Everytime my wife and I want to have sex,we have to say the code word 'Washing Machine.' The other night I leant over to her in bed and said,"Washing Machine." She said,"Sorry babe,I'm too tired,maybe tomorrow." After 10 minutes she felt guilty so she turned over,and whispered in my ear,"Washing Machine." I said,"Sorry love,it was only a small load so I did it by hand."

Yeah I agree, especially with T300's and their delicate spragg clutch. From what I have read well set up clean carbs and strong battery are a great way of protecting it.

I think you're better off with a slightly higher tickover on a carbed bike in winter

Need the money (if! it sells this time) for the axle replacement on the Dacia........

Good luck mate, some lovely cheap projects out there that would suit you.

I can get F/C for the scoot for £65.......but I am hoping to not have to renew it next month Again.

Well that was an hour of high tension but the carbs are back in. Won’t lie it’s not a pleasant job but doable with a bit of patience and a hair dryer to warm up the rubbers. The bike started first time on choke, came off choke reasonable quickly and once warm was able to set the tick-over to where it should be around 1050 ish. Supposed to be 950 to 1050 so no complaints. Still have to check the carb balance but to be honest it’s doesn’t seem far off IMHO. The point for me is that the bike ticks over well off choke now which it didn’t before. So for now I will take that . Still be a bit of fine tuning to come but I am a happy bunny. Still have to clean the tank out before the bike is rideable but my garden is currently like the Somme so getting the Sprint in and out isn’t easy on my own so no rush for that. Much else to do.

I can relate....

A pirate walked into a bar and the bartender said: 'Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible.' 'What do you mean?' said the pirate, 'I feel fine.' Bartender: 'What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before.' Pirate: 'Well, we were in a battle and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm fine now.' Bartender: 'Well, ok, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?' Pirate: 'We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook. I'm fine, really...' Bartender: 'What about that eye patch?' Pirate: 'Oh, one day we were at sea and a flock of birds flew over. I looked up and one of them shit in my eye.' Bartender: 'You're kidding, you lost an eye just from bird shit?' Pirate: 'It was my first day with the hook.

PS: i pi55ed them off cos i bought the BMW 1200GS 2009.. CASH:

I have only EVER been to a Harley/BMW dealer once in my life, i would never ever darken the doors again. I would sooner give my money to a Chinky dealer the way they treated me because i had booked a test ride on a BMW.. T*ats..

The house next door to me is owned buy a guy who has Losts of cach, and i do mean lots. His wife has the same name as me...( Welsh Wales ) Lyn. He bought her a very nice German car to carry the Sprogs to school..the four seat one not the normal 2 seat sports car. She loved it, but then cos he could get a big discount on the business tax he changed it to the EV version for PartX plus another 30grand..first she liked it..then she did'nt and wanted her old Petrol version back. So 3 months after he bought it he went to trade it in for another Petrol Cy ( Opps ) and the dealer told him sorry Sir we do not buy s/h EV's Dealer lost out because he bought 3 new Por ( sorry ) new cars a year from them..He now buys from another dealer.. Who wants an EV ha!

To the dickhead who accused me of following his wife home from the pub last night, I know where you live!

Wow pot and kettle

Can't be worse than the shit @Buckster is posting...lol.

Fair enough, this is a super happy place, no one ever says anything negative so it’s best to keep it that way.

Deleted it, sounded like I was moaning for the sake of it.

Started refitting the carbs today, they passed the leak test before going on the bike. Got halfway through fitting them and got called away. Hopefully get chance to do more tomorrow.

Only ever been to Plymouth Harley, they weren’t good and have since gone bust.

His policy ran out ..

To @Clive's insurance thread?
