Music

The only time I've tried listening to music was while blasting across Wales and England to make a ferry to Holland. Wind noise made it impossible to hear anything :cry:

I'm off my header!!!

When doing some recent front cylinder work I managed to shear off both header bolts down to about a half inch. Wasn't actually my fault as they were corroded to bits and even though I'd doused 'em liberally with WD, they just shat it when I tried(gently) to loosen them up. Tried heating up the remai...
