Don't you just know how irritating mobile phone users are when they fail to exercise discretion and think the world needs to know their business? When you have enjoyed as much as you can stand, you can now get you own back!!! After a busy day he settled down in his train from Waterloo for a nap as far as his destination at Winchester, when the chap sitting near him hauled out his mobile and started up:- "Hi darling it's Peter, I'm on the train - yes, I know it's the 6.30 not the 4.30 but I had a long meeting - no, not with that floozie from the typing pool, with the boss no darling you're the only one in my life - yes, I'm sure, cross my heart" etc., etc. This was still going on at Wimbledon, when the young woman opposite, driven beyond endurance, yelled at the top of her voice, "Hey, Peter, turn that bloody phone off and come back to bed!!"

It aint easy is it , have ya got a ultrasonic to give em a good zap while they are off , i would,

Down by the mackelly,s or whatever it is called grub van then , I often stop for a bacon and egg roll and cup of tea there when i am out for a ride, gotta be done Torrington is pretty central, same as if i go to Bude, Smiffy,s cafe on kings hill cannot be missed, (they are friends and ex neighbours though) Merv

archie parkhouse and ivor brock moving a crippled sheep , most probably my favourite pic of his

yes Drewps not a lot of bike pics really but some real interesting ones of the north devon of the seventies and eighties I know you where in Combe Martin at that time the JR website http://www.jamesravilious.com/gallery.asp Beaford archive http://www.beaford-arts.org.uk/archive/ if you search words in the box it will bring up pictures with that word I:E motorbike will bring motorbike pics, Combe Martin will bring combe martin pics or click the map and choose a location to look at the pics from that area

Back in the seventies and 80,s there was a bloke riding a bike (possibly BSA Bantam) around north devon taking loads of black and white pics, a few of the pics have been digitally archived (about 17000 ) I think and are seachable I found them this morning when looking for a picture of Les Smales bike shop the first of the pics i think is James Raviliouses Bantam with a yoof looking at it in les,s shop 250/400c in it taken at little america bideford in 1978 and someones lovely new suzooki GT250 Ramair ? in Chumleigh 1975 Both of the bikes are no longer around according to the DVLA

DO NOT LICK ROAD SALT!!!!!!!!!, We where warned about this years ago using it on the farm it contains traces of cyanide Merv

Paul read the post mate , he says he cannot find a 12v sealed beam in the correct size and is considering a UK spec unit that takes a bulb, so i consider he is after a uk spec glass and lens, which would be incorrect for countries that drive on the left side of the road ,and suggest a unit for another EU country would be better, so no bulbs do not have angles you are correct, It would appear a lot of seventies yamaha,s in the states had sealed beam headlight which are NLA now, I did once see a article maybe in USA 2 Strokers or the rd club forum where a guy had successfully managed to take the sealed beam unit and cut a hole and araldite in a bulb holder ,

I am thinking you are in the USA ? correct? in which cae the low beam angle will be incorrect. but if you geta unit from another EU country, I:E germany it will be correct

Nice landrover !!!! bike aint bad either

They are still breathing thats all that mattes at my age Drewps :biglaugha:

only filter mod i have done on my honda single is to put in a standard K&N replacement , it is a bit more expensive to start with but is washable so more economical in the long run , but performance it does not give, the race cans do though
