I will have a look at the pipe and lance tomorrow, if no joy with that I will bin it, only wanted it to jet wash the paving slabs down the side of the bungalow, when it rains they are as slippery as buggery,.....Thanks anyway.

Hyundai......... i have cleaned all the lime scale (our water is very hard) out of the pipes, well as far as I can reach, repaired the on off water switch/valve.... the inlet water filter is clean, I am beginning to suspect it maybe the lance thats partially blocked, or pipe to the lance.

Been trying to find out why my pressure washer has so very little pressure, all seems OK. think it's just generally worn out, which is surprising as I have hardly use the thing.

And by the way I am going I may reach 70 before I ride again.

Break yourself in gently, then it will come flooding back to you.

Still nice here ☀ we have no shopping to do, so it's a afternoon of BSB racing.

I think it is a church....been in one twice, last time I went into a church I would rather forget about the whole event.

Not a cloud in the sky!...and feels reasonably warm out there!.......it can't be a Bank Holiday weekend surely!.

The frame under the Daelims tupperware is in a great condition for a 9 year old scoot, but there again it has not been ridden during the winter, or much during the rest of the year. But it is standing up well. It does OK for a 250cc, but it will hardly ever get the adrenaline flowing, and it seems to be set up for good mpg over mph, but it is (which is not saying much) much faster than other 250cc scoots , the Yamaha Majesty 250 I had was 4 or 5 bhp less, and it was really noticeable, 75mph was absolutely top whack, much less will a pillion on board.

I can only afford to run the scoot, another bike is just a pipe dream...... I can get spark plugs for £10, tyres where put on just before I got the scoot, had a look at them, in good condition......air filter is the problem, with no importer or dealers getting genuine Daelim parts is problematic.

The new models are getting too expensive for what they are now, can buy a car for the same money as a new T Max costs.

Nowhere near, Peak District is 40 miles away..

Dodged that bullet.......as i have no plans to visit the south east.

I would like a T Max 560, now that has some excitement when riding it, but at £13,500 I think not.

For some! people there is.

In a ideal world I would like a bike and a scoot, the scoot is convenient for short trips like nipping to the shops or into town with its good underseal storage, and also like to have a bike for the fun part of riding, the scoot is lacking in the fun side of riding....the handling gets exciting if I push it too hard through the bends.. But the scoot is very cheap to run, very good on fuel, servicing consists of 1 litre of oil, 1 spark plug and a air filter, and with so little power the tyres hardly wear, well mine don't, cos I don't go anywhere to wear them out . so it suits my pocket. So yes I would prefer a bike in a ideal world if I had the choice.

I could sit and look at that view for quite a while, would have to be there for the full effect though.

Fabulous!...

Ah the memories, Parkas, Ben Sherman shirts, Staypress trousers and Doc Martins!, I did not dress up like that back then, and certainly wouldn't nowdays, old twats on Lambretta,s and Vespas reliving their 20,s, even though now they are in their 60,s and 70,s.

Sorry to disappoint you.

I have sat thinking, furthest I have ridden from home is 27 miles to Donington Park, all other rides no further than 10 miles

That's 100 more miles than me..

Dry, but cloudy here, but I am about 40 miles away....
