Can't catch a brake

[David]

I can't remember how it came up, but I discovered the other day that one of the grads at work had never seen a keep fit window winder

my Daughters boyfriend inherited his GrandDads MG BGT. He had trouble starting it and kept flattening the battery. He had someone look at it and sort it out. I said what was wrong with it. He said there's a button on the dash which isn't a button, it pulls out to richen the fuel when its cold, its called a choke! If you've only ever known Fi cars...

A kid at work didn't know the phrase this time next year we'll be millyonaires. When we said y'know from only fools and horses he replied, never seen it but I think my Dad used to watch it!

I've only seen one or two episodes of Only Fools and Horses. I did however watch most of Carla Lane's Bread which is probably just as bad.

I never saw it, but I did rebuild the interior of Joey's (?) Jag.

got a hire bike coming tomorrow, they are taking the MT away to access and replace the damaged bits,
4th dimension use Honda's, hoping its the new fireblade.......and it better have heated grips

You know you're getting a CB500.

Well it arrived at 6am this morning, sadly it’s not a fire blade, it’s not a CB500 either. It’s a 2019 NC750.not the DCT version though.

It’s got storage where the petrol tank is meant to be

Make sure his insurance is paying for the bike hire. There have been lots of expensive arguments over this.

[formula400]

They are paying, and even if I don t win, It will cost me nothing, had this 10 years ago, I had a hire bike for about a year. Long story. But I won that as well.

So I've had a couple of days on the NC750x, its a 2019 with 3000 miles on it, I quite like it, but I would not buy one for what I would use it for, rides well, seems quicker than the MT, brakes don't seem as good, and its not the slimmest bike for commuting. but once on an open road it goes well and I can see long trips being fun on it.

I put the muff on it today as did bother for the first few days, not having the heated grips and muff was not ideal.

I had one as a loaner - ended up buying one - surprised it’s quicker than your MT.

Might not be quicker, just feels quicker. In a straight line that is.
