Sleep…what’s that?

From your description it does not seem to reach operating temperature or if it does it takes an age, I’d look at the thermostat first.

If it’s not loosing coolant, smoking badly and the oil is not emulsified then I’d change the stat first before anything else.

Very informal, the monthly club ride is a social/banter event. Then we have local area night rides and longer/harder rides that people post on our forum.

I think the lack of formality stops it becoming a chore.

I’ve got a PRST-1 languishing in the shed for commuter duties, IMO it was fine for XC, tracking beautifully over small bumps but when the pace was upped it would struggle and I went OTB more than once as the front plunged through it’s travel.

I think that conventional tele’s have had 70 odd years of R&D by a lot of manufactures and the linkage driven suspension has had hit and miss R&D over the same time. Perhaps if the same amount of money/time had been thrown at linkage systems they would not be seen as the quirky, sometimes flawed system that they can be.

Market forces/inertia have also influenced the direction/fashion of the motorbike/cycle industry.

However a 140mm travel DRCV shocked modern interpretation of a PRST would be very tempting.

Sounds like frozen condensate drain. Check the pipe that goes outside is not frozen up.

Is it switched on?

Another +1 for Telecoms, having had a taster course on mobile and transmission networks, the are very, very complex, admittedly there is a huge jump from “clever” network to self aware but………

I suspect they have no Attack Trail frames left, my old TARA link Attack Trail ovalised the head tube and they replaced it with an 09 Wolf Ridge as they had no TARA frames left.

Don’t buy an expensive motorbike with a great big loan when you get a good job, get a second house/mortgage with the money instead.

That way you’d have paid off both mortgages by now and have a house by a beach/moor.

-8.5C in Eastbourne this morning

How long has it been on the market? And to be brutal, how desperate are the sellers?

Whilst apprenticing I was testing a battery plate formation charger at full tilt, 100A and 120V DC. Finished testing and for some reason decided to turn off the control but leave the power circuit on. I went to disconnect the power leads and the the fully charged battery bank I was using as a load and the power supply discharged rather spectacularly through the M6 nut spinner I was holding as it clipped the DC busbars.

1 X 100A (dc side), 3 X 30A (AC on the 415v side) fuses blew as well as the battery 100A fuse along with the test bay circuit breakers. I also fried the newly built charger. I was left holding a very sorry for itself nut spinner and a good dose of arc eye(as well as a bollocking from the senior test engineer).

To this day I have no idea why I did what I did but have a very healthy respect for electricity.

About 25C as the wood burner is running, we’ve retired to the conservatory as it’s a bit cooler!

Chopping firewood for kindling at the end of a long day, stupid piece wouldn’t stand up on it’s own. I held it and put the axe into my knuckle bone. 3hrs in casualty, 4 stitches and still have a lumpy knuckle bone

All the best showerman,

broke my scaphoid at the Brighton Big Dog 2011 in August, finally got a bone graft and herbert screw in December, probably March before I can ride again.

Hmm beating someone up in a pub…….slap on the wrist
drug dealing…………slap on the wrist
Rioting (making govt and state look bad)………………prison
diddling HMRC out of money and not doing it very well………prison.

Complain all the same, dog warden/plod etc. Dog clearly not under control.

Harvey’s Old

:D

ohhh but they look good!

Sidmouth…………..gooseberry crumble ice cream….mmmmmmmmm

Had a claim for £18 (3 x off area daily food allowance, fully entitled too under T’s & C’s) bounced along with a £350 hotel bill. The reasoning was that until the £18 was explained they wouldn’t pay anything else on the expenses claim. Two months later got it sorted but that was the last time I ever spent anything on the company’s behalf.

12 years, getting a bit tired but still adequate

I think its the shape of the reef underneath and in front of the wave that contributes towards its shape. The US navy have done loads of mapping of the topography of the seabed at Mavericks and they now now why it’s as big and bad tempered as it is.

Dunno what ur talking about, my local break is like that every sunday………….

I wish!

AA bailed me out spectacularly when the Focus alternator went hard short and drained the battery flat 180miles from home.

You’ve got to be top dog all the time, they are trainable BUT you must be consistent and pack leader. Our staff will chase rabbits and squirrels if he thinks he can get away with it but he knows he’s in for a telling off if he ignores the “LEAVE” command.

Also have to say that it seems to be the smaller terriers that want to pick fights with the big dog, usually streaking across the field totally ignoring the old dear owners attempt at recall to face off the bigger dog.

After a long day of DIY I decided to cut up some of the off cuts for kindling so was using the small axe and holding the bits of wood. Yes you’ve guess it, got distracted and the axe went into my knuckle bone and finger, cue trip to A&E where after 3 hours they said we’ll steri-strip it, after seeing my grumpy face they elected to stitch it.

I have a nice scar and a lumpy knuckle to remind me of my stupidity.

The small axe just sniggers at me every time I go in the shed.

Not sure as to the pro’s and cons of going our seperate ways (as an Englishman with a bit of Scottish heritage) BUT unfortunately when AS opens his mouth all I hear is a scottish Bob Crow.

Get it looked at by a “grown-up”, you’ll probably get the needle in the bottom treatment but that’s better than dying of Tetanus.

Maybe it should be a monorail……….

says someone who “works” in the rail industry.

I thought it was 4 people that were dead?

No to guns but I’ll keep my Death Ray.

16mm of rain so far today on the south coast, still weeing down and my conservatory is leaking………AGAIN :evil: :x

Chewie

Round at a friends, champers, meal, red wine, ale, more champers (I think), fireworks, wii, more ale, home at 0300, not feeling well this morning.
