She was great in Secret City. That was a good series too.

Great video. That made it look so easy. The tube valve nut halfway up the valve stem is not something I've seen before, I usually snug that as tight as I can without a wrench. I've pinched so many tubes though.

Went for an evening ride yesterday. Couple hours of beautiful riding in the country side. Stop for a few pics. Figure I better get gas. Wow 162.9 and no line up, yet. Note the mileage in the little book and back on the bike, no start. Turn the key and can see the voltmeter drop below 10v no...

Thanks, I thought Communicator was a brand name. I want to stay away from the brand names as I rarely use these as I've tried to listen to music before but found I "tune" it out.

Good topic to bring up once more. Been on the fence for sometime I’m these. What is the communicator headset?

You should ask for the old parts back to see how worn things were To give you an idea of what happened.

I forgot about that. I still have some 35mm negatives somewhere.

What usually wears out are the bushings and that is usually due to mileage and or contaminated fluid. There is a grey coating in them that disappears and then it starts chewing up the copper bushing itself. The seals tend to last much longer unless a dust or sand particle wedges itself in there...

I know it maybe too late now, but did you try a Sealmate or something similar to clean around seals? I had this happen on a trip many years ago far from home and 40,000 miles later there is still no leak after using the Sealmate I've been carrying for the last 15 years. I do change the fork...

That is great, I didn't think they would do it under the new system. I remember when Canadian Tire used to do them for m/c many years ago. Wonder if they can (or will) do them now.

Just watch out for the drunk/stoned drivers, that's when many of them are out as well.

I usually don’t go out on long weekends and thought today most of those travelling would have left by now. Stayed on secondary roads and only one tool that coasted at a stop sign making a right into my lane but I expected to be cut off. After 2 hours headed home. I was hoping to grab the photo...

I don’t remember Canadian Tire having the British parts back then. Usually the junk yard. Dom’s in Oshawa

I remember the points and distributors being flakey. I remember messing with the timing lights and sanding the points. I was the wrench and screw driver getter. I was also the watch for the superintendent as we weren’t supposed to work on the cars in the underground parking. But winter and we...

My brother had an MGB, MGB Midget and TR7. I think it was one of the reasons he became an electrical engineer. He too ended up rewiring them but that was back in the 70s when DIY stuff was hard to find but we had great “shop” teachers back then. He sold the lot and got a 69 Super Bee then sold...

I guess they are the MGBs and Spitfires of today, but with better electrics.

I have the plastic map pocket on the tank bag too. When on a long trip, at a break, I pull the gps off the bike and put it in my pocket. Take the tank bag in for a coffee break and browse the paper map. Fold it in the section that covers the next three hours or so and place that section in the...

Tough negotiator. Hmmm I will let you know in a 100,000 km

@Lightcycle Price just went up. Supply and demand!

I've seen the price of used cars, not to mention new ones. I think I will drive this one into the ground first.
