Re: Diesel Bike

I note the auctioneers claim that it has no front suspension, relying on the soft tyres for that function.

What else did they get wrong?

Re: Diesel heater in my garage

Check out exhaust heat reclamation.

I have seen the exhaust run through an old wall mounted radiator and also a sand filled version.

Re: Advertising at the sides of motorways

To put an advertising sign up you need planning permission.

To park a vehicle in a field, you don't....but you can still charge for it.
That said, before running any marketing promotion, having proper customer data is essential. Understanding customer behavior and segmentation comes first ...

Re: Battery replacement needed?

With the old lead acid, you could dip voltage tester prong into each cell and confirm a dead cell.

The 2 volt deficit is a give away though, it's entirely Boris'd.

Re: The lies of the bike buyer

My sales tactic is simple, "Do you want to waste time bartering or shall I just give you the final, not a penny less price?"

If they try it on after that I just tell them this is not the item for you.

Re: When was the last time you Offended someone?

Had a bank fraud call today, "FO you thieving C".

It is fun being able to say what you like to people, especially when they can hardly call the police to report you.

Re: Tip Of The Week - Which You Probably Know

If your mrs gets up the chuff, persuade her to use terry nappies for the wee shit machine.

Disposable nappies are inclined to melt when you are polishing the exhausts on your bike.
