The Manosphere on Netflix. A documentary by Louis Theroux on Netflix about influencers like the Tates etc. It’s a bit weird watching this as it’s hard to believe this is an actual “thing” but sure enough there's a lot of money to be made being a top “influencer” these days and they need their...

Definitely not consistent this year. Really frustrating for sure.

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. The two main meds are an organophorous compound you spread on the skin of the dog but that is deadly to cats and not so nice if the dog ingests it (that’s why it’s spread along the spine) or the chewable meds that work once the tick or flea bites. The...

That was finally a pretty dominant display from Liverpool against a tricky team this evening. Maybe the team and this thread might get a bit more life because of that. Also, boring boring Arsenal.

So for changing tires etc you just jack up the bike and leave the hack on the floor?

Is it easy to separate the hack from the bike? Novice territory or not?

When you service these bikes do you have to disconnect the bike from the sidecar or are they serviced on a bigger lift or something? How dangerous are they? Nobbie48 may have been joking when they mentioned going into ditches but maybe not?

Any chance we can spin this off to a new thread! I have some questions. I’m sure others might have some too.

Just watched all 6 seasons of Peaky Blinders again in preparation for the film that comes out on Netflix in a few days. Great series, great cast and great storytelling.

My dad had a fiat 126. It had cruise control. The cruise control was some mechanical rod that you pulled out to fix the accelerator at a certain position. That was the family car for a while for a family of 4. Day trips were a bit like playing sardines.

I’ll always have pet insurance going forward. We didn’t have it for one dog years ago and ended up spending thousands on cancer surgery. Had it for the recent dogs. One passed away recently but he more or less made it even with payments and his medical bills over the years. His sister needs...

Wasn’t the bodywork something like fancy papier mache on the first Trabants? Also, how on earth do they pass any safety protocols at all in Canada?

What’s the learning curve like?

Watching the series made me read the books. The Slough House book series is really well written and the TV series follows the books more or less to the letter.

Those look like they protrude a fair bit? Decent idea though. The one thing that bugs me a bit about bikes is that I don’t see much design input for the repair side of things. Every bike I've had has had plastic trim that seems fastened in a way that looks like an afterthought and a jigsaw...

I've always just removed the skid plate to do oil changes before but as I'm now older and crankier I'm more annoyed by the design of this thing. One small change would make things so easy. The underside bolts that secure the skid plate appear to be made of butter with Phillips heads and so...

It’s all good. The garage has been 20 years overdue for a revamp. This just adds a bit more urgency. In the end future oil changes will be straightforward and I'll have more room to fart about in the garage. The only loser is my wallet.

Ordered one too. Good to have anyway. Also now no excuse not to finish the job if I cack up other options.

Ordered some 2” Milwaukee jigsaw blades for aluminum. Should have everything I need aside from a tidied garage which will be done after $800 worth of shelves arrive. These oil changes are bloody expensive. On the plus side, I should be able to deck out a man cave afterwards.

Yellow looks good as it gives me some wiggle room when working. My days of bouncing my 1290 super adventure off babyhead rocks are probably behind me so I'm not too worried. The skid plate is more for deflecting kicked up crap these days. You have all made my wife's day since I need my...
