I bought one of those in 2010, cost a tenner with battery and charger.
It’s been in my pocket and used since then, it’s used a lot, I also have one on each bike, I carry a spare battery and my torch through the winter and have never been let down. I have worn through the rubber cover over the on/off button, so I guess it’s time to get another.

Didn’t they stop making Bentleys in 1931?

I was going to say Ride a White swan was first single, but it may have been
Paranoid, Lola, Black Knight, My Sweet lord, In The Summertime or even Back Street Luv. No I can’t be bothered to look at them and see the dates-I would have
got them when they were in the charts.

I just by whatever saddles come along at the right price.
After 30 miles the old flite has me standing and giving my arse a rest every few minutes for the next 10 miles or so. a charge spoon is slightly better.
I bought a WTB Devo, well it was cheap, it’s hard as hell but I can ride
50 miles and no arse ache at all, clearly it’s the saddle for me.

stick a screwdriver between the bolt and the b adjuster screw and turn the plate.
I can put them on with just my hands most of the time.

welding underneath cars every day meant all my clothes were full of burn holes, I always got given T shirts and it wasn’t something that ever bother me.
But I had a T shirt from When the Norton Hogslayer came to santa Pod, I was very pissed when I realised it had been cut up and a consigned to the rags.

I had a load of T shirts printed in 2003, I sold some but had about 30 left over,
So that was me sorted for T shirts for some years.

I have just watched silent witness, so I should know the answer, but I fell asleep.

I bought a computer in 1994. I saw it on computers.forsale.newsgroup?
It was being sold by a bloke in Reigate, all the other ads were from the states.

I have a site on a free host, it’s been there 5 or 6 years now and apart from a
weekend th email server was **** it’s been fine. The domain was with supanames, until they were taken over by 123reg. 123reg
put up the hosting prices, so I moved it to 000webhost.com.

I also have a domain and website on Forthosting, I bought a 2 year package on ebay for 99p. It’s been faultless, and I have renewed it since. I messed up the mysql I put on page one night, Alex answered my question and told me where I had gone wrong withing an hour or so, that was late at night!

Hot Gee’s linctus.

That black boss 429 is nice.

I am guessing the L023 Dart was the quickest of the muscle cars.

Bike museum in Fairfax, ride up mount tam, ride repack.

I saw one in white and it reminded me of the ‘Crowmod’

How does that ugly bmw look like a turbo pro mod, apart from having 4 wheels and being white.

Draw them from scratch?
I cut masks for repainting lettering and almost
always end up drawing the lettering out myself.
I use adobe illustrator, which doesn’t take a lot
of learning to use, but guess inkscape would be
similar[and it’s free].

Try a local stockholder, Mine will sell however much you want.
Or try small engineering places. Have a look on parker steel
site.

See where it says 1/2-20 on the chuck, well it’s got a 1/2unf thread onto the spindle, it may have a screw inside the chuck as a security thing, take a look. then stick something in the chuck and a spanner on the flats and unscrew the chuck, they are RH thread[they tighten as you drill].

I have been out once in the last few years without a pump and repair outfit.
As I was riding along I thought if I got a puncture I could go to Evans, buy
a tube and borrow a pump. just turned into the perimeter road[gatwick] and I had a flat! I didn’t have any money, so no point in going to Evans. I rode home on the
flat;-)

I watched Series one and I thought it was OK, much better than the US version of the Bridge. I will watch series 2.

Go NHS.
I put up with toothache pretty much constantly for about 15 years.
Our dentist retired and I heard all these stories about having to pay, so I put up with the pain. Eventually I woke up in the night with most severe pain I have had, the side of a tooth had broken off. I phoned dentists, asking if they took NHS patients, about the fith one I called said yes.

For 45 quid I got 10 trips to the dentist, and she she pulled out 4 teeth.
A year after that on boxing day I got really bad tooth ache, I phoned them
a few day after that, and I went in that afternoon and had a root filling.

Pull the mech cable out and you should be able to work out what’s stiff.

Fuel car/bike.
Gear oil.

