  1. I’ve already dealt with a dozen “bots” trying to join the forum this morning :rolleyes:

    We seem to be getting around 30 a day now ffs. Worst it’s ever been.

  2. Appreciate the tedious job of bot wiping. The internet is a wonderful thing but also a nest of corruption & evil! Keep up the good work:upyeah:

  4. Just received unused manifold, header and pipe for the monster, £80 on eBay.
    Removed the servo valve internals, and having a sleeve welded over the holes.
    Then off to be ceramic coated satin black.
    Will post images when fitted.
     
  5. And so far another half dozen :rolleyes:

    This morning I have been very busy……….I’ve jet washed the drive, done some gardening which included extending/shaping a border, replanted a couple of plants, weeded and taken 3 big bags of garden rubbish to the local tip.

    This afternoon I will be mostly doing nowt/nothing/nada/niente:)

  8. Nice little blurt out on the 899 today, Yarm, Richmond, Leyburn and through to Hawes, very little traffic so got a nice “flow” going ;)

    Tidy old Kawasaki at Hawes, good to see it still being used :upyeah:

    Quick coffee at Hawes then continue on to hang a left onto the B6259 Nateby/Kirkby Stephen, through Brough and onto the B6276 that runs past Selset and Grassholme reservoirs, now bits of this road are fekkin bumpy and bits are 1000 yard stare stuff so it kind of keeps your attention focused o_O !

    Then onto the Wear View diner at High Etherly

    A regular stop for me and the boys here, flying solo today though so it seemed really quiet without the constant piss-taking that normally goes on:joy:, just enough time to stop for another coffee and a fruit scone with jam and clotted cream...a diet one, zero calories ;)
    I always enjoy a day out more when I know everyone else is at work, or “day prison “ as I like to call it :laughing::laughing: ....six years on and still love my 899 :heart_eyes:
    About a 130 mile round trip

  10. Both @Carr and I would like some pictures of the floor after ‘socket gate’, especially as we might be considering purchase this flooring system. It’ll give us some tips on how to lay a perfectly square and flat floor what with your being such a pro. TIA :upyeah:

  12. A parallel line from the kitchen units with a 5mm expansion gap around the walls working from left to right, then repeat the process.Also the boards should overlap by a minimum of 300mm at the joints for retaining the strength in the product with constant traffic use.

  15. Ferry to NI so you can probably still go even if the EU/UK international travel is not opened up?
     
  16. Not been on for a while....life gets in the way....Not been out on anything sociably (rideouts with mates etc etc) since last year. Zeds running fine since it got rebuilt after getting written off...used the Hyper a few times to get to work on but no more than that....RSV4 not used since last september...

    Been garden landscaping for 3 months now....it still in the stage of being a shitty building job of which im the only labourer, coupled with a full time job and being over 50, and the added problem of being able to get no machinery to the rear of the house the entire job is manual, rough guess so far is 300 concrete blocks, 5tonnes of concrete mixed, approx 24 tonnes of earth dug out (wore out 2 shovels), 2 tonnes of loose chippings. Everything has to be carried down by hand, from the road, down the driveway, through the garage, down a steep flight of stairs, across a patio, down more stairs down the garden (90ft) and then do it all again with another block/bag of sand/cement/bucket of chippings etc etc....no access from the rear either...

    Never done it before but back in January jumped in on the whole AMC Gamestop saga so ive been following that very closely - the state of the financial markets in the U.S is so corrupt its hilarious - its like financial EastEnders - some fucked up shit literally happens every day....compelling viewing....

    Anyway....weather is getting better, just finished a huge block wall last night so have to hand over to the plasterers to get the fire pit and wall rendered up so i can take a break for a short while before i start the decking....approx (60 sq meters)...yey...
