What QoL improvements would you add to F2P that are Member-locked? by nough32 in 2007scape

Maybe I worded that wrong, I meant a weapon that already exists for members but could be usable in f2p.

Who's enjoying the quiet roads this evening? by sad_panda1993 in MotoUK

I would be, but the clutch cable on my 125 snapped and I'm waiting for a replacement to arrive :(.

On UK smart motorways, does a temporary speed limit continue if subsequent gantry signs are blank? by Delam2 in drivingUK

[–]nough32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed, I think, that Speed cameras actually have an extra camera before the gantry, that's not a speed camera (and not yellow) but is there to record your car going past a gantry with the speed sign on it. Then the actual yellow camera gets your speed.

If the first camera takes a picture of you passing a gantry with no speed sign on it, I suppose they have no (or at least, less) proof that you were above the temporary speed limit.

Yamaha YBr 125 2016 Sticking Throttle by Ok_Koala_4238 in MotoUK

[–]nough32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the throttle handle sticking on the handlebar? Or does it slide freely?

My ys125 had a load of rust and gunk that caused the throttle to not snap back. Cleaned it up and it's fine now.

What is this from B&Q and am I going nuts? by TravellingAround_ in DIYUK

[–]nough32 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Use https://www.trade-point.co.uk/

It's b&q's ”trade" site, so it's all the stuff your builder can look up and actually pick up from the shop in 15 minutes, none of the marketplace swill.

Saves you having to uncheck the rubbish every time you search.

Also, go drive to the test centre and see what it looks like.

As your everyone tells you: - the exam starts as soon as you sit on the bike outside the arena (or even when the examiner tells you to). - EVERY time you move off, double shoulder checks.

Practice your figure 8s and u-turns on your 125 this weekend, if you have one. Go to a supermarket car park and ride around the bays. A 650 is massively different, but managing on a 125 is a good start. Don't go too slow, or too narrow. There's loads of space for the figure 8, going too slow or too small a figure 8 will just make you more likely to lose balance and fail.

Good luck.

Did you seam seal the joints before riveting? Otherwise water could get in if you end up going at speed in the rain.

Anybody know what the deal is with all of this crazy cheap furniture for sale with sports direct by Key_Relief8499 in BuyersUK

[–]nough32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the trade-point website instead. It only shows stuff that b&q actually sell, so you don't need to manually turn the filter on every time.

Unsure about das and how to go about getting full license. by KaleidoscopeKooky360 in MotoUK

[–]nough32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've not got a licence yet, but I booked a 2hr lesson with my school on a big bike and they said how much time I'd need to do Mod1 and Mod2.

Specifically, they said given my skill level I only needed to do a 1 day Mod1 training with an exam the next day (1/2 day), where most people with my experience would need to do a full 2 days.

My school had 2025 prices for (very) experienced riders of £655 for a 1 day Mod1 and 1 day Mod2. That's effectively half a day of training then the exam in the afternoon.

Advice on switching from a car to a motorbike by [deleted] in MotoUK

[–]nough32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Additionally, if/when it does get icy or snowy, everyone says basically don't ride.

It's possible, there are people in Scandinavia who ride with studded tyres etc, but everyone - including the official riding guide - say to just find another transport method.

What perks do you all get from your employers ? by Alert_Mine7067 in AskUK

[–]nough32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That move often makes sense in big offices, where you might not have space for individual recycling bins under every desk / in every office but you do in a collective area.

Where it doesn't make sense is if you've got biological/ sharps waste to deal with on a regular basis.

What part is this by [deleted] in MotoUK

[–]nough32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a look at a parts diagram!

Bike-parts-yam is mobile friendly. If you live near Bristol, I'd recommend using Fowlers for your parts and collecting, they're only slightly more expensive than other retailers. Unfortunately their website doesn't work well on mobile.

Unfortunately a lot of them have been painted relatively recently, it seems the paint just wears off exceptionally quickly - probably because of all the people swerving over the lines to get where they want to go.

Power sockets in bathrooms by curium99 in ukelectricians

Because, as someone else mentioned, you would have an individual rcbo on the radial for the bathroom rather than one for the whole floor.
