Took the suspension linkage and drop links off the bike to clean them up and give them a regrease - the drop links were the worst and were pretty dry with quite a bit of scoring to the faces of the needle bearing innners. Gave them a gentle whizz to remove the worst ridges and repacked. Should get ...

Road 6's, have them on my GS and on the front of the K12R. More grip than I'll ever need.

That makes Jo Brand look like Claudia Schiffer.

I can get my feet on the ground safely on my GasGas.
Maybe helped by my 14 stones of Yorkshire goodness

And the pies.

Don't forget the pies

Cfmoto 450mt getting rave reviews

I deliver into a place that sells the CF Moto quads. The farmers are buying them as fast as they can get them because they're cheaper than Hondas and are just as good.

He has a point though!

I can only think Paul was being benevolent or is really shit to have not knocked Tyson out. :thumbdown: He couldn't knock out Tommy Fury who is everything wrong with British boxing in one fake tanned parcel. It's shit like this that give the detractors of boxing the ammo they need, you have real, p...

I drove a 70's one, it was awful. Like a ropey old Capri but heavier.

Influencers.

They're literally just saying whatever someone is paying them to say. Every time I read that some new takeaway is a "game changer" I want to beat someone to death.

Even worse is that people actually listen to them.

I had a Google yesterday and got mixed answers on this, is this a thing then? Yup, a lot of bike manufacturers don't ship enough units to make bespoke parts economical to produce, theres plenty of car stuff about that will do exactly the same job with no R&D costs, the ABS pump guts on the K12R...

Take the O2 sensor down to a good motor factors, Soapy tenner says it's a cheap generic one.

I liked Secret bars, probably because I had a huge crush on the woman in the advert. Pyramint was lovely, they were about 35p in 1988. I was going to say Secret bars too. They were lush. I seem to recall that they were so expensive to manufacture they were effectively loss-making, hence they stoppe...

Don't worry, there's not a great deal of power for it to cope with.

It's a bloody farce, Tyson was finished back after the first Holyfield fight and even Danny Williams, who was domestic level at best beat him, he's an old man although he's probably as strong as a bull who is relying on muscle memory. Jake Paul looks like he's juiced to the eyeballs, and although he...

Just sayin'

Aye, bloke coming INTO work at a nuke plant set off the detectors apparently.

Our consistently useless public transport company sold myself, and a few hundred other poor sods tickets for a train that stopped at Antrim due to signalling problems. Not one notice board in the big 340 million quid station to say that there was a problem. Cue everyone getting turfed off, myself wi...
