A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the “Chicken Surprise”... the waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot.
Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down.
“Good grief, did you see that?” she asks her husband. He hadn't, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking around before it slams down. Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening, and demands an explanation.
“Please sir,” says the waiter, “what you order?”
The husband replies, “Chicken Surprise”.
“Ah! So solly,” says the waiter, “I bring you Peeking Duck by mistake.

Well as there seems to be no shortage of 400 fours I thought I would join in and acquired this on Thurs. What a cracking little bike it is to ride. Uncomfortable at the moment, well downright painful due to needing a new hip which hopefully will be done just after Christmas, but I really do like it. I bought it untried and no mot, took it on Sat for test and it sailed through and rode fine. Lorraine went to Sherburn in Elmet on Sunday on it got there no problems. Coming back it started in the carpark fine but after about 400yds spluttered to as stop. Eventually got it started again and this was repeated time and time again until after about 10mls it decided to sort itself out and came home the remaining 15mls no bother. My thoughts are after draining the tank an looking at the snow white plugs are even though it has a manual fuel tap it is also a vac operated diaphragm valve on as well. I think the diaphragm valve must have been stuck starving it of fuel. Pulled in bits and put back together as it was spotless. I have done 60mls on it today stopping every mile or so and turning off the engine so the vale would operate and it has been faultless. Anyone any other thoughts as it is going on the back of the van on Weds for a few days away.

Puig Universal screen before modification. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
After. Just requires reshaping the bottom a little and new holes drilling. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
As you can see it nicely clears the trip knob and it does rest against the clocks, I've just put a little stick on foam rubber between to stop any marking of screen or clocks. It works well.

Has anyone got a tried and tested method of tightening the ball joint on the mirror end. Mine seems to want to adjust itself over 90mph.

A few weeks ago I was at the first meeting of a Motorhome Club Motorcycle group and on the ride out met a elderly chap from South Wales. He asked if mine was a F1 as he had bought one new and had it put into a Seeley frame along with Lester wheels. He still had the original F1 wheels that he had put in his loft over 40 years ago. Today I met him at Ferrybrige Services on his way to Scotland and bought them. Amazing at times what turns up unexpectedly. The front wheel is equally as good. It will now be getting a change of wheels. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

I took the exhaust off today to give it a spring clean and lo and behold what I found. Things just don't seem to last these days its only 42 years old. It looks like I will have to give it a bit of refurbishment as the rest is still quite good. I was surprised to find there is no part number for the exhaust seal between collector and silencer.

Politically Correct Nelson at Trafalgar
Nelson: "Order the signal, Hardy."
Hardy: "Aye, aye sir."
Nelson: "Hold on, that's not what I dictated to Flags. What's the meaning of this?"
Hardy: "Sorry sir?"
Nelson (reading aloud): "'England expects every person to do his or her duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability.' - What gobbledegook is this?"
Hardy: "Admiralty policy, I'm afraid, sir. We're an equal opportunities employer now. We had the
devil's own job getting 'England' past the censors, lest it be considered racist."
Nelson: "Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco."
Hardy: "Sorry sir. All naval vessels have now been designated smoke-free working environments."
Nelson: "In that case, break open the rum ration. Let us splice the mainbrace to steel the men before battle."
Hardy: "The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. It's part of the Government's policy on binge drinking."
Nelson: "Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose we'd better get on with it ........... full speed ahead."
Hardy: "I think you'll find that there's a 4 knot speed limit in this stretch of water."
Nelson: "Damn it man! We are on the eve of the greatest sea battle in history. We must advance with all dispatch. Report from the crow's nest please."
Hardy: "That won't be possible, sir."
Nelson: "What?"
Hardy: "Health and Safety have closed the crow's nest, sir. No harness; and they said that rope ladders don't meet regulations. They won't let anyone up there until a proper scaffolding can be erected."
Nelson: "Then get me the ship's carpenter without delay, Hardy."
Hardy: "He's busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the foredeck Admiral."
Nelson: "Wheelchair access? I've never heard anything so absurd."
Hardy: "Health and safety again, sir. We have to provide a barrier-free environment for the differently abled."
Nelson: "Differently abled? I've only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn't rise to the rank of admiral by playing the disability card."
Hardy: "Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is under represented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency."
Nelson: "Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons."
Hardy: "A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won't let the crew up the rigging without hard hats. And they don't want anyone breathing in too much salt - haven't you seen the adverts?"
Nelson: "I've never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy."
Hardy: "The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral."
Nelson: "What? This is mutiny!"
Hardy: "It's not that, sir. It's just that they're afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone. There are a couple of legal-aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks."
Nelson: "Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?"
Hardy: "Actually, sir, we're not."
Nelson: "We're not?"
Hardy: "No, sir. The French and the Spanish are our European partners now. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn't even be in this stretch of water. We could get hit with a claim for compensation."
Nelson: "But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil."
Hardy: "I wouldn't let the ship's diversity coordinator hear you saying that sir. You'll be up on disciplinary report."
Nelson: "You must consider every man an enemy, who speaks ill of your King."
Hardy: "Not any more, sir. We must be inclusive in this multicultural age. Now put on your Kevlar vest; it's the rules. It could save your life"
Nelson: "Don't tell me - health and safety. Whatever happened to rum, sodomy and the lash?"
Hardy: As I explained, sir, rum is off the menu! And there's a ban on corporal punishment."
Nelson: "What about sodomy?"
Hardy: "I believe that is now legal, sir."
Nelson: "In that case. . . . . . Kiss me !

Anyone who rides through the winter and has used heated grips will know just how good they are. Well I was looking for some and came across these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PRO-Handlebar-Hand-Warmers-12V-Heated-Grips-Inserts-Motorcycle-Grip-Warmers/302582644958?hash=item467354c0de:g:-FYAAOSwGUBaPGfj others even cheaper are available. Well curiosity got the better of me and I ordered some. I have used them today for the first time on my ANF125 and they are great. 2 settings and you can feel the warmth through winter gloves and liners, wonderful. As far as looks go you can hardly tell they are on and they don't make your bars feel any thicker. How long they will last who knows but the ones I got were the tremendous price of £3.50 but I have been through a few pair of far more expensive heated grips over the years and these certainly do not break the bank. The 750f is also sporting some now.
