  1. Oh, designed my electric cable logo - had to be single colour to be printed on to heat shrink - not sure about the DUCATI bit, might leave it off and just go with the logo only... it will only be 10mm high so needed to be simple to show clearly enough.

  2. Working with social services to get my sister's maisonette deep cleaned in preparation for her to come home. She is a hoarder at the extreme end of the scale and we have been suited and face masked up for most of the day. Had a moment late this afternoon as I was moving "stuff" around when I found the corn snake my sister mislaid about 5 months ago. Bloody thing gave me a turn as I was not expecting it. Never seen a corn snake quite so big and my he was pissed off, vibrated his tail on the table top and tried to slither away at a great rate of knots. Managed to get him boxed and decide to board him at the local reptile shop. Had a little chuckle when I took him to the shop because even the staff were taken aback by the size of him. Quite a hard day so now going to chill with Carole and a takeaway and beer. Hope everyone enjoys their respective evenings. Andy

  4. That would get you two, I think. And my £81m would get me an E-type, and a castle somewhere as well.

  9. I like the Y anchor, that would certainly stop you tripping over a surface mounted ground anchor. Does it fill up when it rains though [emoji299]️
     
  10. It shouldn't do; it's got a drain hole in the bottom of the "v" and the shaft is open at the bottom. They recommend putting a layer of gravel in the bottom to help drainage.
     
  11. I have done similar but the little bastards with battery angle grinders will be through the chain in seconds:punch:
     

  12. Is it for sale?
     
  13. Naaaaah. Got the world's biggest f*ck-off hardened chain. If they REALLY want it, they'll always get it, but even with serious kit it's still a few minutes work and it won't be silent!!
     
  14. Arundel. Privately owned I think so they'll just need a bit of 'persuading' [emoji206][emoji380]
     
  15. Youngsters will target light bikes and organised gangs will take anything..battery grinders will do any chain in seconds and quietly ..
    Four big guys with bars through the wheels and lifting into a van is the most used method..
    Think loud alarm and security lighting and a car or other obstacles between bike and get away van!
    CCTV and data tag puts them off too!
     
  16. Chain these to the bike.

  17. They broke a wall down to get my KTM 990 SMR. If they know they'll be quick the noise won't bother them. Then they just lifted it into a van. I'm fastidious with security now. Garage, ground anchor, chain, cctv, immobiliser & tracker.

    The goal is to just make them not want to bother trying yours.

  18. Pilates at 9am, followed by leisurely breakfast. Then ran around doing housework etc. Out on the 749, down to Street and looped back via chedder Gorge, most day trippers had gone by this time so an uninterrupted ride up the gorge. Home, BBQ, walked dog now sitting In Front of the fire...don't you just love this June's temperatures!!!

  20. Heatwave. It's about 32 degrees again. Didn't even consider pulling on the leathers. Too hot for gardening. Had a sardine barbie this eve. Now it is pretending to rain but the garden needs a lot more than this second rate effort. Sprinkler in the veg patch tomorrow morning I think.
