I'd never heard of Dropbox until we had our house fire.

The firm who cleared our house of all it's contents took photos of everything that was in the house including individual items of clothing to a climate controlled  storage facility. All the photographs plus the manual records were on their drop box site that we were given access to for our home whilst we dealt with our insurance claim.

I briefly had my own free drop box account to copy & store the photos until our claim was settled.

The firm (appointed by our independant loss assesors) mainly dealt with flood damaged property as well as serious house fire victims. They were a brilliant firm owned by a local businessman.

Should anyone here be unfortunate enough to have a serious house fire I would highly recommend you appoint an independent loss assessor (LA) they basically take away all the pain of dealing with a house insurance company for a large claim. (Ours was around £190k plus VAT  for buiding & contents)

The Fire Service (FS) Incident Commander (who Wendy use to work with before he joined the FS) gave us advice about seeking our own LA . It was one of the best pieces of free advice I have ever been given. We were inundated with calls from a variety of firms to act as our LA. The Incident Commander gave us a business card for a Birmingham Based Charity who in turn pointed us in the right direction for appointing our own LA.

Not as impactive for me but I had a similar issue with my free Flickr account due to a combination of loosing my old ntlworld email address and password.

In the end I gave up and opened a new account using my  new email address - lost a load of photos forever.

The worst oil smell I've experienced has been with car diff oil.

Iirc a suitable sized brush stale has been used by members in the past to prevent the rotation. I believe it's inserted down the fork leg to jam the inside part. Never had to do it myself so you might find it via the search facility.

I assume you have removed the spring.

I had some new tools from Wendy for my recent birthday - undecided between Metric & Imperial so she went for the safe option.

Edible ones!

Nice one, dead jealous but hopefully on the way back to getting out on the bike, left thumb joint replace, now some rehab and then the throttle hand later in the year.

Yikes Dennis - hope the operation is a 100% success.

I'm going to dismantle the points plate to clean it up. Ken is sending me some proper screws to replace the Allen Key Headed ones to prevent overtightening.

I agree David the main three back plate screws are pretty central. It the CB ones that are at the extreme end, I will see if there is a make on them when I strip down the plate.

So far nobody knows. Why did you choose 'R' plugs?

I have no idea, I can't remember when I bought them either.

I do have a set of Denso X22ES-U plugs.

I think my bike had  NGK D7EA fitted .
