What about 1 wheel and a motor?

Ahhh, the pressure, think I’ve only been out once this year and it’s not looking go for a trip out in the next three days …

Sorry to hear your wife is having health issues Clive, I hope she recovers OK and life gets as back to normal as it can. As above try adult social services and poss occupational health. We had to do it for my mum, they weren't perfect but they did help with various things to help her mobility. We had to buy a bed which can be raised and lowered tho. Some of the stuff is eye wateringly expensive. They were reasonably good with arranging home visits by a nurse to change dressings etc.

You do live in a lovely part of the world Marcel.

I found a replacement BMW K100 tank of the correct year on eBay close to me and it seems pretty good and was a reasonable price. I need to strip the paint off of it so I can check if it got any filler in it and get a better look at the lower shoulders as the things seem to always leak there. BMW used one tank format from 83-86 and then changed in 86 to a slightly different design with a different fuel level sender, a diff size fuel pump and different tank fixing points. The latter type are more freely available and I had also tracked one of those down as I wasn’t sure I could find one of the earlier type. Using it would mean more welding for different fixings and I’ve decided I’d rather use the original earlier design if I can. I’ve picked up the tank but need to strip the paint off of it. I’d rather not sand it off as it’s a pain in the arse. Anyone got any experience on aluminium with using Nitromores ?

Tastes great, and octopus, as long as it’s cooked correctly. If it’s overcooked it’s like chewing a rubber band.

To be fair, it does look like they have been caught from somewhere near Chernobyl.

Supposedly, but if you want to buy a camera or phone or whatever the prices are the same as the UK. Tobacco is cheap, as is alcohol .

Packing my bags to return home from a weeks skiing in Andorra ( weird little place jointly owned by France and Spain for Marcel), 65 cm of snow in one day, fresh snow every day but also very strong winds so various parts of the domaine closed from one day to another. Been a fun week with good friends. Four am start tomorrow

If I want a decent steak I normally go to ALDI, they have a good sized rump or sirloin for around £8. I’m fussy though and generally look for the leanest one possible.

No, the BMW. It looks like they will fit anything with the right sized bar. They appeal to me because you don’t need a separate controller. I’ve just ordered a new Speedo for the BMW from the same manufacturer, so will soon see the quality or otherwise of their stuff.

Control button is on the left grip, has 5 settings. Don’t need anything else apart from 12v.

Ok, thought it was fir your bike … Im considering some of these for my bike - https://www.acewell.co.uk/Heated Grips/ACE-HG20.htm?action=full&id=347

You have to mount that big control knob thing on the bars? That’s going to look ugly.

I use hobby gas, found them to be pretty good. You pay a deposit for the cylinder and then just pay for the fill thereafter.
