Sesman mentioned it on here a while ago and made a mental note to use where applicable. It tickled me at the time ;D its' so apt. You're such a hip, 'trend setter' ken ;) ;D

When Ken visited me in-between lockdowns he didn't look much like this  ;D ;D

Not even close.

No tattoos.
No beard
No hair
No glasses
I had socks on.

I do have a dog but it's a pedigree.
I also have a collection of vinyl records but they are in a box in the loft.

Other than that, yep you got me spot on.

Here's our little Tilly.

She's on the left along with Ruby on the right. 4 years apart and came from different breeders from different parts of the country. They look like Mother and Daughter.

Sadly Ruby passed away last year, leaving Tilly completely heart broken, still hasn't got over it, just mopes about the house now looking lost.

Only difference 500 to 550 is the clutch cover gasket and that can be got seperate
Every 500 gasket set I've bought included the pontefract cakes/pucks, every 550 didn't.

What on earth? Is that from same manufacturers? For instance would a Vesrah gasket set for the 500 have them.

A genuine Honda set doesn't come with them. I never buy any other type.

Only have a 500 and 550 NE brand at present. But have had other brands years ago, but not sure on Vesrah.
