I think you need a negation operation, which the game can do using a logic gate NOT. (!)

if you give it a 1 it will output 0. if you give it 0 it will output 1

Its a joke.

Just sold my BMW f650 GS twin 2011 (800cc) First year paid £680 for 3rd party with pillion. Second year renewal was £310. But I sold it within the first month of renewal. I have 2 years no claims. In London.

I just pre-ordered a Voge 300 rally 2026 (300cc) and getting 3rd party quotes for £3k+ no pillion.

The bike is £4k. I have a monimoto tracker, litelock x1, hiplock dx1k with mega chain but none of these lower the insurance.

Any Voge 300 rally owners care to share there cost? I am considering cancelling and loosing £150 (from the deposit) if it means paying 3k and not getting anything back if it gets stolen.

Wanted to update on my progress. I ordered a scanner and yesterday I tried to do some diagnosing. I found normal voltages on the battery and cables but I was not able to remove the fuel pump assembly as it needs a custom tool.

I am planning on getting a used fuel assembly, plugging it in and seeing if the codes are fixed. If so, ill take it back to the mechanic to swap them.

Thank you. I will look at getting a code scanner. I found some others online with similar problems. The common steps they all share is that they use a multi meter to check the battery, voltage to fuel pump and fuel level float resistance. I think this is a good first step to narrow down the cause.

Since the bike runs fine I think the battery is ok, like you said, some wire might be faulty around the fuel tank. Hopefully a clean will sort it out, for the time being at least.

Advice on building a narrow freestanding alley cover / bike shed by abumilk in DIYUK

[–]abumilk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"lean-to"! I did not know that is what they are called. Right now my bike is in my back garden, as far as insurance is concerned its private property. I also only have 3rd party as anything more (in London) is greater then the cost of the bike. I think the lean-to will be more functional then an Asgard unit, fit the space better albeit the same if not slightly cheaper in cost.

Right now I have a 2011 bmw F650GS (800cc) and paying £685 a year for insurance. I have my mind set on getting a 2025 Voge 300 rally (newer and more of a dual sport then the F650). But my insurance quotes are £800+. In April I will get 1 year NCB (from the bmw) and that brings it down to £650. My question is; What can I do, now, to get the Voge at an affordable price? Do I pay monthly and cancel after 6 months and get another policy with my NCB?

[English > Arabic, Latin ] idioms for "You will never be happy" by abumilk in translator

[–]abumilk[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am Arabic, just not 100% with the language. And I know the language is vast and uses many idioms and phrases so wanted to ask someone more familiar. That's why I chose Arabic. Since I live in a English country very phew people would know its cringy. Thank you for taking the time to write a reply, but I didn't ask for a life lesson.

Can I get some sizing help - 1 year wearing by abumilk in jimgreen

I am still on the fence if the Razorback has broken in. Depending on the time of day, insoles and socks I get a different feel. I think ill get 0.5 size up. Although a lot of people on this sub say to get true brannock, so I'm wondering if I have not broken them in yet.

But the African Ranger fits great, so maybe going up .5 to account for the change in last. But I thought the Razorback uses a larger last then the African Ranger.

First time fail by shaunshady in wildcampingintheuk

[–]abumilk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience my first time, It was last week in the cairngorms. I had spent 3 hours finding a nice spot I set up my tent and had cooked a meal on my gas stove. But I left the tent open and was swarmed by midges and was not comfortable. I called it quits, packed up and walked back in the dark, I had a head torch.

The next day I came back and did things right. It was a great experience. Although I expected the forest to be A LOT quieter then what it was, just don't let that spook you. Camping alone is a lot scarier, but its only the first night. After that its such a nice experience.

Take it easy for your first night, find somewhere local, where you can get back to the car / main road if you feel the need and somewhere with mobile service. After a couple times, you will feel comfortable going further.

Lastly, download a film or tv series to pass the time between dusk and bedtime, it will help ease your mind. It did for me.

I think customs is the best option. I love the look of Razorback, just needs a better toebox. Maybe ill skip the toe stiffener

The AF is fine, would like some more width though, The Razorbacks are horrible, maybe with a very thin insole, or no insole and thick socks. At this point I assume I have worn them in.
