Which reminds me,I also need to top up my spare too,and my bike battery.
Today I have mostly been soldering a small loom, 6 joins to solder in total.I really cant get the hang of that job,and am convinced three arms are required (one to hold solder,one to hold soldering iron,and another to hold some kind of tool to hold the wires together),hence I have burns on the tips of several fingers.Didnt really feel them at the time as it was way to cold.

Twist the wires together before soldering.

Seems too bulky and untidy to me.

Done right, even twisting them together, it should be barely any bulkier than the sheath on the original wires..

Nipped to the unit after filling with LPG and chucked the 16" wheels from Taxi Al which are (potentially) destined to be my winter wheels. They've got 2 Enduro's with very good tread (virtually new) which went on the front and 2 well worn (just legal ) Autogrip's which are on the back until tomorrow afternoon when they will be replaced with another couple of new Enduro's

Trouble it... We're forecast a lot of snow and I need to get around tonight/tomorrow and those AG's are lethal Made for interesting handling on the way home

They do that

Think I had them tother way round, but practically not sure what difference that makes at least the front end won't wash out...

Got an MOT pass on Morticia, but have had to leave her at exhaust place over night as supplier sent wrong exhaust part - will get her back tomorrow lunchtime :-)

More interested in making sure the front goes where I want it and stops... At least losing traction at the back can be dealt with using a little (or as it was when they let go on a 90 degree right hander at low speed) a lot of opposite lock  It'll keep me on my toes Only got to tolerate it until tomorrow afternoon and I can get them replaced

You certainly had the pressures high

[05omegav6]

  Estate full load pressures, so 41psi at the front and 48 at the back...