I still haven’t got one of them new fangled CD things;-)

And:
Ypsilon in a Malaysian Pale
Ege Bamyasi

Phaedra.

I never had much luck with couple of quid lights.
I bought a blackburn mars 3.0. I bought it because it
came with a lifetime warranty, I guessed they must have thought
the lights would last a few years at least. It’s been used for 3 or
4 years now and is still going strong. Very happy with it.

Anyone know what the light that throbs is, I see them occasionally, they
are super bright and throb rather than flash.

I was really impressed with ascii art.
Barry, a bloke who lived in our road in 1967, had life size drawings of naked women
on his garage wall.

Probably prefered VIZ but for years no one seemed to have heard of
Gutter, then I found my brothers stash of them.

What ever happened to Miraculous Martha, I have a drawing a cartoonist
did of me with Miraculous Martha;-)

Clarke.
Campbell.
Garlits.

I put some Ritchey foam lock on grips on my bike. I will be putting them on
whenever I have to replace grips from now on.

It was total crap imo

They did a great job of sewing her arm back on, you would never know it’s been chopped off.

I give it a really good scrub in wrong mix diesel/petrol, that’s the
stuff a mate gets paid loads to pump out of peoples fuel tanks.
I would guess diesel would work OK in a chain cleaner, another
advantage to it, it smells great;-)

I went out with a chic who wore cowbow boots and I had admired them, so for my birthday she bought me a pair. We went into a shop and she picks a pair and says try them on, they went on pretty easy. No way would they come off, ended up she paid for them and said they would loosen if we walked around the rest of the day. I could have done with a bootjack they were really difficult to get off. I never put them on again.

I think they employed deaf blokes as sound engineers.

I could barely hear some of her mumbling.

Love most of them.
The Trinity films not seen them for a long time.
I better watch on now.

Hawkwind summer 1972 at Guildford Civic hall.
Week or so before a girl I went to school with wanted to go
and see Bowie, I persuaded her to go with me to see Hawkwind instead.

does it need to be decent quality? Spent ages going through ply at wickes for a work bench as most of them had big splits or missing bits where there had been knots.

A decent wood yard might be better stuff.

I have made a few casting patterns, getting quality ply isn’t easy. I went through the whole thing going to several old established yards and looking at stacks of ply and it was all crap with loads of voids. Eventually I found someone who had a stash of birch ply and it was perfect, it was the stuff you used to get when you bought ply.

If your after a free/cheap sheet of 12mm ask about the ply that pallets of ply come wrapped in. One of the local builders yards asked if the pallet wrapping ply[well whatever you call it ] was any good to me as they were burning it! Let me take what I wanted for free.

I bought a range rover on ebay for a quid. I had to go from Gatwick to Wolverhampton to collect it. National coaches were doing a special offer, 1 pound
city to city and Gatwick counts as a city.

I have had a cheap chinese torch for three or four years. It’s an ultrafire 501b, I use it a lot and after three years the rubber over the on/off button has worn through and the anodising is worn off the edges. But the torch is still going strong. I won’t hesitate to buy another.

1942/58 hardly davidson, it was my first bike when I got a license.
Flogged it to buy a torque converter! I regretted selling it imedietly.

1958 700 Royal Enfield, I bought it when I was 14. I rode it home and it burst
into flames. Bursting into flames seemed quite funny, when I had got my breath back after pushing it from tadworth to boxhill. I rode it around until I swapped it for an A10 engine
It seemed a real arm stretcher at the time, and it smelled glorious when it was hot; yep I was in love but I needed an A10 for my chop.

Norton Atlas, A mate bought an Atlas from Paul Dunstall at the time the Z1 came
out, it was faster than a Z1. I was totally in awe of the thing. Last time I saw it was the night helmet laws were introduced. So when I saw an Atlas advertised
on an ad in a shop window I bought it. Wasn’t as I remembered, but once I got it back to standard I loved it, it suited me perfectly. I started driving a car and it was just stood so when someone offered me 300 quid I took it, what an idiot.
