What you going to use it for?View attachment 48463 Courier just arrived with a little package from Tony!
I don’t think local mechanics will be worrying about a loss of trade just yet, but they should be worried
Thank you, Tony. Very much appreciated
Door stop?
Put under that wobbly leg on your kitchen table??
Bring it on Big BoySmacking you around the head with sounds like a good start!
Pow-Lo, I don't know what has gone wrong but while I can see the picture of your lovely workshop manual your boobies image will not show.
Can you just check what format you have loaded as it is very distressing for me. I could see the old image (lovely) and now I'm missing out.

Beaker put Pow-Lo’s boobies back
YES, I can see the boobs
Mind you it might be the MoD system that blocks them, I’ll have to wait until tomorrow and check

Surprised you can access this site at all if you are MoD - absolutely wouldn't have been able to in my commercial environmentYES, I can see the boobs

That’s because you’ve had your fat carcass on it and comfort brake everywhere......MOT tech said the back brakes were on the way out and will need doing soon (baldy)
It is complicated, I have 4 access platforms and although they all go through an RLI security system the lowest level system has to allow me access to the internet. Once on the internet there are restricted catagories and sites but as long as the site does not trip the system I can get on.
And on that note it is my work system that filters out Po-Lo's boobies
You can lean the bike over on it. You can brake on it but never do the two at the same time on it.
Yeah you can, I trail brake all the time, cant do it on a bike with linked brakes though !
Comfort braking! It's that habit that scared the shit out of bikers when riding in Wales on SMA. You can lean the bike over on it. You can brake on it but never do the two at the same time on it.
You say that Slim but in theory there is a delay in the linked brake system so you should be able to do it as long as it is a shortish dab........... now where will we find someone stupid to test thisYeah you can, I trail brake all the time, cant do it on a bike with linked brakes though !
now where will we find someone stupid to test this
You already found the man
A dab doesn't do a lot as long as its a light one for a second or less, lightly trailing the rear deep into a bend just sits the bike up with linked brakes & is definitely not recommended
Don't talk to me about back brakes. Couple of years ago I took my bird to a P&D motorcycle for an MOT and they failed it on the back break. Took it away disassembled the caliper, gave it a deep clean and fitted new pads. It still failed. They said it was probably this bit ere that had failed and would cost a fortune to replace. Spoke to John about de-linking the brakes and he went off on one about incompetent arseholes. The upshot of which was, I took the bike to a different garage (Jumbo Breakers) and they passed it with flying colours. They even offered to back me for a complaint against P&D to VOSA though I couldn't be arsed with all the hassle. Needless to say, I've not set foot in P&D since.MOT tech said the back brakes were on the way out and will need doing soon (baldy)
