Just sold a 12’ Henchman for £150.00 as seem to use the cherry picker in preference. One thing I did notice was the poor quality of the paint and it coming away in big flakes. Also the chrome was rusting in spite of it being stored in a shed. On the upside it was very easy to move single handedly on the attached wheels.

Yellow issues at the moment, but hoping to even it up by selling the Daytona when I pick up another red bike in a week or so

Took a chance on a non working R1150 R a few weeks ago that the owner was sick of and not willing to spend more money on it. Inoperative clutch in spite of a new slave cylinder and complete clutch kit. Wouldn’t start and some of the four throttle cables were frayed. A second hand switch, cables, a master cylinder repair kit and a full service got me another serviceable bike

Since I hadn’t been using my rifles anything like I used to in a previous life I sent them and the ammo to auction to save the hassle of a FAC renewal. Even a shotgun cert and the recent Scottish wanky air rifle cert is enough these days. I’d had a FAC for 46 years, but it’s during the last 10 or 15 I’ve seen a change in our Police Firearm Officer’s attitude towards holders, which is probably no bad thing with the unpredictability of people.

Some of our land is as valuable and invested in as land in England. We have a few acres and the right to roam isn’t an issue at all. People wanting to walk don’t generally leave rubbish around. It’s the pricks in cars that discard their junk on the roadside that are the ones needing a good kicking.

If a pressure washer removes it, it’ll need totally removed (prior to further prep) or for you to live with it.

And commercials cost more to insure.

It’s possible the most recent re-spray is poorly applied, un-keyed or incompatible with your intended future respray. Seek a trusted re-finisher’s advice. Even if you intend to do the work yourself as it will only cost the price of a beer. Ex Panelbeater/ refinisher [emoji1303]

Think this is the likeliest scenario. People are pretty ingenious. Especially if they know where the cameras are situated and when opportunities are available. Supposedly it’s the fuel supplier that adds the dye to the product so there shouldn’t be an octane issue giving differing mpg between dyed and undyed.

I’ve used the pictured plug kits for a number of years without issues but have always used additional rubber solution on the repair strings. However, I’d always prefer to use the mushroom type plugs from the inside of the tyre wall for peace of mind.

Had tuning boxes on both of our softroading TDI Tiguans for about 2 years. Both have done over 30,000 miles with the boxes fitted. Both give more torque, and the later engine gives a noticeable lift in performance at higher rpm. The older car is noticeably more torquey than the newer engines car. The newer car which had 150 BHP as standard is now a flying machine at higher rpm. We do bigger annual mileages than 12 k and if trying we can get 50mpg from both cars on a 20 + mile trip. We’ve seen no reduction in mpg through tank top ups and calculations against litres/miles done if you ride the torque and keep the revs down. If you hammer them, or tow to the weight limit the mileage can drop to around 37mpg. Personally I’m a fan of tuning boxes and had one on my 2 litre Audi a few years ago without issues, and did over 75,000 miles with it fitted. I also have a remapped diesel Mercedes which is great but cost several hundred pounds against the boxes at £70 apiece.

Ours has been up 6 years without issues. I did build up the plinth slightly and grade the sides away from the lower woodwork
