She definitely wouldn't be able to go on it.

I have my daughter, so I can't go anywhere, but Sunday I may nip out for a while.

My bike parts arrived at 12:00, Royal Mail 48hr service, posted on monday. Chucked the new master cylinder on, bled it and filled it up, connected reservoir and filled that up. Bit of bleeding and I now have a rear brake. The only fly in the ointment was me dropping a bolt down the exhaust pipe, bec...

I used to do my own, whittle a broomstick down and ram it in there.
Then I realised the local breaker only charged twenty quid if I took the forks to him, so I stopped.

Tell your lass friend to bring her broomstick.

I will try and keep it a bit cleaner this year, maybe, probably, but as it will be used for work most days thr...

I was driving along in the late nineties one night in my Mum's mk4 escort and I lost all drive. Got it towed to a friend of a friends garage and the gearbox was pronounced scrap. So I got him to replace the four speed with a five speed, it made loads of difference, no longer was it revving its tits ...
