Router etc

Chers John'o. Main problem is that I don't have the necessary key numbers to erm... key in. Can get the TalkTalk network to show on available networks but it won't connect. My old provider - Orange - kindly printed the WEP key on the livebox but it's not on TalkTalk. Looks like I might have to start ...

TalkTalk and wireless

Anyone know how to activate wireless for a TalkTalk connection?

Moved phone and broadband to 'em and now they want to charge me £25 to tell me how to set up a wireless connection. Being a Yorkshireman, paying out more money is just alien to me.

Starting and 'backfire'

Having problems at the moment starting the VTR on a morning. Know it's cold, but not that cold. It 'backfires' too.

Damp maybe? Or something more worrying?

Man goes into a chemists. "Do you have any poison?" "Poison sir? That's a very serious request. Can I ask what you want it for?" "Sorry" says the man, "should have said that I need it to kill rats in my garden". "Ah", replies the chemist, "that's different. Sorry, we don't stock rat poison. Have you ...

Familiar?

A man in a hot air balloon realised he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am." The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon ...

Mmmm, that's what I was afraid of. And knowing how many times one has to stop for that pesky petroleum spirit.....

Bugger! Looks like a seat pack. Already have a superb Kriega US10, so think I'll go for the next model up.

Boring post - tank bag

I've an Oxford Hump-Back tank bag (lucky me!) and wondered if anyone has used similar on their 'storm?

Fitted ok on my Fazer (bless her) even when expanded but not so sure about it now, although I have fitted bar-risers.

Curious 'misfire'

I put 'misfire' in coz I'm not sure if that's what it is...

When idling, the engine seems to clunk and cut-out for a milli-second, almost as if it's putting itself into gear.

Any ideas?
