  1. Yes thanks, I read what you posted. I acknowledged that the statement that you made was contrary readily available information. I can understand how that would confuse you. In other news, total EV is not currently a workable solution to mass transportation needs. Relatively inexpensive hybrid can be more efficient in terms of CO2 production and distance travelled per unit energy than EV so "we" really should pursue that avenue rather than following the EV trend.
  2. EV generally slow using regenerative braking, hence the tiny discs on most of them. My run of the mill estate car is ~2000kg, Tesla Model 3 is ~1600kg so I'd call your statement bunkum.
  3. I'm supposed to be taking the family to see my dearest mother tomorrow for her birthday. It's a 300ish mile round trip but there's no full round here.
  4. I couldn't tell you. It's a good point though - there could potentially be bits of carbon and such floating about in the oil but then the filter should catch anything that wouldn't pass through the Stahlbus.
  5. Morning all. Covid Mk 2 is really dragging on. In the mornings it sounds like a chain smoker convention in my house!
  6. Forget scrabbling around on the ground like a chump while undoing a drain plug! I put these on my bikes a few years ago and haven't looked back. They make oil changes a breeze (although slightly slower) plus no more oil up your arm.
  7. I use Racer High Racer gloves and really like them. I bought them on recommendation from a guy who raced after he showed me a pair he was wearing during a crash. I now have my own pair that I wore during an unplanned dismount and have to say they held up really well. I was so impressed that I bought another pair. They're nice and supple from the start and my first pair probably lasted 12 years before the stitching started to go (even after the aforementioned ground contact incident). My top two is don't get hung up on price. Buy something that feels good to wear and offer you good protection. After all, if you get a decade from them, it's not much money per year.
  8. I was in work on Friday. I felt fine until around 3 when I started feeling a bit rough. I did a test when I got home which was positive - wife and kids all tested positive too. It's spread all round the office and my son's school is heaving with it. None of us have felt like we've got more than a bit of a cold and the only reason I did a test was because the mother-in-law was due round on Saturday. If it wasn't for that the we would all have carried on our usual business.
  9. That's what my MOT guy told me when I booked in the turbo. I was a bit surprised but that's what he said.
  10. The engine doesn't need to run to get a bike MOT.
  11. Looks like I'll be working from home for the beginning of the week but I left my laptop in the office. The sun is shining, it's warm outside and I've got 60 miles to kill. There's only really one answer to this conundrum.
  12. I did get some reasonable results but they weren't consistent. I think I got a bit bored of it and ended up with a few bubbles. There's definitely a fine line between bringing back the surface finish and setting light to it.
