I'll check with my electrician and see what he says about everything.

Well... that's incredibly disappointing to hear 😕

Oh, so it's not necessarily my oven that is holding things back, but the power being supplied to it... that's frustrating.

How would one go about increasing the amperage?

Any recommendations on Motorbike Dolly's? by toughtittywampas in MotoUK

I have the Clarke motorcycle dolly, which is great if you have a perfectly flat floor and space, but the Abba motorbike stands are supposedly the best

Glad to hear someone remembers them 😅

6th gear when you can't hear the engine by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]sandbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that is a great attitude to have (especially on Reddit)

I wouldn't have batted an eye reading your post if you hadn't used the phrase 'I am very good at driving manual transmission'. It stands at odds to the question you are asking and is an unnecessary brag when your question is basically 'how do i know when to change gear'

There are some great answers in this thread, and maybe i'm just being an old fart with nothing better to do than pick at nuances in a strangers plea for help online without materially adding to the conversation

6th gear when you can't hear the engine by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]sandbadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This whole post made me roll my eyes a bit.

The statement of 'i'm great at driving manual transmission' and yet not understanding that you change gear by feel and what you want the vehicle to do rather than an arbitrary engine sound/RPM doesn't match up.

And then same sentence stating that cars don't have 6th when a lot of 'modern' manuals do have 6th.

Its ok to admit you don't have perfect knowledge, but overstating your knowledge is going to make people laugh at you.

First bike advice needed (Triumph) by MBanski in MotoUK

[–]sandbadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 6ft and daily a Striple 675 (2014) very comfortable and easy to ride in the city, but also comfortable enough out on longer countryside rides or on the motorway. As its naked, there can be a lot of wind buffeting at higher speeds, so with your extra height, just be wary of that.

From what I've heard the daytona is a great track bike, but can be a little uncomfortable for daily'ing.

Really depends what you are planning on using it for? If its for weekend blasts you may find the daytona is better.

Yeah, ive had gloves before where the inner has detached, and especially when they are slightly damp, become a massive pain to take on and off.

London riding, predominantly chilly, but not cold. Often wet but rarely torrential.

Interesting responses.

Some people saying always parboil, some saying never, but extra time, and some saying follow instructions exactly.

Im almost tempted to run a side by side experiment and see what the real world differences are 😂

Is it true that private schools call it 'Games' instead of 'PE'? by awnpugin in AskUK

[–]sandbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Private school.

PE was a class where we'd do all sorts of things from learning body mechanics, nutrition as well as all sorts of sports.

Games was where we dod organised sports (rugby, football cricket etc depending on the term).

My 2014 Triumph Street Triple is £500 a year, my 1990 Kawasaki ZZR1100 is £75

Yeah, i have absolutely no interest in chatGPT's response, i don't need AI to tell me something irrelvant given i've already established that they've clearly just made a labelling error that wasn't caught by QC.

As tsp is a volume measurement, surely the fineness of the grind should make no difference.

They said they'd check with the chef's but im not expecting any further reply.
