Does anyone play the guitar?
Its a case of making time, like I said earlier you don't need long sessions, just regular, my guitars are kept out on a stand so that they are always to hand, so you can just pick one up, you don't have to plug an electric in either just to practice.

My Bobber project
Mmmm, looking at your wheel and the result you have got I would say you have not got the hub to rim laced correctly, I used to build mountain bike wheels and its so easy to be one hole out and not realise until you go to tighten the whole thing up. Did you take a picky before you took it apart?

Metal sheds etc
Yup condensation, like an oven in the summer, and T leafs with tin openers.... A decent wooden shed on a concrete base with ground anchors probably a better bet.

riding through the winter
I spray the ACF50 into its lid then apply with a brush and rag, more control over where it goes.

Does anyone play the guitar?
An hour a day would be good, but its not easy to find time like that. Personally I found that even 10 minutes a day is better than nothing and I found it more important to practise every day rather than not practising because I couldn't fit in a longer time.

Dickhead at work goes in my bag
Revenge is a dish best served cold. Lose the anger and get cunning. Either rig the bag so you have evidence that he is doing it, or as already said some form of lock to stop it, although ideally the evidence route is the best option so that you can take action against him. If you are within earshot of the bag you can get small movement alarms for garden sheds reasonably cheaply that you may be able to rig up, or you can also get padlocks with a built in alarm.

Splicing heavy duty cables, any ideas?
That would also make a good security device, just take the cables with you when you park.

The countdown to Crimbo has officially started
Yup, sprouts are for life, not just for Christmas

Splicing heavy duty cables, any ideas?
On some of my old classic cars I used metal joiners that had screws that clamped the two ends of the cables, a bit like giant chock block connectors but without the plastic. I think they may have been called armoured cable connectors.

Xv535
I don't mind the Viggies, had a go on one before I got me Star, but as I am 6'1" I found the Star more comfortable.

My troubles are over. Finally I get what I deserve!
Just don't blather any of that ACF50 near the brakes :-)

My Bobber project
Those bolts look like bonnet pins, used to have them on my old Triumph GT6 when I used to do classic car racing.

long textile pants
Yeah I remember seeing that as well, just checked companies house and a new company was formed last year called HEIN GERICKE MOTORCYCLE EQUIPMENT UK LIMITED, so could have been a management buyout or something after they went bust.

tyres on midnightstar
My personal choice with tyres is to always put on the size the bike manufacturers recommend as the bike has been designed from the ground up for those tyres.

WIN! A one day, introduction to off road motorbiking training course at Motoscotland.com!
Looks like it could be good fun, unfortunately for me being mid week and the location, it would cost me more in loss of earnings, travelling and accommodation than the prize is worth.

Spark plug experiment.
Suppose its no real surprise that the temp drops fairly quickly once the throttle is rolled off, no big fiery bangs happening in the combustion chamber so less heat generated, also proves the cooling fins are doing their job.

UK - clocks changing this weekend
Messing with the clocks is just a pain in the arse, can the government come to my house and explain to our dogs what has happened so that they stay asleep for an extra hour, I would imagine people have the same problem with young sprogs. Will take around 3 weeks for them to settle back down to the hours again. And so what its a bit lighter in the morning, just gets darker earlier in the evening so we gain what?

This year's Pumpkin carved
Are you going to blow your death star pumpkin up at the end of your party? Also I can never understand why people go to all the trouble with carving pumpkins just because its my birthday on the 31st

How NOT to Take a Corner
Don't take offence at this but from your other thread where you are popping wheelies and now this, maybe you should slow down a bit until you gain more experience. Yes if you leaned the bike a bit more you may have got round, but you also run the risk of loosing it, it looked like you were just going to fast for that turn. Happy riding.... And as you managed to come out of it ok....

Think a done a good job first time
Looks good, and I can see your airbrush in the first picture. What paint did you use? I have 4 airbrushes that I use for modelling, its surprising what you can achieve with them.
