Corrected for ya. If you're going to be The Gimp then you'd best start acting like it.
You will never reach from there.

So the trike project has arrived and after completing an initial inspection I have order/purchased the following:
Fork seal kit for FZ 750
Head-stock bearings FZ 750
Handbrake - Hyundai
Handbrake cable - Morris Minor
Spray paint - filler primer
wheel hub stud - Reliant
Wheel nuts - Austin mini
wire brushes for the drill
18mm slim spark plug socket
BMW k1300 rear brake master cylinder
Pair of gas rear shocks
various BMW k100 switches
Various badges to replace the BMW ones.
So that lot should keep me busy for a couple of days, not to mention the postman.

5 bags of building sand. Which is a pain as I only wanted two but that is the minimum order from Travis Perkins.
If anyone is about to say 'should have gone to b&q' my answer will be 'I have bought sand from them twice before, never again'.

Yup, like almost everything they sell it is either cheap and nasty, does not work, or not fit for purpose in some other way
I have had light switches with bits missing, hose lock parts that neither hosed or locked, paint that had bits of goodness knows what in, LED flood light bulbs that lasted less than an hour battery tools that the battery lasted less than 3 months in ( returned and they said I had used it too much.. )
Asked to see where 'only for limited use' was printed.. they then offered a replacement, I said fine as long as the warranty starts over.. Nope..
Well a refund it will have to be
Of course that was refused.. Manager came, he said they would have to test it.. I said fine, I will return in one hour.. He said it would take two to three weeks as he was not qualified..
I asked 'not qualified to know if a battery goes flat within a minute?'
He got shirty..
And it was about then that I asked if he would like the whole conversation played back to him ?
5 minuted later walked out of B&Q with a full refund
Yes indeed, Johnny Cash would be proud of this one - bike of a thousand bits.Johnny Cash comes to mind again
Where's the pictures
I've tried to put some pictures in the 'Owners Bikes' thread because I could not find a thread 'Owners pieces of shit'
Johnny cash is what hopeful teenagers have in their pockets.
A mortar gun. Sometimes it's worth price checking rather than just buying from screwfix....
Maybe a new golf bag later. You'll just have to wait and see on that.

A new water pump although I’ve not seen it yet, mate’s bringing it over from Worksop, looking forward to having hot water again.
Definitely the pump then??
Be VERY careful how you set it up.
Do not let the feed nozzles touch either the chain of the sprocket .
If you do, first time you have cause to wheel the bike backwards the nozzles will mangle ...
Back in the day we had several cases of this.. The nozzles were not noticed gone for some time so everyone thought they were just dropping
Was ages before it was sussed ! Scottoiler did a roaring trade in the black feed pipe ! Folk were buying it by the metre !!
When you think about it it makes no sense, but it did happen... and often !
A very large plant pot
Two plants
A packet of plant supports
Two bottles of seaweed based fertiliser
A bag of potting grit
Bit of a bummer going to the garden centre when you can't have a coffee and slice of cake.

You have to use the term 'achromatic dark colour' from know on and it's a backdrop..not background...
Just saying like.
Bought a used Air Arms s400 superlight + pellets & a new Crossman Rat catcher + Co2 for the little one to play with ………… not the cheapest shopping trip I have ever had
It doesn't end there still in need of gun bags or cases to suit & a silencer for the rat catcher
On the plus side the little un is already hitting dead center of a lump of wood set up as an impromptu target from 15yds over open sights .………… give it a few days & sh can deal with those damn magpies
