My Father bought a pair of S8's, he only wanted a gearbox for his Wooler engine! He rode one regularly in the late 70's ansd I did many miles on the back.

For a 65yr old British bike it rides very well, I rode it around locally today for over 40miles, I’m getting used to its idiosyncrasies, foot controls still need muscle memory training

Surprised in the turn if speed, lack of vibration, and comfort. Hopefully I’m going to enjoy riding this bike

Well, technically a couple of days ago, but with a mate being here I've not had a chance to post.

Big thanks to @Parm for sending me a piece of rubberised fabric for making soft 'feet' for the bases of my clocks and other 'project' items to protect buyers' furniture, desks etc. To date I've been using self adhesive felt which was fine if the base(s) were dead flat, but some weren't by their very nature.

This'll mean I'll be able to punch circles of any size and stick then on in 3s to allow for any inclination to 'rock'.

The piece Parm sent will be enough for hundreds I reckon, so all good for quite a while!

[dobbslc]

Same as me I'm after a meter that can test caps.

 

[angellonewolf]

^^^ im chatting to a guy at the moment has got one for sale but its an older one and the new ones are not expensive for what hes asking so seeing if hes not sold it if he would come down to a more of a better price that my wallet likes

Even I would consider that a bit excessive, and I have 6 x angle grinders.

Iv got 4 and thought that was too many

Who’s got the record for hammers?

You're just an amateur.....

My initial thought was @The_Yellow_Ardvark , but I do know he gives a lot away - beyond him I have no clue...

 

[angellonewolf]

[stuvy]
