I had the pfizer jab, 2 days with mild headache and feeling tired then fine, not enough to stop me working.I have to say while waiting for the jab and reading the bumph I started to feel half the side effects before going in....

  We got a load of hand sanitiser delivered at work the other day, it seems there's a lot about that is alcahol free using benzalkonium chloride as it's active ingredient.
 As soon as I heard alcahol free alarm bells started ringing so I got round to looking the stuff up today, it seems that although it claims to kill coronavirus and cites european centre for disease prevention and control the only mention I can find is relating to canine coronavirus, a related but different strain that is of no threat to us whatsoever, the american centre for disease control states the active ingredient as unreliable for covid19.
 If you are using this stuff check the ingredients and don't let it lull you into a false sense of security, it 'may' work on covid19 but there is no evidence that it will and washing your hands with soap will likely be far more effective, a little knowledge is indeed a dangerous thing!
 I can see a lot of folk using this stuff in place of washing hands, DON'T!
 And no your 80% proof vodka won't do it either as it's only 40% alcahol, you need at LEAST 60% to be effective.
 

The mixture screws control fuel flow on the Fazer 1000, so out to richen, in to lean.

The paragraph titled 'Drill Out Mixture Screw Plugs' here is accurate and informative.  Explains the difference in mixture screw settings depending on whether the carbs have one or two of the pilot circuit bypass holes enlarged.

Thanks for that, now I'm back off holiday I should get around to this hopefully.

An odd one but if anyone on here has an old dog with a heart problem and uses vetmedin 5mg send me a message, I may be able to save you a few quid as I have some left over and can't bear to see a vet send them for incineration when a dog could make use of them.

Anyone with more than a guess?

Half arsed ad coming up.....
2003 FZS1000 for sale, 22,532 miles on the clock, silver (yes I know it's not the most exciting colour).
Has R6 shock mod, ivanised carbs, multi-gauge fitted, 4 degree ignition advancer fitted (original included), SP end can fitted (good original end can included), AIS removed (included).
Has only done about 200 miles between mot's since I've had it, has all mot's since first one all dated the same as date of registration, have original yamaha owners pack with spare key in original plastic sleeve.
It's not the tidiest on the planet as it has a few scratches on the paintwork and the usual yamaha engine paint issues but is a good bike, chain and sprockets replaced about 600 miles ago.
£2300 will take it away, I can't be arsed with tyre kickers or haggling as I'm not even sure I want to sell it (don't get me wrong, I will) so if you think you are going to turn up and beat me down save your time and effort, I fancy a change and can't justify another bike in the garage doing very little.
Current mot runs till late october but I will put a fresh one on it for sale.
Reg is KY53 *** so if you have a fetish for ky jelly this is the bike for you, if you don't give it a go, you never know till you try it.......

Update: Slight misfire sorted by a good clean and balance of carbs.

did 240 miles yesterday tooling around Shropshire and the surrounding counties

Is 'tooling around' the same as 'riding like a tool'? or should that be 'tootling around'?
The first one is more fun! 

That'll do me, just looked a bit thin to me, cheers you lot.

know a few tyre fitters that are cun.., oh no sorry you said Kent, too many beers.....

What is everyone using as there winter wheels?

Feet or pushbike, only work 3 minutes walk or 1 minute pedal away so can't be arsed riding anywhere in cold wet weather, the joys of getting old....

thats at the bottom of my to do list

Your my sort of bloke! 
My to do list only has a bottom, I guess I'm just lazy.

Foccing typical! first day of no tax disk being issued and my tax disk holder decides to bale out and disappear into the ether, I doubt the powers that be will be interested in issueing a replacement as it only has this month to run anyway.
I guess failiure to display is no longer an offence anyway......

Mine always 'squeeks' when I turn it on and it's well copper greased.
