Deed for the day.

And nobody's thought of the chuldrin.

 

I'm the same, always have a quick butcher's when the bike's been
stood.

I'm sure they come under daily checks that should be performed before
using any vehicle?

 

If you have to stop suddenly on a bike you may have to forget about them.

Ah yes. Everlasting tyres.

 

Now you mention it... can't remember ever having to change the
tyres on the ugly beast. Cleaning out the drum brakes, yes.
Dismantling the carberet^W carbureu^W fuel-and-air gizmo, yes.
Hell, there wasn't anything on it you couldn't fix with a
mole wrench and a hammer and a handy store of Anglo-Saxon
expletives.

"Fence wire and baling twine" is another version I heard.

The gear return spring on my TS250 (years ago), once. I was somewhere a long
away away from Spare Parts, but someone bodged it by winding some springy
wire and bolting it on externally. Worked for ages, until the tuits became
available.

 

"Concrete compound".

 

A rusty knob, I'd have thought.

Balls of melon?

I was coming round the M25 last Friday, and saw the graffito on one of
the bridges that always makes me laugh: "Give Peas a Chance!"

yeah, I've seen 'em, but the thing I'm talking about is a huge bit of
graffitti, in 1m high letters stretching across the entire side of
bridge crossing 6 lanes of motorway - the sheer silliness of it is
what makes me laugh (not least because when I first moved to the
Mainland, it just said "Peas" - acording to t'internet the rest was
added during the Iraq war protests).

I always liked the idea of the "M Khan is Bent" graffito (and the Mary
Whitehouse Experience running gag relating to it) but the original on
the Norf Circ has been painted over long ago now.

Once upon a time in Bradford, there was a band called "Love, Peace and
Chips". (I never heard them, just laughed at the name).

 

gotta love that Telecaster sound.

 

Kinda dated now, but I saw a big "Free Nelson Mandela" poster to which
had been added "with every 5 gallons".
