Default Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Played hockey today in the team I played with before all my health problems began back in 2011, in almost the highest league I've played in and for the first time since 2010 I actually felt I played to a standard and felt that I deserved my place in the team and got some compliments to confirm that from some teammates

I listen to music while commuting - occasionally, it stops playing & needs to be started again. I've finally found out why - it's when I pass within about 100m of my wife, my phone connects by Bluetooth to the car & pauses the music.

Problem sorted, and I now have a wife-detector while riding!

Cruise control on the VFR ( only at 20mph and turns off when engine reaches 60º )

Tiny bit of body lean and you can steer it with no hands.. as long as there's no gusts of wind!

My vfr has a similar quirk. I have to let it warm up before setting off otherwise the idle jumps to 4k by the time I get to the end of my road. It stays there when you stop with the clutch in but once you knock it into neutral it returns to normal.
If I wait till the engine temp registers on the LCD it behaves fine.
I'm not particular bothered by it, it's good practice to let the engine warm a little before putting it under load.
