Re: New acquisition

Great looking motorhome and good work with the security bollard to deter those that would steal from you :thumbup: Happy motoring :D Scarpers off to grab a battery grinder with a nice fresh cutting disc...

New acquisition

I've been out spending a bit more of the kids' inheritance. It's a bit slow; acceleration is more minutes than seconds, and it definitely doesn't like sidewinds. But now I'm a grandfather and retired, it's a slippery slope to the pipe and slippers, I suppose. https://i.postimg.cc/VdJb5dhd/PXL ...

Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build

Using the dishwasher is only permitted when you load the parts correctly, in our house, anyway.
If you try to put discs behind the cutlery tray it's a no-no.

Re: HB Grumpyfrog

Re: front fork rebound damping adjuster

Yep, that caught me out first time I stripped standard ones. Too late now, but making a note of how far in you set the rod as you disassemble is key. The amount of thread you can see with the locknut tightened under the fork cap is what needs to be set; you don't simply screw it in as far as it will ...

Re: Bar risers

I wonder whether someone's replaced the stand head bearings with needle roller ones, but used the standard torque settings?

If you lift the front not end when the bike's in the side stand, do the bars drop to the side easily?

Re: MGP R20 The Final Finally

It's good when the championship goes down to the last race.

Re: And another thing

It's the chimpanzees that I feel sorry for. There simply aren't enough pianos that need shifting any more, so that's the side hustle gone.

And now they can't even make a profitable living filling teabags.

What's to become of them?
