Heh, I've already got a garage full of the bloody things, so I suppose one more wouldn't hurt Indeed it is. I shall rush out and buy two, just in case I ever get to use one. A new back-up tool is essential I believe. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
I did a similar thing yesterday (or maybe the day before). I bought a HDD recorder (for t' music, like) and I've done **** all but play with it and watch the instructional video since. I tried reading the "how to" book, but it's more bigger than what War and Peace is. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
**** that Andy, just keep 'em in a box like I do and ope the lid every now and again to let a few escape. Its done -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
Or place it strategically in the living room (behind a sofa is a god place to start) then loop the power lead and airline around the room edge so that it JUST reaches your coffee table upon which is a fuel tank and a selection of colours. She won't notice a thing until she can't see the TV through the mist, unless she spots the open 5 litre can of gun cleaner just under her legs of course. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
Ah, sorry Eddie, 1) it's *me* and 2) the timing confused me (I'd already fitted the new chain). Understood, and if I bought my own riveting tool I'd probably get a good one (had several cheap highish stress tools break in the past to know what to risk and what not to), but I really can't justify one yet and can't be assed with using two bricks etc. I know. I wonder how much of this 'spring links are no good' thing is a function of poor engineering practice by the user, (fitting the spring clip on backwards, allowing too much wear / side play on the chain in general, stressing the clip whilst fitting etc etc) and / or a function of what you ride and how you ride it? ie, I'm an old boy and have always (well mostly) ridden like one. I have no interest in larking about on a bike, popping wheelie's and the like because 1) it's just not me and 2) it's not generally how I treat my machines nor behave on the road (boring / tit / old git .. don't care) and 3) I would generally choose a shafty as I really can't stand all this prehistoric chain drive nonsense. Efficient it might be but economical and tidy it aint. ;-) And It does sound sweet I must admit. Nice a quiet and not too many rattles anywhere. ;-) Been there done that paid for the house and toys (when I was 40) and am now (well, for the time being anyway) a house husband! ;-)
