I can totally relate to that Bob....my lower back, on the left side just above my hip, has been giving me grief since 2012 when I high-sided off the Kymco cruiser I had. I've found that CBD oil helps w/ relief quite a bit...but of course, I ran out yesterday... I'll have to make another trip to Sumpter by next week before I drive to Portland on the 31st for a funeral, where I'll also get to see my son & Grandkids.
-
My back has been behaving it's self for the past 3 weeks, now I have said that I expect I will sneeze and put it out again. hope you hip improves Bob. and soon. Could be worse, my wife is still sleeping on the sofa, sat almost upright...
-
We swapped from Sky tv & Internet to Virgin tv & Internet, what a big mistake that was. We have their basic package, which is so great! we can't record programmes, back to Sky (even though it costs more) as soon as possible.......

Had and intressting experience with a bear that was living in my backyard, some years ago at my previous place...lol....it lasted for 2 months..sounds like something for the gibberish thread...lol.

Mine is full of rabbit scrapes where they start to dig a small hole then move 4 feet and do it again. Wife is away overnight tonight so I was going to shoot the damn things but it's pissing down and blowing a gale and none of them are out
-
Im moving to Greenland and becoming a Greenlander...its warmer and I see money in the future....maybe hook up with a nice Eskimo...

Apart from Asda I have not left the bungalow for...er...it has been that long that I can't remember. Asda, that was a necessity.

If it were up to me I would put in a gravel path but my Mrs likes to call the shots in the garden . I couldn’t care less, she leaves me alone regarding bikes and stuff so that’s all I care about really.
-
And another thing Saul , I didn't want to lecture you like a typical American ( sorry Scott ..lol) but it sounded a little self centered on my part , I'm sure you'll figure something out...like world War 2 , many nations contribute in defeating the axis power....lol.
-
Didn't want to tariff you on the path , it looks awfully slippery and muddy, some more mats might work, or maybe some fine gravel to raise the path up a little...

Spent a few more hours on the Sprint this morning. When I got the bike the oil light worked but after a few starts it went out but sort of glowed when the motor was running. I didn’t worry to much it didn’t run badly at all, I thought electrical gremlin more than low oil pressure. A gamble I know but that was the choice. Anyway when I changed the clocks I put new bulbs in the idiot lights as there were some cheap LEDs in the old clocks. The oil light never worked again. I checked the oil light bulb again and it was fine. Oil pressure switch is a known weak point I was advised by the Triumph cognoscenti. So replaced that and no joy it made no difference. I got the manual out and studied the wiring diagram. Traced the wiring runs from joint to joint. All good until I checked the last one between the pressure switch to the first connector behind the battery box. So simple enough to fix, ran a new wire and replaced the connector. Covered everything in dielectric grease reassembled everything and the job was done. All technically simple enough but it took bloody ages tracking the different connections on the loom and making sense of the wiring diagram next to the bike. I got there in the end but what made it more of a ball ache was that some of the wiring colours were different to the illustration in the Triumph workshop manual. Yes I checked I was using the right diagram with the bikes Vin. Must have just been a random week that mine was built in Hinckley Works perfectly now though. Next job is to sort the low fuel light.

It's the main route up through the garden, the dog is charging up and down there several times a day, it's also the main route to get my bikes put away so it's hard on the grass this time of year. You can get grow through vehicle matting to lay on the grass to stabilise it. I think I will be buying some of that soon as I don't want to take my bikes out because it's almost impossible to get them back up the path on my own they just spin up and tear the grass up more.
