I have a 25 year old Arai and an 8 year old Arai. Both still have the original visors...
Did you un-box them yet?
I do at least 2 visors a year mind you I ride in all weathers and heavy traffic.

I had a snooze in the car while my Wife did some shopping today, and on the way back she stopped by our local salvage shop where I acquired four Bullfinch torches, five clamps, a couple of the good "old" Stanley knives, a level and some anchor bolts.
Weather? ? Good lord no... Might splash out on a new one once I get a decent bike fixed. Seems a bit of a waste for a CD175..Did you un-box them yet?

I found this on the scrap pile today. I initially grabbed it so I could put the larger castors on my welding trolley to make it cope better with the rough concrete floor of the shed, but in the end I am in the process of junking my old trolley (which was made out of two old speaker stands welded together) and using this instead. My bottle is a bit too small for it, so I need to fix it in place. And I'm building a shelf half-way up the other side, so I can put my welding helmet and gloves in it. Oh, and perhaps I'll find a bit of worktop to go on the top, just so I can pile stuff on it and make it (a) top heavy and (b) a bit too heavy to move around the shed.

thursday I acquired
a pair of record marples speed clamps , or is that cramps ? they'd been up a while on market place for £70 and I made an offer of £50 and got them . Not bad really considering the price new
they'll clamp up just over a metre and 120mm deep.
there's a name for that type of handle on the screw which escapes me anyone know what it is ?

That's a nice bit of kit, does it pump fluid and suck it back?
I once visited a supplier machining a 15ton fabrication for us - they were in an old mill. Further down the shop under a lower ceiling was a taller machine . . . the motor poked up into a hole in the ceiling. On the guided tour of the place, in the middle of the office floor upstairs was a large up-turned bucket . . .
Office staff knew when that machine was working hard . . .
No but it tends to be a lot less hectic when you do it at walking pace.Is the tarmac softer when you fall off a crap bike?

How can you fall of a bike, when you are pushing it along?

Had a walk round a local bootsale today, Brought a few bits home!
I bought eight clamps with around an 8" opening for a quid each!
Also dropped on this hefty Samurai book for a couple of quid, Just looked on Amazon, Cheapest is £231
Also picked up a couple of other bits, A small telescope, Parker pen refills and a watch that is as dead as a dodo!!

A sore knee, twisted it when turning. Yesterday actually, not too bad this morning but the 'preservative on the man-cave' must get done. Looks like it's going to need another coat to be right. 
Slow & steady though.....
Also, the grass desperately needs cutting - think I'll leave that until early evening, it's bound to be dry by then after the heavy dew.

I think so. In hindsight I should of gone to £150 from the start.
