  1. I'm a Risk Manager in a bank (i.e. telling them not to screw things up.... not that they ever listen...) Time flies, and quoting a previous sentence, lots of lovely pressure too (especially when they have screwed up for being greedy, not listening and now needing a fix). Worst part: endless meetings where the only decision taken is to meet again Right now lunch in front of my screen, checking Google Maps and trying to figure out where to ride this weekend!!
  2. I'm not that far from you,I guess (Chelmsford) Missed this one as just landed from business trip. Let's meet up sometime cheers

    Made up!

    Great stuff mate!!!
  4. Thanks Fred, looks like I'll order it!! Cheers
  5. I guess when they'll open a section named "DOTD: Dumb of the day", I'll instantly become a VIP member... I just found out, after some email exhange (thanks internet for the relative anonimity), that the heat shield is typically tied to the brand and model of exhaust... in this case an Arrow. They don't sell the shield separately and I don't think I want to but the whole exhaust piping set just for the metal plate so I reckon I'll pass for now
  6. Hi all, I'm trying to find a replacement heat shield for my Transalp 650 exhaust. Can anyone recommend a good/reliable spare parts online store? I've tried good ol' ebay but haven't found it.... Cheers
  7. Hi I ride to Burnham every now and then (close to Chelmsford / nice roads up there) The Bikers Cafe you guys mention is the one in High Street, just next to the War Memorial? cheers
  8. Couldn't agree more. To a great extent, it's all about self-discipline Make a timetable and try to sneak off a couple hours a day. Once you get into the routine, you'll be surprised at how many hours go every day that we just can't account for!! (i.e. where did the day go??) If you fall out a couple days, no dramas, just try to progressively catch up over the next few days. Biggest enemy is procrastination Best of luck!!
  9. Fully agree, some quick due diligence helps exposing scammers Name, ID with pic, full address, telephone, utility bill..... and suggest you will run it through some background check. Almost guaranteed you'll never hear back from them
  10. I guess 80s school canteens were a good preparation for those willing to join the Army later I get the same feeling whenever I do the school run and get to see the classrooms, etc... when did the shiny kit arrive? I still remember the day we saw the Amstrad CPC64k "computer"... I felt like the teacher was going to advise "get ready for warp speed!!"
  11. Very similar here, although typically lined bike trousers and no jeans Whenever I go see wifey (Southern Spain) and see the bikers there, the jealous meter goes off scale though
  12. Anzac comes from my wife, she's Australian and when pi$$ed off, she can display the same combat-agresiveness as the real anzac soldiers... I had intended to add 70 (for 1970, year of birth) but the first time I tried in another forum, it was taken so I used her year of birth I guess anzac74 should be HER nickname and not mine but I'm too lazy to change it now
  13. I have one of these and so far working pretty well, no more steaming Got it in amazon UK and hit the mailbox two days later
  14. Aaaawwww, I know, mate.... it was one of those days: "this is not happening, I taught my kids to rde bikes and now I just can't get this thing working!!" Thanks all for the tips, bits above will be added to toolkint Cheers
