maybe this isnt the place to post this but it might be of use to someone. i was diagnosed with long covid recently by my GP after chest xrays, cardio ecg, 24hr ecg and a number of asthma tests but nothing untoward showed up. but they did acknowledge that my breathing capacity was 50% what it should be. so i just accepted that i was stuck with it. anyway, i mentioned it to a guy a few weeks ago who is very into alternative medicine and a vegan. so i was naturally sceptical! apparently, his friend had long covid and after some research, started taking a low dose nicotene patch. it seems that he improved drastically and is now much better. i didnt bother following it up as it seemed a bit fanciful, but my wife suggested i give it a go. so i got a pack of step 3 7mg patches and stuck them on. only four days in, and i realised this morning that my breathing is almost normal! i'm going to carry on for two weeks and then stop. however, if you try them and you drop dead, dont blame me. but if youre getting on a bit like me and struggling with it, give it a go. there is anecdotal evidence on google but nothing science based as yet, but i assume some research is going on. although i'm still unable to lift my 750-4 engine onto the workbench! but maybe i'm just old...

just doing little jobs on my lunch break and i'm stripping the airbox. how on earth do the long bolts come off so i can paint the mounting brackets? there's a spacer which doesnt seem able to pass over the threaded part. any thoughts?

i'll risk posting this. any abuse welcome. my hip/knee/ankle are still playing up and riding is very painful at the moment, so i got myself a 600 silverwing scoot which took a while to get used to. i havent ridden so much in ages so that's a bonus. but it's very comfortable and bombs along at a fair pace

finally had to accept that my bike riding days are coming to an end due to hip, knee and ankle issues. so i've been looking at scooters and the burgman 400 seems very popular. anyone here got one?

i'm making a few fairing downtube clamps for the phil read/honda britain fairing so if there is anyone here who needs a couple, let me know. i'll also make a few of the long fairing strut that runs across the top of the carbs

has anyone replaced the swingarm bearings with either a roller or needle bearing? and if so, which bearing did you use? i know standard practice is to use phosphor bronze but i'm working on something that needs a bearing. thanks

made a bit of a soul destroying discovery a few weeks ago when i noticed a big hole in the back of one of my sheds. the lawnmower and pressure washer were gone but not such a big deal, but the thieving gits took a few supermarket size crates full of bike bits which are probably on ebay by now. thankfully both my frames and engines were in a more secure shed close to the house so that's a relief. i have loosely assembled enough parts from my stash of spares to complete one bike (honda britain) but annoyingly, i have no swingarm dust seals! hence my ad in the wanted section. the other bike (phil read rep) is going to inherit some cbr600 running gear for the time being, as i want to use that one as a weekend ride. it never rains.....
