Today I acquired...........

[JEZGUZ]

My doc prescribes me 300mg Co-Codamol in packs of 100, easy enough to trawl supermarkets and chemists for a day to get enough to do yourself in with. But as already stated it takes a long time and apparently not a nice way to go.

 

[Dr.Al]

That is not a planer, strictly speaking it is a Jointer. I wouldn't have said NO either.

I would have called it a surface planer. I'm pretty sure that "jointer" was just the american name for a surface planer (and "planer" is the american name for a thicknesser).

 

[Bravheart]

The price was a no brainer. Not sure what it’s like there but pickups have gone stupid here. Mate paid £12k for a 10 plate one the week before I agreed on that one.

Yes but just wait till the tickets for the double yellows start dropping through the letterbox

That's my understanding as well.

After paracetamol was put in blister packs, the number of deaths from paracetamol poisoning fell by 21%.

You still only need 25 to be fatal, but it takes two or three days. A long time to reconsider.

Is that all? I'd have thought a few more than that. I bet it's a slow and painful death.

One of the saddest things about it is that people get rushed to hospital, get their stomach pumped etc and then feel fine, sitting up in bed and apologizing for causing all the fuss and being silly, and thinking they've learned their lesson. While everyone else knows that they won't be going home, and will very soon be dead. :-(

It is.
Nowt they can do.
Worse if it is mixed with sleeping pills and a rum.

Get the doies wrong and you throw up all the contents of your stomach, empty your bowls and bladder.

Some nice welding sticks I did have to dive deep into the skip though.

thought they might be pipe fitters choice root pass with those cap with the fincord maybe

 

[Brad93]

They're cellulosic.

Yep for pipe work normally

After FedEx misplacing the first set the second ones arrived at my Honda dealer today.

They come with kits so you can key to your ignition key.

Both done and loads left over, not much use though

Fitted on bike

2 seconds to fit or remove, just turn the key, lift the latch and lift off and it leaves the bike stock, no frame or anything else except small rubber end cap on the pillion footpeg carrier.

And full face helmet fits in with ease, even with the peak.

 

[Munkul]

That's slick indeed.

 

[roblane65]

well at least ya leg won't get trapped when ya fall over on the bike

 

[Pete.]

Looks great!

Needs chevrons

 

[Hood]

It isn't any wider than the bars

 

[RichardM]

It isn't any wider than the bars

That's good for when filtering

 

[Rannsachair]

Service kit and new sump gasket arrived today:

Am feeling fit enough to ride, so roll on some decent weather.

 

[Pete.]

It isn't any wider than the bars

Wide loads have wing mirrors too y'know

Seriously though it looks like it's got the makings of a good touring machine. Only reason I don't buy that style of bike is because the bar mirrors are the same height as your average builder's van's mirrors. Since most of my riding is filtering in heavy traffic I'd spend more time either stopped or trying to wiggle past motors without clattering mirrors than actually moving. My R1100s mirrors just clear under most van mirrors and over most cars. SUV's excepted.

A few years ago when the Charlie&Ewan fans all bought themselves BMW GS's they were a royal PITA to get stuck behind on the morning commute.

Filtering? What is that? Oh that thing when you run between rows of cars, we don't have that many cars in one place up this way

With all the technological dodads available today, I'm surprised some bike's don't have rear view cameras and a monitor screen on them; or do they ?
