3 years is nowt!
From a pal on another ( 2 stroke scooter ) forum:
" Last running in ‘63, this old girl has just oscillated... it has taken me many hours to sort... but hey when they chortle back and forward, the world seems a better place😀 "
The second day from getting it home he was riding it.

Any bad roads Chris? I'm doing the NC500 there over the BH weekend, would be good to know if any surfaces are carp and re-plan the route.


Bet it's raining after you had such good weather.

Generally no bad roads but bad patches on some of them. I'd say tricky would be a better word, especially the singletrack stuff, some of the bends are unsighted but drop off sharp too kind of thing. Certainly kept me honest for much of it

We have escaped the evil clutches of Sky. When they wrote to me and said they were upping my subscription by yet another £2 per month I realised it had crept up to more than £400 per year without me really noticing. At 8 this morning the planner locked me out of what we had left unwatched and I could no longer do live-pause or search.

One trip to John Lewis later I now have a Freesat plus box that has pretty much all the channels we normally watch and has most of the same features. Should have done it years ago!

If anyone would like a fully working Sky+HD box let me know before it goes on e-Bay later this weekend.

I tempted to do the same. I'm paying 52 and when you look on their website they have the newer boxes for less per month! It's so insulting

I watch more youtube and downloaded series than I watch sky now anyway. It's just nice having it

We kicked virgin cable into touch last September and went plusnet ( 77Mb download and 16 Mb upload over copper ) and got freesat box with twin tuner so can record two channels at once, tv already has freesat input as well as freeview terrestrial aerial socket so we are all set...can watch and record either freeview or free sat - and WSB and BSB highlights are on ITV4 and catchup tv. You can link Humax box to internet via WiFi or cable and get iPlayer and ITV hub etc. Happy days.

And the irony is if you have ditched Sky you can use their dish for freesat....
