Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Just got back from that there London to see the Who and Paul Weller in Hyde Park last night. It was a cracking night.

Visiting London is great but I couldn't live there.

And the congestion charge is just a joke now. All it does is allow the rich and wealthy to pollute the capital with expensive cars each of which which probably make more pollution than 10 Ford Fiestas or whatever. The air quality is still piss poor.

Trying to fix my car and finding some ones bodge job they have stripped the threads on a spark plug

Finally fixed the fueling problem on the Jeep. Turns out that the weber 2 barrel carb had come loose allowing too much air in thru the base. Little bit of disassembly and some locktite, good as new

I miss carbies

Nothing planned today. I was hoping to get out on the bike but it's raining.

Yesterday did all the cleaning, hoovering then went out with dad too Fareham point. Today got to do a bit of shopping but generally going to be a lazy day. Will also book up the bike safe course with track day at Castle Combe for me and dad for couple of weeks time. A bit of father son bonding time for £30 each not too bad in my opinion [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

Melting

You lot are getting our heatwave next week - outside temp gauge reads nearly 40 in the sun and 33 in the shade. Its been like this for a few days now and getting hotter.

Scorchio!

30 degrees they reckon.

Spent 30 minutes chasing one of these around the living room before it disappeared for good

Arrrrrr seriously?? Surely you don't just forget about it??

I don't want one of these running about. They've got a nasty bite.

How will you catch it Kwacky ! Can you lure it with food !?? As bait ?

Good luck finding the begger then!

I've got it now. It ran under the table so I cornered it up against a table leg then scooped it up in a plastic tub.

How much damage can their bite do ? Is it venomous or just a nasty flesh wound ?

How much damage could they do to the sole of my shoe?

Depends how deep your shoe sole is Adults have good sized fangs.

These are arboreal spiders so their first instinct is to climb. You won't find them on the floor.

The venom is a simple type which means you can't have a reaction to it. From what I've read it's a sharp burning pain that radiates out from the site of the wound. Pain will last for a few hours but people have reported symptoms lasting from a couple of days up to a few months. The fangs are big but with these you tend to have a clean bite.

Glad you found it then as that doesn't sound too good at all

I'd burn my house to the ground if I thought one of those was loose inside.
