags, That's a bunk house.... you can rent a workshop with the income and have money left over. (I'm still staring at the pic with...

Nice, Welcome to the dark side :-) As a new member myself (To the dark side) I have no advice to offer except Enjoy :-) I'm still learning how to handle the weight of the GS :-) Axe

I bought a helmet from them many years ago, way back when built in speakers and Bluetooth were cutting edge. They were in a unit in Preston, I bought through ebay but collected and was surprised that they actually had a small showroom. I've seen some ebay listings of theirs recently now that I'm...

Nice :-) I had those KTM boxes on my last VStrom, They have built in wine holders :-) Axe

Yep, there weren't many 'Lakes' there due to the hot spell we have just had, but we took the dogs a couple of days later and they were both a very copper colour when we left (just from running around through the vegetation/rocks) I go there a couple of times a year, but generally only stay in...

Been for a little ride round North Wales today. Copper mountain on Anglesey, then down to electric mountain and a little bimble round the mountains. :-) :-)

Yay, picked it up today just after 2pm. No new mot though :-( to be fair they did give me the option of them. Mot ING it or me doing it myself. If they did it it would delay collection by a couple of hours, if I did it they would refund the cost and cover any work required (but after their 68...

'Here comes Honey Boo Boo' that was the name of the program (It's been driving me mad for days trying to remember) the family were pretty poor but they kept entering the kid (Honey Boo Boo) into beauty pageants (like Americas do) I have no idea how that turned out for them, but the DeLorean...

Nothing very promising :-( I didn't cancel the order as I would then have been without a bike for my 2 weeks summer holiday. (but there is a chance I wont have it for then anyway) As it stands The fuel pipe arrived and was fitted, they have now decided that the brake light switch on the bars...

So the latest news is that the fuel pipe has now arrived (3 weeks after I paid a deposit) The sales guy said they would try and get it in the workshop as soon as possible and as it might take a few hours to fit, then MOT it 'might' be ready in a couple of days and he would let me know. Bit...

Yeah, that was Wheeler Dealers with Ed China (The mechanic) and Mike Brewer (the sales guy) Don't think I've ever seem them turn a real profit (they don't take labour costs into account) They had a DeLorean and sold it at a club meet. Renault V6 engine, loads of problems and manufacturer...
