  8. Trip to tip. To dump several chains and sprockets, 4 old batteries from 916, 2 fuel cans full of old oil. Old 1198 radiator (holed), and lots of packaging for spares. All of which was cluttering my garage.
     
  9. “I’ll keep these…never know when they might come in useful…”
    Been there, doing it still!

  11. They were but if I itemised everything that would be weird.

    Belts, spark plugs, brake pads were included by a big yellow sainsbury's tray full.

  13. Didn’t realise it but this attitude came in useful just now.
    Went for a ride on my bicycle and noticed the rear caliper was rattling - when I got home one of the mounting bolts had fallen out and the other was stripped.
    Bolts are M4 x 45.
    Couldn’t find any in my proper motorbike stash so was going to bodge it with tie wraps…
    Then I remembered I had kept a flat screen tv wall mount box as it had loads of alternative fixings in it for different tellys etc.
    Bingo! Little baggy with 4 M4 x 60 bolts in it! 2 mins with the hacksaw - sorted.

  14. Had a ride cross country to Brighton. Witnessed a deliveroo cyclist get run over by a car (in the rear mirror). He was riding like a twat, when I went past I sensed something would happen. All the cars stopped, so there were plenty of witnesses to give statements, so I carried on.
     
  15. Sorted out my bolts.

  16. Met @cookster, @iamme @brettski and his Mrs at OYB. Interesting to see the stock levels in new bikes. A very nice low mileage gsxr1000 2021 which got my juices flowing.
    Avoided stupid deer, gravel on corners and other hazards on a brisk ride there and back.
    Coffee on me next time S. Thank you.
