When I used to work in a factory, every Friday I took my 550four and my mate took his CM200 over to some waste ground,  removed the sump plugs, dumped the oil and put fresh oil in meant for the fork lift trucks.  Happy days.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

Worked nights for best part of 25 years now mate but had to stay up to argue with HMRC as they pissed about with my tax codes for no reason---even admitted they could not understand why. As to the "new" phone system---lets go back to carrier pidgeons!! As a hint to all on here if you need to get through the garbage tell it you have a coding notice problem, seems quickest way to a human

Not yet Trigger but I have backed off a bit on the looking stakes.
I will be having some surgery on a prolapsed disc end of March so just biding my time until then unless anything really interesting crops up.
Did bid on a Kawasaki S1C but wasn't paying over the odds, the guy with the F2 never came back.
