Hi John.

I was down your way yesterday (on my Sprint - not my 500/4...). Lovely day for a ride and loads of bikes out on the A272!

Returning that to standard is a big job!

Keep us posted with pictures.

Hi Colin.

You'll find a bunch of 400/4 owners up your way (most of them are called Dave)

I doubt it.   Why don't you offer it up and see what the obvious differences are?

Hello Paul.

I'm afraid that 500/4s (and Hinckley Triumphs) are my passion...    ::)

Post some pictures!



Gixxer eh? - bet you don't ride the Honda very much! (I did about 10 miles on mine last year  :'(

I guess you either go the "solvent route" or the "acid route"

For acid - Coke is about as cheap as it comes!

Too bad even for the IAM...

I've just had my Rider Skills Assessment (I'm training to be an IAM Observer) postponed until next weekend.

Mind you, if he hadn't called, I would have called him!

Another 3" this morning. It's worse though as it's +3

I bought a gallon of cellulose thinners from Kempton Park Autojumble last year.

It's nasty but good on fuel varnish.

The 500/4 in my avatar had a 550K3 seat and tank. They fitted as a pair but I had to "adjust" the seat hinge...

OK.

Not quite what I had in mind (a pull-down-menu would have been nice)

If you hold down the ALT key, the editor will accept UTF-8 character codes.

eg:

<ALT>0176 =

I can't   :P

But I do remember 1963 (I was 5) - my dad built an iglo in the garden.

So do you paste the character into the post each time you want to use it?

John, the recent weather and posting activity leads me to ask if there's a setting that allows additional characters to be used in posts.

Like a "degrees" character for example.

I can do it on my Blackberry under "symbols" but SMF doesn't seem to have the facility (unless there's an add-on?)

BTW: Triumph Forum doesn't do it either (they use vBulletin)

Blue skies and sunshine today, but about -2 Celsius

School still closed ( ??? ) as local authority seem to have bottled out over the whole thing.

This was yesterday morning at about 7am.
