Just spent the better part of three hours taking off, and cleaning, my car's blower motor. It's been intermittently making an annoying whirr. Now, I managed to clean a lot of black soot and it looks brand new, but have gone from an intermittent whirr to what sounds like an angry bobcat stuck inside a box

Elefant?

That sounds like it needs perfecting.

Please don’t get a Vespa

You take a standard road bike, turn it offroady, then you get a Ducati Scrambler. But then you have too much grapa on a friday night, and you take the street bike turned offroady, and make it into a cafe racer with a fairing. Next, they’ll take the cafe racer with a fairing and make it more offroady again, and then …

Or, proper left field

I got it, it’s a Moto Guzzi getting the model is way too much to expect.

Country of origin?

There’s something really great about boxers, though, appart from good traction on slippery surfaces, good torque, and sounding great at full chat, and that’s not having a 270° crank to put on silly internet articles.

It’s a 2000cc bike with no space for a pillion? Even hipsters like to get laid!

Nothing on that list is 45 years old, Bob!

Another one, maybe one or two after that.

That’s the guy who broke down in Portugal and made it sound like he was in Congo and there weren’t any mechanics around, isn’t it?

Suzuki 125cc trailie! Or Honda XL whatever it is!

Maybe sticky both threads up here for a while?

You just squeezed that in there like it’s nothing Another dr650?

I'll flounce before he gets it

They look like this: I think they work perfectly well, there's none that have stripped. There's only 4 or 5 sizes on the whole bike, plus nuts and all that. And why would you be using anything other than the correct bit to work a screw? Aren't you a professional mechanic?

Don't think there's a BOTM this month, no point if we can't put it up.
