There will always be a subtle difference between us girls keeping bikes and bits indoors and when you boys do it. I still hoover and dust around the bike, there is never any oil or grase on the floor, the tools are all put back in their boxes when not in use, there are never any oily rags left laying around, and they get a hotwash every now and then. But the main difference is that no one dare have a go at us about it, or there will be no dinner on the table and no clean clothes for a week!!!. I reckon us girls have got it made really   

Personally Trigger I have never seen the problem with bike bits or whole bikes indoors, why be cold and uncomfortable working in the garage when it's -10 and blowing a blizzard outside when you can be lovely and cosy indoors. I also feel that dishwashers, ovens and sausepans are under utilised when just used for cooking the dinner and getting the dishes clean afterwards. Make the most of what you have I say.(Still waiting for someone to try cleaning bike bits in the pressure cooker though, I'm not that brave !!!). The truth now.....I live on my own these days but when married I still had his and my bikes indoors, they look great with tinsel, fairy lights and balls on at Xmas. Anyway, must move all the front brake caliper bits off of the worktop, batch of fairy cakes coming out of the oven. 

I had a slight clutch drag on 400 when I got it. Dont know what oil it had in it but changed oil and filter and used some oil my dad used to put in his Hilman Hunter back in the day, just loked on can (very rusty) and its castrol GT. Asda do Castrol 10/40 semi synthetic, so may have to use that next time.

Welcome from Dungeness. Used to live the other side of the South Downs, on top of the hill in Crowborough. Now down at sea level, well under sea level at times !!!. The chaps on this forum are great, a good laugh and very knowledgeable. They advise me on fast idle speeds etc and I advise them on enemas and uses for Soda Bicarbonate for skin burns !!! Fair trade I think. Good to have you with us

Hi All
Yes to Soda Bic for Ash's Mum's remedy for burns. Good old fshioned remedy but not allowed as a treatment now due to Health and Safety and COSHH regs.It works by taking the heat out of the burns. Don't know if it would work on a rusty tank but Caustic Soda works well on my old sink pipes, so should work well on the inside of a tank. (just make sure you wear a mask and gloves as very caustic and fumes get right in your lungs)

My Enema's have never been so popular !!!. The tubes I can use range from bike fuel pipe size all the way up to Range Rover bottom hose size, take your pick................bend over please !!!

Thanks Lobo and Dan. All sounds straight forward. Will have a tinker when I get time and let you know what happens.
