Re: The Movie Thread

Nuremberg

Went to see this last night in Stowmarket, which seemed appropriate since it's a bit like a war zone. Anyway, superb film. Russell "Who Ate All The Pies" Crowe and Remi Malek were outstanding. The 5 mins of real footage of cleaning up one of the camps was stomach churning. I guess we've ...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread

Mine regularly says it has no connection. And one time (at band camp) it got water in it when I was washing it a bit too enthusiastically, and then dialled the BMW emergency people every time I turned the ignition on. That was fun.

Still nice to know it (might) work when needed.

He's after an Aprilia RS125 GP Edition when he's 17 in a couple of months, and as much as I do like them the parts availability is a bit off-putting. Anyway it went back together easily enough and is tipping into corners like a loon on a nice new round tyre.

Aprilia SXR 50 very slow edition

Will's scooter needed a new rear tyre, so as is usual I ring up the tyre place across the road, order a tyre and take the loose wheel over to be fitted. Simples.

Not simples.

Lets overlook the wheel bolts are "approximately" T40 for the moment. But in order to ...

Re: The Movie Thread

I went to the premiere of Luca - Seeing Red last night. Harris' film about Luca Montezemolo, with a live Q&A after with them both and the director. It was really good, deffo one to watch when it comes out.

He's an fascinating man, and answered every question after with a complete unrelated story. :D

Re: Your fleet running reports


The Autel has been fantastic if you need a bit more than the basics. Don't need to mess about with a laptop with dedicated software on anything now. It'll do all the gearbox adaptations and brake bleeding and various calibrations on almost anything.


Which Autel do you have? The "basic" MaxiSYS ...

Took a couple of days to waft down to the folk's place in the Jaguar, stopped overnight in Le Mans. Effortless silent cruising was deffo the order of the day. 44.8 mpg overall in 654 miles at a pretty consistent 85 mph. Still had 90 miles of range when I got here, having filled up in Folkestone ...
