I thought i would start ANOTHER thread lol.

Basically with the amount of us lot in here i'm sure we could all benefit from knowing what we do for a living and what bike stuff we do so for guidance and advice.

Me - well let's just say if you want some info on doing your tax return and tax codes / rebates give me a shout - yes that's right i'm a dreaded TAXMAN. ha ha.

Bikes - apart from the usual stuff, oil etc.. i got myself an abba bike stand and took the wheels off and bought new tyres online and refitted em myself last year using the haynes manual - so i have the right tools for a K3 650s to do this if anyone wants a loan of em. (eg. pop through in the car - get the job done)

Want to do - brakes (new pads) and i have some goodridge lines to put on this summer so any tips and even help would be appreciated.

I thought it may help each other with a few headaches and get some free advice and also have a pool of knowledge and tools.

Me, I'm full time Mechanical Engineering student & part time Paintball Marshal. a young-ling at the grand old age of 20

As for bikes, I can do oil, filters, sparks, brake pads, chains, exhaust cans, brake calliper strip/clean/rebuild, carb strip/clean/rebuild (not tried an sv one though) and also fit little frilley things like lowers etc. Not changed brake lines, but I dont see how it can be a problem as long as they are blead propperly.

Waiting to get my p60 through, but may actually need some advice if it doesn't come. (I suspect it isn't going to, and I'm due a tax rebate from a previous job)

I've got an Abba stand and a kettle. I can do nothing, but you're welcome to use the stand and drink tea.

Work wise, if you are at A but would prefer to be at B, I can take you there. (I can also bring you back to A later if you like.)

oooh tax people, I love you all. Just in the process of getting a rebate. been paying basic rate tax for 3 years woohoo

anyway I can put petrol in, check tyre pressures, put onto paddock stand myself, observed an oil and filter, spark plug change on an sv, but dont have sv anymore

i ride a raptor 1000, well i will do shortly when its back in scotland.

I work as a class room assistant and have 29 working days until my 6 weeks summer holidays.

You know, that abba stand/kettle thing sounded familiar to me and, search being my friend, I found this and this

Do we need our absentee mod to make a sticky? It would save me from having to repeat my whiney joke...

I'm a teacher!!! So have similar holidays to Kit Kat!!!! Bet ya'll hate us!

I am also finishing off my masters degree. Doing dissertation as we speak. I can confirm that it is frying by brain, and has completely taken over my life. I'm sure if I even hint to John that I might quite like to do a PhD after this he will shoot me, or leave me, or both.

Oh, and I'm dead bendy, so I do yoga!

As for the bike, I can put petrol in her, ride her and clean her. For any other things it either goes into garage or John does it. And to be honest, he really does the petrol bit too!

I am a boring I.T. type. but also a java/ C/ C#/ Linux/Solaris/ tomcat/websphere/ HTML/Javascript/PHP/ Oracle/SQL+/Forms etc.

So of no use to anyone. Muzikill I have a quick question re returns and relates to my lad.

He has to provide his own van for work as a tiler. He is currently recording his milage for all jobs. His employer provides him with a fuel card that covers his fuel costs but not the cost of owning/operating the vehicle.

Can he claim anything. He has been sent a mini return. But does not seem to cover his travel costs
