What have you done with your bike/s today?

Better put an extra layer of duck wax on Emily mate, and a high level exhaust and air intake - just seen the weekend forecast for south Wales.

May the Weather Gods be kind to Emily's paint and polish, and to your own good self GB. You'll be OK - it never rains in Wales.
(Just pours it down!)

Cheers m'dear!

I take it the promise of no rain is a legally binding contract 😁

I'm going to Wales this weekend, but up the other end, and in the car.
Take pictures and post them here if you will please GB.

Sos mate.  Maybe better to whip the motor out and put it in a skiff!  Or turn it into one of those 'motorcycle boats' I've heard so much about.  Or give Noah a call, he might have room for one more??

All helpful suggestions, I trust.

The pictures being of a despondent GB and his bike in a RNLI boat, presumably

hopefully a couple of shots of the Panther rally i camped at last weekend. There was a small ride out on the Fri eve as in these photos, much bigger one on the Sat with about 40 beasts. Great venue, great bikes good company. All being well i will be with GB on Sat at the Wales BSAOC rally. The main thing being I WILL NOT BE IN A TENT! That's assuming the curse has lifted and my front forks have not collapsed.

I'm told duct tape helps keep water out of your wellies. Whatever floats your boat - or bike in this case .........

Quick question:  the terminal nut on my plugs keep coming loose.  The caps are the type that fit over the nut and not on the threads.  Spark plug manufacturers can offer removable, solid or no cap.  Does anyone know if the code for B6HS changes if you have a solid nut, or do you simply have to look around or specify a solid nut????

Tighten them tight with pliers.

i didn't go to the pub,  i took urma the yonda for the m.o.t and she passed. urma is miss firing above 5000rpm and i suspect it is electrikery problems. when i got home after a good blast about i noticed the rear wheel off side bearing retainer had come undone investigation needed later i got betsy out and we went to a local BIKE night there was about 7 bikes and 30 scoo - mod mobiles, myself and betsy didn't stay long and when i got home i had a hot bath and bacon sarnies. thankyou for listening.

I fired this lot off to TT Industries for my new 5 speed, basically they do an option with both Kickstart and Speedo drive but you have to supply them the parts, also got my BNR belt drive kit and Alton a little while back

[Worty]

Now that's a night out Berger

Tightened terminal cap with pliers, still comes undone.  I've now put a couple of tiny spring washers under them and tightened solidly - let's see.  I did consider thread locker, but understand that this can act as an insulator.  The only other things I can think of is a spot of solder on top, mash the threads of the plug and sort of 'cross thread' the cap on, or find a strand of copper wire, wrap it round the threads and force the cap on.

wot about some resistor-free NGK plug caps - that go straight onto the threaded bit?
They're the only ones I use, and they stay put. They also have grommety sleeves on lead-to-cap and cap to plug body.
And,  . .   as they are rigid it's impossible for the screw to 'miss' the HT cable core when you fit them. Which happens a lot with those soft rubbery ones if that's what you've got.
Cheap enough, and much easier than mashing solder, cross-threading on purpose or whatever?
Or do they lack 'the look'?

I also use those caps.
