Ideally I’d like something similar to what I have


Paddock boots
I’m really not into the power ranger boots


My
Last ones were Dianese all black

Me and my wife work hard and have saved hard to treat ourselves to a couple of Quads to have some fun in our down time, the site which is still up looks I think you'll agree if you look at it is very realistic trust us it isn't we lost  £ 4000 & gained a lot of heart ache !!!! PLEASE PLEASE let's spread the word stop that feckin scum from doing it to some other hard working people !!!!!! Remember  ( REDLINE QUADS..... lower case just shouting out the site ) feck face is using the name ALEX SMITH the address on the website is a area in Aldershot again if you look at the site you can find the full address. THANK YOU in advance for sharing this Facebook pals

mildew has alway been an issue but its really bad now

 clean my bike often enough but not very often a deep clean panels off sort of job


 well I had the seat off and the side panels and the bike is covered in soft white furry stuff anything thats black is covered and stands out a mile , but its pretty much everwhere over the whole bike !

before I start spray god know what all over the place

General / noise
« on: 02 June 2015, 06:02:17 pm »
I am after some advice
 when i brought my house behind was fields now its an industrail estate
 and over the last five years the problem has got worse and worse
 now every night we are subjected to cars roaring around racing tyres screaming and people shouting
The cars have massive exhaust and can be heard the other side of the town over a mile away  the do actually race and have drawn a starting gride on the road , the also drifting  and spining ( spinning=driving around and around tyres screeching around a rounabout)
now a new one, exhaust igniters , these sound like a machine gun going off some times this will go on till 2am in the morning
 the culprits dont care and have bragged on face book that the police cant do nothing !
and the police seem to treat it as , as long as its out of the town centre its not realy an issue !
I can sit in my front room and hear this over the tv and in the summer we HAVE to close all the windows because of the noise !
 my local counsilors are now getting sick of it but again are powerless
and advice would be welcome
 
 move ? I wish

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / balls what might I have done !
« on: 07 July 2014, 09:40:00 am »
well bike past its mot with flying colours last week
 charged the battery all seemed fine

 next day the battery was dead
so being a clever bugger I put the bike back in the garage where I have a car battery with a set of jump leads!

popped the seat off wondered around the bike picked up the leads to conected them to the battery
 then as I conected them to the bike!  bloody mice running around in the garage , not much of a problem its only a garage ?  but we store loads in our garage along with the bike , connect up the bike turn around to try a scare the little bugger off

after about 5 seconds I'm meant with a strong smell of burning !


F0ck fock fock ! while I have been distracted I had connected the battery up the wrong way round !!



burnt my fingers but disconected it, smoke sparks like a firework display  and the smell of burning plastic !


I am fairly sure the battery if focked ! but I think it was already !  its been standing for nearly 2 months


The bike still runs and I cant see any other damage just the jump leads are now crispy  and the clips and springs are slighty deformed and no longer move !

Anything else I should check before I take it for a run ?

 and let the piss taking comence !

General / Urgent legal advise !
« on: 16 October 2013, 12:58:35 pm »
Ok difficuly one here
 
 Mrs Snapper was hit by a  lorry this morning not hard just scrapped the paintwork
but she was on her way to me so we could take the car for its first mot
 but when she arrived at the factory where i work I had had a sh!tty morning and completely forgot to book said MOT
 
 3 days out of date
 
below is her discription of events
 now where do we stand let it slide ? scream and shout  report to the police ?
 
she was driving down to my place of work so that i could follow her to MOT station. She commited herself to driving past a long line of parked cars, nothing was in sight as she committed. After passing 3/4s of them she saw a lorry coming up from other end and pushing forward. pulling as far left as possible she stopped her car. Lorry kept on coming, slowed and then pushed forward inch by inch, not allowing her any chance of trying to rectify situation and reverse back.
Lorry continued, all parking sensors beeping and she heard a small squeak, no bump was felt. The lorry eventually stopped and gave up moving, my wife then reversed cautiously (bearing in mind the parked cars and the lorry that she was squeazed between)
She managed to reverse a way and then went to pull in to a gap in parked cars. The lorry swung onto her side of road and again she waited for it to stop so that she could pull safely into the gap. The lorry then drove past her and off. She then continued her drive to my factory before checking the car over. The car now has a scrape on drivers side rear wheel arch that can only have been caused by the lorry.
Thats all simple enough,report it to police for them to be aware in case lorry driver tries to claim she caused damage
I know it wouldnt effect any insurance claims etc but will she get done for not driving it to an already booked MOT test?
