  6. No, sorry. This was on the Multistrada, a socket for accessories.
    Earlier bikes won't have them.
    You'll need to find a + ve and -ve that are only live after the ignition is on.

  10. No, but I’m sure someone somewhere would be offended by him !

    Freddie Gilroy and the Belsen Stragglers' is a giant steel structure made by Ray Lonsdale, an artist, fabricator and sculptor and is now on permanent display, thanks to the generosity of a local Scarborough resident.

    The sculpture is based on a retired miner Ray became friends with who turned out to also be one of the first soldiers to relieve the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp at the end of World War II.

    This piece of art is not just about Freddie Gilroy but represents all the normal people that were pulled out of an ordinary life and forced into a very extraordinary and dangerous one during the World Wars.

    Ray Lonsdale, sculptor from County Durham said:

    "Scarborough is a unique town and I am pleased that my 'Freddie Gilroy and the Belsen Stragglers' will be on show there for residents and visitors alike to look at and enjoy. This piece is almost a war memorial as it depicts the lives of all those who suffered during the World Wars".

    "I hope that people get enjoyment from my sculptures but also reflect on the sensitivity and emotion which I have tried to convey through my work."

    The sculpture is located near to the Oasis Cafe on Scarborough's North Bay.

  12. I have had to have a lie down.
    Plumber arrived to fit new bathroom and need to store some stuff in the garage.
    I said I would move the bikes around to make some more space.
    My wife, of 30 years who hates bikes pipes up, “why don’t you put one in the study for now?” Shocked, stunned and not a little amazed. Think she is a keeper.
    Oh, and this little beauty arrived this am too:-

  20. You can get temporary filler stuff at the chemist. Might be better than accidently swallowing your crown should it come off again?
