  2. You probably are this good already...
    But just in case.
    remember to have the wife fly through somewhere with the 14 day quarantine...
    Then the GF will have enough time to clean and make you look good for when the wife gets back :)
     
  3. Wife lives in the Czech Republic, will tidy then fly home, GF then flys in from Lithuania to a nice tidy house :eyes:

  7. I've just heard that an old friend and ex next door neighbour of mine sadly passed away last night from cancer.

    She was a lovely lady, attractive, full of fun and only 59yo. So sad :(

  8. My ex wife died several weeks ago, quite young, we never spoke in years, but we had 2 great kids. Only my son and daughter attended the funeral. Must have been hard for them. From experience, you do seem to grow up very quickly when your parents leave. My son and I havnt spoke in years, I know he's doing well, but I really need to find out why we stopped talking. We didn't have a massive argument or anything like that, seemed to just drift apart. I take the blame for not making an effort, but maybe the best thing is just leave things the way they are, who knows.

  10. As portboy said reach out to your kids. It's never too late to build bridges and I'm sure they'd appreciate the support

  12. Spent all day at work trying to catch up. Been mental busy but finally got another Project Engineer starting for me on Monday so that should start to bring the workload down a bit.
    Might nip out on the bike tomorrow if it stays dry.

  13. Put down a deposit on a new bike. An orange Icon. SWMBO wouldn't agree to a monster, thinks they are ugly and frankly for what I want the Scrambler is more than capable. It's the only one they have at the moment and it is in Saigon so it will be shipped should be here Thursday or Friday. :D Can't wait.

  16. Buy yourself an Air Hawk or Wild Ass air cushion, even the latest generation seat is like riding a telegraph pole. The bike itself is an absolute hoot to ride when you give it some revs, even for an 18 stone lard arse like me :upyeah: Andy

  17. Decided to clean the carb in readiness to strip it down and refurb the gaskets, jets etc. Used STP carb cleaner, brilliant stuff.

    took about half hour to get it cleaned off, it’s been in the car for 50 years and had to change the tank a few weeks ago as it was riddled with pinholes.

    Before and after pics lol

  20. I keep looking for a low priced 748/916 the reason being I have a 916sp engine in my 748 sps
    While looking I have seen the prices of 748sps's and so today I have decided I will be returning the 748 back to standard
    I will still be searching for something so I can build a bike around the SP engine
