XD peoples say that in the near futur we will all eat insects instead of meat so it would be a great way to begin !
 yeeeeeerk ! I live in Alsace, just next to Germany. Here our culture have been massively influenced by ancient german times, simply because in the past this region was actually a german one and not french. So I really don't feel eating these animals XD I leave that for Monsieur Dupont Du Chateau De La Tour
Nice scissor lift! Certainly beats clambering around on the ground. Also looks as if you're running a tad short on space. What is that place, a bleedin' operating theatre?
Yes, indeed. A lift just makes it so much more accessible. Hehe, benefits of having your own business .
Saturday. 11 degrees. Sun. Wet roads. Rode the bike for the first time in 2018 today. Dry / wet roads, so the bike got proper filthy. Gave it a good clean when i got back. So nice to be riding again, did a 2 hour ride today! The gearing of -1 +1 is so so good, i love it! Bike feels so torquey, want to lift in first, second and third gear with ease. Need to address a few things on the bike though. My left fork is leaking... tried sealmate a few times, does not seem to cut it. May have to get some new seals then. Also, my right fairing hangs off a bit where it meets the bellypan. Damn fragile plastic clips. Need to calibrate my speedo aswell, bike said i was doing 100 mph on the freeway haha, hmm maybe i did..
Wiz, re the fairing/belly pan attachment, there is a solution. This started out as one of my OCD penchants for preventing stonechips on the front of the belly pan. I bought some clear 'Contact' or similar book covering and then cut a strip the height of the bellypan frontal area (about 4") and long enough to wrap around each side of the fairing by about 3 inches. It's so discrete that you won't even notice it, BUT it really secures the fairings to the bellypan. It's on this pic - if you zoom in you'll note a slight blemish where I buckled the wrap. I should have used a hairdryer, which I've since done.
Nice one Nigel, I shall be looking for some of this 'wrap' you speak of and copying this idea. Ta very much
