At least yours has got a light. Mine just has a viewing hole. Easily done though.

I'm still waiting for my 2011 one.

Oh yes! That's why we love them.

The scary light.

2 stroke oil light (for the 2 stroke oil), not a gearbox oil light?

Difficult for me. I have multi personality disorder so none of me can agree anything. Yes we can! We do sometimes! ................................................................................................... Told you so!

19 to 21 on this scale?

Looks about spot on to me. I wouldn't want to lean that up anymore and would take into account the quality of the 2 stroke oils now compared to when these bikes were built.

These are "must's" Domain name - as previously mentioned. About £40 a year. Try pixel Internet and go for Linux hosting. Personal indemnity, public liability and traders insurance - first 2 can be brought via the web, not sure about the last one. Look at the impact of where you are trading - if you are using your home then there may be mortgage, business rates and capital gains tax implications. Hiring a lock up may help here. Business address - if you are trading as a business you need to have your address on your site and paperwork. You can get a post office box number or use a company that will forward your mail. Tax - you need to register and pay tax. An accountant may be required for your returns. Sole trader or limited liability - you should have a separate bank account for the business. You can be a sole trader and would be "you" trading as "whatever you want". Benefits are that it is easy and you don't have to submit returns to companies house. Downside is that if you get sued they can take everything you have. Limited liability means that you have to submit returns to companies house or risk fines and being struck off. Easy to set up and this limits any action to what the "company" owns except if you are fraudulent and your dealings with companies house. No need for a company secretary any more. Vat - 2 basic types. Normal means that you don't pay vat or claim it back and you charge vat. At the end of a quarter you calculate how much you paid and how much you took and pay the difference. You really need an accountant to do this for you and you need to keep all receipts. The second is flat rate. You register online and, depending on what category your business is, you pay a flat percentage of vat. You don't get anything vat free as such but it is a lot easier and you can make a few extra quid. The flat free scheme is limited to about £150k or so a year I think but this may have gone up. You pay your vat each quarter online and it is easy to do. That will do as a start I think. This is from experience with both owning a limited company and being vat registered. I also have a domain name etc.

It was when I left home this morning from there. In a different county now for work.

I think I must have missed the important part, unless it was de-mounting the bike to the right.

The fragile gearbox and it jumping out of second gear.

Pinned.

Always the rear first for me.

I someone has something to say. Just let me know.

Workshop post not posted in the right section. Topic locked.

Fags, phone, card of some description and recovery cover. I have used the tyre sealer many years ago and it seemed to be ok. Messy when tyre comes off though. I think that you can't use the mushroom repairs on at least some tyres, if not all. Something about the speed rating I think but I am not sure.

".....what happens next......" Not sure if it is me but the video is titled "tree falls onto motorcyclist". Using my super tuned powers of deduction I learnt from reading a lot of Sherlock Holmes books I am going to guess that.…................... Some old driver pulls out in front of the bike. Off to watch the video now before my whole morning is taken up by mandatory training. Sigh.
