RC, I admire your integrity!

We've had wild boar in the back garden over the last few nights, hunting has been banned since the lockdown. I bivvied in a wood next to my Moto Guzzi in Brittany one year on the way to madones des motards bikers rally at porcaro village. During the night heard what I thought were dogs sniffing the...

This may help. Wind the righthand one clockwise and lefthand one anticlockwise. As you grip the bar,we tend to twist our wrists inwards. This will twist the tape tighter.....in theory!! I like silicone gripper type bar tape (Bontrager is one I have used) ,it can be repositioned and retensioned until...

"fold after the first episode" ...creased me up!! Scored with that one

Body lice? Can't say I have seen that one!

Any of you guys in the building trade?
I have been using damp course to make mudflaps for years.
Rigid with give if caught on a root,rock etc.
Use cable ties or existing screw holes etc.
Not posh,just functional.
Cheap as chips!

Hank nuts?
Can't see them working on weight weenie carbon forks!!

Composite's film choice is on ITV2 tonight 10pm!!

Damn! Ruined my Rook flu joke!

LOL! JC

The yellow dots alignment is not gospel as there is a part of the shift mechanism that can effectively "twist" over time due to gear changing loads. So the dot on the shift drum ends up needing to be further clockwise to get the shift pawls correctly aligned. This may only be the thicknes...

Spot on Gairy! I am fortunate to be working on my own in a workshop. If we are restricted fully ,then we need to comply . I care for my 90+ father,as a lot of others do on this forum, so I am not interacting with anyone except across a counter wherever possible. A few months is a small amount of tim...

Nothing wrong with cycling to work as far as BJ advice. (At the mo) I certainly am continuing. Today was bliss,saw about a dozen vehicles. Popped into town to get dads eye drops. It was like a specials track!! 👻(Sorry VS!) The odd thing..... Loads of wrinklies were in town.....so much for isolating!...

I think that home bams must only be a bivvy to qualify,no tarp or tent!!
Softies!!

Punctures on a hub geared bike are a bit of a faff with wheelnuts. :| Just a suggestion. Get a pair of Poundland c-spanner set. Save the 15mm ones and grind off the opposite end to save a few grams. Or better still a pair of 15mm ring spanners,got a few from car boot sales once ,four for a £1! Sad I...

Where is everyone getting their pasta from??
I must be the only iti with over 100ltrs of homemade passata and no pasta.
I can't even make fresh pasta as all the flour is sold out too!! (Or pizza)

Hmmm, could have been the pine Martin, was there a souvenir shop attached...or am I thinking of somewhere else?
I went several times,I think one year the event was combined with a music festival, Probably early 2000?
Thanks SR.

Cool! Belt drive!!
Be interesting to see the bike!

They do appear to produce good photos RC.
My bird pics look like dots with my current phone.
Some Huawei phones have telephoto lenses like the p30 & p30pro. Am just waiting for a new model to be released so I could afford the p30 .
Which model do you have?

Aha! 1950ish, twin, three bearing crank,nice looking rounded features! A burman box?
I have limited knowledge about British bikes to be honest,I like a few singles ie. Panther's, rocket 3 (hence Laverda triples,only 180° though!)
Plus.. kh triples, v-twins, and anything with More than 4cylinders,

Are you using a pre unit motor Stu?
Which one? British I assume?

How lucky you are to see so many buzzard's SR. Due to high kite numbers in beds,bucks,Herts area,don't see them very often. As your in the aviemore area. I used to ride Aviemore area MTB events in 90's . Does the cafe with a viewing bay window to watch birds and red squirrels near there still exist ...
