Here’s to border force not letting you back in to the country.

I just keep cleaning and gapping plugs until they show signs of physical breakdown.

Well good on you and your better half for giving them a home and a family.

Is she adopted?

Did it only have one pedal?

Are you painting the fork lowers?

Insurance for kids is crazy expensive these days. I almost feel guilty only paying £130 a year for mine….almost.

Her insurance premium isn’t going to go down anytime soon.

I wonder if it has fixed the rattle?

It has rails that sit under the frame and a couple of stabilising hooks, the Harley has a double cradle frame, you can get different mounts for different types of bike.

So where are you then?

I think it is a rebranded Moulton.

Worked for me.

I’m pretty sure the current motor they use is a Chinese built derivative of the Yamaha lump they used on the earlier bikes, regardless of if they fold or not, I suspect the bikes will continue to be made but possibly under a different name. It would make a good addition to some other brand that only has mega expensive bikes like Norton for example.

Stealing pictures off instagram again?

If it is a hydraulic tensioner you can usually unload it while the bike is running and then release it to see if it takes up the tension.

You used the f word.

Yeah, that’s what he has in mind.

The problem is he wants to do you.

Broken tooth on front sprocket bouncing about? Stethoscope would help you, I bought one years ago from Machine Mart, saves me a lot of time. It is often hard to pinpoint rattles on a bike as the engine noise masks where the rattles are coming from.

How long has it taken to lose three stone?
