Where about in Oxfordshire are you? I’m just over the border in Bucks, just on the M40 junction 5.

I used to work with a bloke who’s mum worked in A&E.
They did have a guy come in once with a hoover attachment attached somewhere sensitive.
His story was he was hoovering the stairs naked and he fell down them.  ;)

Chemicals in capacitors responding to heat?

Never heard that before and I’ve been an electronics engineer since 1984.

I ordered a pair off EBay for a classic mini. About £25 the pair, my mate had one for his Triumph.
Fitted perfectly in my 550 in minutes.

Happy new year everybody, let’s hope the weather is drier than 2019.
Haven’t been out on any of my bikes since early September.

We’ve had so much rain here in Bucks, my house has 3 huge cracks up it, got to ring the insurance tomorrow, no doubt they’ll come up with an excuse not to pay out.

I’m wanting to get some spare keys cut for my bikes.
Only problem is on a couple the keys do not have a code stamped on them and I can’t see a code on the lock/switch.
Where should I be looking for codes on the lock/switch? 🤔

Amazingly my local Timpson managed to order the exact key blank for me and copy my existing key.

When I did my American imported 750 last year, I just used the dating Cert from VJMC and didn't need the additional letter from Honda

Same here

I bout a pair of Mini headlights for less than £25 the pair. I had one, my mate had one. Fitted perfectly in 15 mins.

Motobatt batteries are a pain in the arse. I have had a couple replaced under warranty on my Fireblade.

If they go flat they never seem to fully recover afterwards.

The only way to use one successfully is to have one connected to a trickle charger when not in use.
