I don't normally watch it as I find it boring though 20/20 is a lot better.

When England started batting, they were favoured 80/20 to win. By the time I went out for some dinner, it was down to 50/50 and then about 5 overs from the end it was looking more like 20/80 in NZ's favour. I didn't think they would manage it but what a finish.

Now, my understanding of Cricket is from school some 30+ years ago. 241-8 I though was a winning score compared to 241 all out. They got away with it though and then fluked that boundary to get a 6 from the knocked on ball in the super over (Who the fec knew what one of them was before yesterday?)!!

All the wires going to the alarm are black. It looks like a switched live from the ignition.

I dont have time to trawl through the wiring diagram again now but......

The switchgear has a common feed. Cant remember the colour but try checking to see if you have 12v on that and work back to the battery/ignition switch from there if it doesnt.

This is one of my favourite Only Fools scenes ever.

Yes, it will fit but a couple of the connectors may need to be changed/adapted. Cannot recall which ones though.

Sounds like a sticky caliper. It will need stripping and cleaning.

Relays?

The box eye doesnt use any relays as standard. I would have though the fox eye was the same

Price and location?

There used to be 7 main dealers in my City up until just a few years ago selling all the brands. Every single one has closed down. Says it all

35 years ago when I started riding, in Crawley we had 4 bike dealerships. One did Kawasaki, one did Suzuki, one did motor cross stuff and one did all sorts. The next town to the west (Horsham) had one bike shop, the one to the east (East Grinstead) had 2 or three and the town to the north (Horley) had one. Today, we have P&H and Crawley having now taken over all the brands locally and T.Northeast in Horley. The next nearest bike shops are bout Triumph dealers which are about 40 mins away.

35 years ago, every 16 year old had a moped or wanted a moped and many went on to ride bigger bikes. Today, barely any mopeds are on the road and not many of those are ridden by people who want to go onto bigger bikes.

35 years ago, or thereabouts, the 2-part test was introduced with part one being in the car park dodging cones and part 2 was on the road riding around the block with an examiner jumping out from behind a tree to see you do an emergency stop. Once you took that test at 17 you could ride anything. Today, you need to do the CBT before you can even think about going on the road, then the hazard perception (which is really aimed at car drivers) then the theory then the cone avoidance and finally a long complicated road test with an examiner who may or may not be following you in a car because it goes against their H&S to let them ride a motorbike

Is it any wonder less people are interested in bikes these days?

That's a nice clean looking bike but the price is high for a UK buyer. May not be high for someone in Ireland though. Was that a standard colour in Ireland? Certainly not a UK colour. Looks good though.
