Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Bought a set of Morgan Carb balancers a couple of weeks ago. Last weekend i balanced the Baby Fazers carbs. What a difference. You probably dont notice them being out as it happens gradually but for a 600cc bike it can shift. I am no great fan of popping wheelies but that week bike would make a great stunt bike
When i bought Daddy Fazer i phoned the bike shop and told them i am on my way down to buy it cash so dont sell the bloody thing today. They never had time to service or MOT it but il survive. Anyway carbs balanced today took it out for a spin for an hour or so and
Almost filled my pants. I honestly love this Fazer 1000 but today i love it even more. We are popping over to Anstruther tomorrow for Fish N Chips and i think the wife will be punching my ribs now and then
Best 80 quid i have ever spent.

Givi Discontinued pannier racks. Bloody hens teeth for the Fazer. Need powdercoated but put them on the bike so if my cheeky offer on cases get excepted.
I now have spare top racks and top box plate for the FZS1000 if anyone needs them. (Monolock)

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Just been through customs here in Cadiz for the ferry
Normally the Guardia/Customs are arse holes.
He asked where I'd been. When I said Portimao, he looked at the tyres and waved me straight through
It's a bit strange as all the foot passengers need to go through airport type scanners.
But the vehicles only get a cursory look unlike the Guardia are in a bad mood.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
I learnt some years ago to amend the default OOO notification to something along the lines of, 'I'll be away from [date] to [date]. Any messages received to this mailbox will be deleted upon my return and not read. If you require urgent assistance please email [group mailbox]'.MrLongbeard wrote: Tue Jun 23, 2026 1:04 pm For the first time in years n years I have zero'd out my inbox, just in time to go on holiday and have it fill up again.![]()

On a hot day like this, some Greek yogurt, crushed walnuts and honey.

When a road closure takes you on a different route.......... and it's AWESOME. This will now be my default route for going to that town!

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Woke up in Cornwall where the temps are about 6 or 7 degrees lower than back at home. I was a bit miffed at leaving the hot weather behind but it’s worked out well, especially for my menopausal wife, which indirectly means me too !

Possibly some of the worst timing for advertising?
