Oh dear. They've had a blow out.

It probably wouldn't have happened with the old deep wall tyres which would have rolled over it ok. Horrid low profile tyres give a harder ride too which fancey types of suspension can't make up for. Low profile tyres generally run at roughly 10psi higher pressure than the old deep profile tyres.

Alloy wheels are not much lighter in weight than steel wheels, and can be a pain in the bum. They look stupid on certain cars like Rolls Royce and Bentley, like a fairground amusement, who wants to look at rusty old brake calipers through the spokes, and wheel nuts can come loose too. As far as spare wheels and punctures are concerned I recomend an aerosol of Latex to fix ordinary punctures on the tread area or leaks around the rim and tyre bead. They do work well if the instructions are followed. No good for tyre wall punctures because of the flexing. Holts ones are the best. I've used em about 3 times and they've worked well. Be careful with the low profile bloomin tyers going over potholes the wheel rims can chop the tyre wall and destroy it. Alloy wheels, low profile tyres and power steering are the best things that ever happened to the tyre trade.

Handcuffs to handcuff you to the tiller bar. unless it pulls out you can't fall in.

I have a lovely network rail wooden ladder which I found abandoned on the towpath beneath a railway bridga, Made a ply inlay for it so it doubles as gang plonk and rescue ladder and for scrumping. I have rescued a lady with it who fell in here 6ft depth, she simply climbed up it and out like lady Godiva festooned with weed.

My cousin Peter used to come and stay with us years and years ago and he insisted that whatever meal my mum made for him it had to have lashings of baked beans with it, After six weeks of school holidays with us his complexion decidedly had turned a shade orange, this is true. Also I've noticed folk who eat big greasy fry ups and the like have a sort of greasy shiny complexion. And often green too. I suppose the body rejects it,

Asparagus is apparently bad for the old water works,

If it's never been done, Narrower than the engine so should be easier, also the reduction gear on the back end of it which they usually have Both have separate dipsticks to check their separate levels. EP 80/90 gear oil in both. The Lister boxes have a brass plate on top saying which box it is. LH 150 OR LM 100

In many old stories. Captain Spencer in ''Billy Bunter and the bank robber'' for example.

Well done you. Only approximately is ok. But use the dipstick to check.

Hence the old saying '' game leg''.

Ah,very good, those caps are usually fixed on too tight. How much oil did you get out ? You could pour it in either. You have got a dipstick to check the level.

My young nephew had gout. He was told to eat less rich foods, greasy fry ups and less booze and it did the trick. Mark Williams tuned up at a world snooker championship a few years ago with gout in one foot. He played with one shoe and one carpet slipper on his feet.

It's deep down under the starter motor which is by your left foot. But that and the engine bearer looks in the way too. The engine oil dipstick should be in front of you looking at the right hand front corner of the engine. You would need a Pella pump which has a long thin tube attached to suck oil out through the dipstick tube once the dipstick is withdrawn..

13.5 pints with oil filter. Mr Badger hasn't got an oil filter so 12 pints . That blanked off circular bulge on the crank case port side side in her photo is where one would be fitted in some industrial uses.

They need to be a bit heavy to aim accurately, cos the wind is likely to blow a lighter weight one off course, I've the old cork filled red and white one and keep it out of the weather.

Badgers oil SR3 oil capacity is 12 pints. Originally oil was sae30 summer and sae20 winter, but diesel 20/50/ or 15/40 multigrade is fine.

Corgi Bike. my first, Bought from a retired female local council rent collector for 5/-.

White Lightening in 2 litre bottles was also good.

Jap bikes used/ use Viton type ''o'' rings in matching machined grooves to seal off crankcases and whatnot, why they don't drip oil. Gaskets on oil cases just tended to shift and leak.

The Japs taimed the motor bike as they did the car and boat engines. There should be a drip tray under the engine or sealed off compartment under it, if so just drain the oil into it and then bail or scoop or suck pump out the old oil afterwrds.

It depends on the hours the engines run, and does the oil look really black. Your engine does not have an external oil filter so I'd probably change the oil. Can you not get to that crank case oil drain plug ?
