    What happened

    Oh, just dead to us then
  2. Me to, I am surprised by the speed of this one. Perhaps it’s because we have heard it all before and have not been sucked into the machinations this time.
  3. To that weird old Aussie guy who was taking forever to rebuild his KTM brakes. Did he die ?
  4. I'm sure you could have as could anyone given the financial freedom and support to do so. Getting a degree is a measure of commitment and academic rigor not necessarily intelligence. Ignorance and stupidity is a blissful unawareness of the world, people and surroundings you encounter and a lack of imagination to learn, it's a choice for most. Not something I would consider as necessarily a meritorious badge. But each to their own, you do you, I don't care.
  5. Can't educate Pork my friend.
  6. You do know that Vinegar is weak acetic acid
  7. I thought the Canadian education system was supposed to be quite good.
  8. The is normally a visible grove in the bearing races at the dead ahead and dead after section when mounted in the bike, especially when they have gotten noticeably worn. So the point is you move a fresh relatively unworn section from the left and right sides around to fore and aft. This is in the races not the ball bearings. Yes the ball bearings wear and become pitted and rough but it is the actual races we are talking about here. Even the manual that we had was old, Practical Motorcyclist or something like that looked like it was from the 1960's said it was only a temporary fix. And it did work, the owner of the bike we 'fixed' didn't keep it long after that only a few weeks. He managed to get the deposit together to buy a new Suzuki GP100 on higher purchase.. I wish I could be more accurate but this happened in the early 1980's and I had all but forgotten about it until my mate brought it up the other day.
  9. It would be a tragic waste, White Malt Vinegar is about £3 a gallon, more for cleaning use although you can use it for pickling and cooking or so I have been told.
  10. It's a bit of a garbled article, as far as I have heard there was one Body of the Chap Colman found at Sticker but more multiple remains found at Paramore woods which is a different but close location. Sticker is a lovely sleepy little place, we used to practice (singing) in the village hall years ago.
  11. His make up and hair dye would run . Might improve the smell though.
  12. Now you know I had new ones fitted to my CBF the other day, well I was chatting to one of my mates from back in the day when we were on Fizzy's and AP50's. He said do you remember when we did another mates bike for him. Twas a Suzuki B120 with absolutley fecked steering head bearings. I mean really bad, almost impossible to steer. Anyway he found a generic old Motorcycle maintenance Manual in the charity shop so we used that, about 6 of us tackled it, all without much of a clue. Anyway to the point of the tale, the manual advised us to replace worn steering head bearings but also advised that for a temporary fix that you could take out the races clock them 90 degrees refit and repack the balls in grease. Of course that was what we did and it bloody well worked. Much to all of our surprise. Of course being 16/17 none of us any money so it was never touched again until he traded the B120 for a new Suzuki GP100. I had forgotten about this but my mate reminded me. Anyone else ever heard of this? Of course you would never do such a thing nowadays but I suppose it must have been a acceptable fix back in the day.
  13. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/mystery-multiple-bodies-found-woods-151702428.html? Fecking serial Killer ?
  14. I just put them all up that I was thinking about to see which looked the best on the bigger screen. I was looking at the light and sky but you are right about the lid as well.
  15. Last pictures of it finished. Only a little tinkering around but it keeps me entertained and helps preserve the bike. Also helps use up all the fecking silver wheel paint I bought Before After
  16. Washed out the vinegar Wire brushed Painted
  17. The scale is different in the US and Canada, you can travel for hours and not see much apart from the highway. They aren't as tightly packed in as us.
  18. I have a spare with 291 miles on it . Look up the thread
