now with Monster gone, finally found the interest in replacing the last possible thing, logically, that could be wrong with my last Ugly before i throw it in the river. If i don't answer it means i've already tried that one. Just drained oil and then punched 16* holes in a sheet of card to put crankcase screws in. About to remove clutch slave, gearchange etc (yawn) *just a guess.
Finally getting the lime plaster replaced on the side of number 23. Builder reckons it’s a 7-10 day job, dependant on how quickly the various layers dry so fingers crossed
Been to the tip. Didn't take the contaminated petrol - because you can't take more than 5 litres. I've got 20 litres to dispose of. Also you have to leave what you took it in. Maybe I'll take it to Tewkesbury and pour it in the Severn.
Where were you 20 years ago when I started my “How Do I Get Rid of a Bucket of Petrol?” thread on Visordown?
Twenty years ago I was re-evaluating, after stopping the codeine I'd been prescribed after crashing the Triumph and realising 'I hadn't been concussed, it was the codeine'. Suddenly my memory worked again. Yesterday - about Chinese Dentist - we passed the racecourse, and hit traffic, which turned out to be the slowest I'd ever known hereabouts. After about ten minutes of crawling, I could see that half a mile ahead was a very big lorry with apparently nothing in front of it; so it seemed like that was why the hold up. As it finally sped up, we took the turn off for the tip and soon were crawling along again. This time it looked like a car towing a caravan might be the holdup. After the next turn off we sped up again and drove the rest of the way unimpeded. Going back the other way (as opposed to back the way we'd come) before long we went over the M5, at which point I noticed the northbound side had four bollards across the entire carriageway, and the penny dropped. Then on the Evesham road heading back to Cheltenham we saw the opposite lane/lanes chock-a-block almost all the way back. And apparently they've only just reopened the M5; but I still don't know what happened beyond a 2 vehicle crash between Cheltenham and Tewkesbury the rozzers closed the road to investigate. One would suppose the crash was serious enough that finding out who or what was to blame was worth the cost to the economy.
I got caught in the traffic due to the crash, Worst I have seen in a long time. Was on the Beemer - getting past traffic - ended up behind a guy in full leathers on a 125. The guy was weaving like he was Rossi - very odd - after a few minutes of that I got annoyed. Overtook Rossi (lol), then he followed like it was a race - what a prat.
Yeah, before I knew what was up, I observed that, even on a bike, able to filter past, I'd be getting pissed off by now. But at least it wasn't hot.
Yes, I passed him as he was annoying - he saw that as a 'lets race' signal. Having been through lots of traffic - not my intention. Yes, its interesting how they want to race you.
Id have to agree....came off my pushbike some years back - my lid cracked from one corner all the way across the top (there was about an inch left of the two sides connected...) - ended up underneath a skip lorry... ironically at that point in time id been off motorbikes for about 15 years....wife got on my case to ditch pushbikes and go back to motorbikes...so its her fault im here now....
Flew over the top of a USAF C130 Hercules who was at 200ft over the North Sea, whilst he was doing steep bank turns. Crazy fecker.
Had another attempt at proofing the 20 year tent canvas on our folding camper. First attempt ended in abject failure at Oulton Park Andy
That’s what I do with mine, sometimes I treat myself and go down by the lock and pour half in the Avon and half in the Severn.
Got more ink on my inner upper right arm and got one extended on the lower part to artistically fill a void. Hurts like a bastard now.
You need to be careful not to do all of the fabric, I once waterproofed a tent entirely, and it was no longer breathable...the condensation inside over night rendered it unusable.
