Re: Garage Storage

I was going to say... it looks better than our kitchem!


Considering how much time I spend in the garage I think my family really should invest in this sort of thing for me :-)

Re: The All New Megathread

CBR600 nearly back together. Leaving the fairings off for now (so I can do a bit more on the shock etc), apart from the front which has the indicators and headlight on. Just the V5 transfer needed so...

Re: The All New Megathread

Still working on the CBR600. It's not just the drop fluids and refresh that I thought it would be. Two weeks later it's still in bits in the garage (but at least it's fairly difficult to steal :-) ) ...

Re: The All New Megathread

On a positive note, I've finally got the carbs off. Jets are soaking and nothing looks as bad as expected. Apart from the boots, which have gone from rubber to granite, so need to order new ones.

Re: The All New Megathread

Cheers guys.


It's the underwriters and people the claim is passed to that are the problem. Realising now that when you need to claim it's not the (reputable) people you signed up with that...

Re: The All New Megathread

Insurance are just doing what they do. Dragging it out. Trying everything they can to find a reason to not pay.



They also sneakily increased my excess when I renewed without me knowing. I...

Re: The All New Megathread

Hello all. Sorry not been on here for a while. Life has thrown various s**t storms in my direction the last year or so and I've just been running away into the courtryside lanes riding a dirt bike...

Re: A little ride out

Ah ok. Working Weds onwards. Looks like I'll need to be near home the beginning of the week too as family away and Winnie is staying with me. Can't leave her for too long home alone really.

Re: BP weekend 2022

Looks like I'm not going to be able to make it now. Too many things clashing with not enough time off work. I don't mind leaving my money in the pot though if anyone else wants to go?

Do you need to freeze flour? I've never frozen it.

Re: Any Sourdough bakers out there?

I'd use 100% white until you're getting results you want and then gradually add small percentages of wholemeal to see what effect it has. I know wholemeal is a lot more thirsty and heavier too....

Re: Any Sourdough bakers out there?

I've never had much luck with wholemeal flour. I sometimes use 25 percent wholemeal and it comes out like a wholemeal but with more open texture. I followed Hugh Fernely Whiteringons's advice a few...

Re: Any Sourdough bakers out there?

I used to make a lot. Less so since we moved to a house with limited kitchen space. One thing I found over the few years was that the lazier I got the better the bread got. I now use a no knead...
