We really ought to remind him that dressing gown and slippers is really not suitable riding attire too. Also, I think I'd only be doing my duty if I offered to relieve him of one or two of those bikes he's got there - it'll save him a world of confusion

There's more deserving than you out there, Nick!

An' it ain't you!

Maybe, maybe not. Ivanised yellow thou, cough cough cough...

Get it right - Ivanised yellow, black and white thou, with carbon effect speed blocks - faster than a ....er...well, a very fast thing!

(How did you know I've got a cough? $:\$ )

90 miles around North Wales this afternoon, got my bike covered in muck (which covers the scratches from dropping it the other day).

Lead a Ride-out from Wickham Square to the Departure Lounge Cafe on the A339, then up almost to Basingstoke before turning off on the B3046, back down to the A272 and finishing at Loomies.

Fun apart from a sphincter-clenching moment on Spiers Lane when I thought I'd avoided a patch of gravel, but the rear wheel just twitched sideways for a moment!

Oh and the A272 was water-logged in places too

Started the daunting task of removing the downpipes.

Managed to get 2 out of the 8 nuts off without shearing the studs. $:\$

One of them snapped off flush with the block though. Guess i'll not be riding anymore before the weekend.

Not happy.

Oh b0ll0cks mate. I have the same fear. I've got in a new set of studs n nuts to swap out but very reluctant to even look at the originals with fear of em shearing. Let us know how you work a solution which I know you will. Best of luck! a good nights sleep is a good thing when stumped with a problem like that, there is always a way. Hopefully not engine out though. But if it does mean that, oh well when it's fixed n engine back in, happy days.

Went and picked up a Givi E45 Top Box that I won on eBay for £43! Its only 2 years old and is in immaculate condition - glad to have finally picked up a bargain... not so glad about the rain I travelled in when picking it up $:\$

Drained the coolant and took the radiator off the Gen 1 as I plan on giving it a repaint. With that out of the way I gave the engine and manifold a good clean and polish and coated with ACF50. I've ordered a new set of spark plugs as they look easier to get at with the radiator removed. I then got carried away and took the tank off in prep for fitting a new air filter and whilst under there I cleaned all the wires/pipes and electrical connectors

Enjoyed the vid

Lol'd at Clarkson & May - perhaps you'll appear on a future episode of Top Gear...

Actually had some sun and dry roads in Bristol today so decided to screw work and go out for a ride. A nice jaunt up the A420 to Chippenham, up to Malmesbury and back via Didmarton ^^

Nose[edit]
Main article: London NosesOn the inside wall of the northernmost arch is a small protrusion the size and shape of a human nose. It was placed there by artist Rick Buckley in 1997 as part of a campaign against the "Big Brother" society. The nose is at a height of about seven feet, and sits at waist height for anyone riding through the arch on a horse. Prior to Buckley being unmasked by the London Evening Standard, an urban myth grew that the nose is there in honour of the Duke of Wellington, who was known for having a particularly large nose.[8][/font]
