Re: D6 .....

I trust that the big day went well for you both Martin, and that you have a fantastic time in Austria
( :P what a waste, if you'd got married a month or two back you could have incorporated a ski holiday into your honeymoon ;) )

Re: Timber .....

Perhaps a 1jac stand is the way forward for you D6Nutz. There's been a bit of discussion about them at 675.cc in case you think you may be interested.: http://www.675.cc/675/viewtopic.php?f=5 ... 86#p264986" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Re: Water wetter

Do I also remember reading that, as it has a much higher boiling point, it doesn't expand as much & therefore does not add system stress with the usual pressure.?

Re: New Car

..Manual shifts have had their day in cars, IMHO. Autoboxes are so good now that changing gear manually is just a chore. Interesting Duke. I used to be a die-hard "manual only" type. I have still never owned an automatic car. However when I had finished repairing the old JCB digger I brou...

Re: Trickle Charger Usage

Fwiw I have a couple of Optimates, and use them all the time. On the bikes I don't use I have the batteries daisy-chained on an Optimate to maintain them & avoid them becoming sulphated. They seem to last very well, no side effects & no failures. What type of trickle charger are you using ma...

(shocked) 8 speed paddleshift. (rock) I didn't even spot the paddles (headbang) Having never sat in a car with paddles let alone driven one , I can honestly say my jealousy threshold is fast reaching never previously attained heights. I bet Mrs C00kiemonster is a double for Angelina Jolie too.! ;(

Re: Snetterton Open Pitlane Trackday - 25th June

There is a downside to OPL's, if you are a crash hazzard like me. I found that they do not red flag the track to collect crashed bikes until there are a few to collect. In my case this has resulted in me waiting at the side of the track for over an hour waiting with a marshal before they sent the bi...

Fwiw I wouldn't consider trying to get my knee down on the road, well not a normal road anyway. The roads have potholes & lumps everywhere. You can come across spilt diesel, muppets at standstill round a blind bend & cars on your side of the road. Any of the above can be terminal, so I try ...

Re: Insurance Loan Cars

:) I'm in the same boat as Rob. Last time I had to have a courtesy car the supplied me with "an equivalent" car.
They delivered a brand spanking new Subaru Impreza. (nod)

I did have fun "running it in" for the three weeks I had it. (giggle)

Re: New Ignition switch

I agree with DaytonaAndy. I had a new key cut for my 675, and it was a plain blank from the Triumph dealer. It has not transponder chip in it & does not need matching electronically in any way. There is an option where you can have your datatool alarm fob (if you have one) attached to the key bl...
