Whats The Last Thing You Bought?

Nice milling machine!

 

How’s it working out? I’ve a similar one that needs a bit of nursing regarding weight vs leverage. On the whole is works but not like one of those fancy rabaconda ones

 

Last thing I bought - Kiess heated gloves at eye watering money a few weeks ago and not had chance to use them as yet.

 

I haven’t used it properly yet. I was going to change the tyres on a Yamaha 175 using it but the centre shaft diameter is too big for the smaller bearings on its wheels so I used a piece of screwed rod to try and hold the wheel in place. It did break the bead really well but the wheel wasn’t held good enough to remove the tyres with it so rather than making up something to hold it correctly I just used tyre levers to change them. I think it should be ok on more modern wheels though but I haven’t tried it yet.

 

@Dod i found it had the same problem. The idea is good although it needs some work

 

Although have yet to pay the money the deal is agreed so the last thing that I have bought is this:-



1999 Honda Shadow VT600 with 19,005km on the clock the tyres might very well be the originals so are being replaced it's been serviced but due to the New Years disruption it will be a couple of weeks before we can take it for registration, it's an import from Holland, we are aiming for the 14th it will depend on tyre delivery and exactly where they are coming from when they arrive.

Very nice Plezier, enjoy....ride safe.

 

Well I will certainly try to but not for a little while yet:-

1) it's too darned cold with snow and ice .... No thanks.
2) not supposed to ride yet on doctors and surgeons instructions.
3) not got the bike as yet was supposed to be 15th ut dealer was taken ill.

Have agreed through his son that as there is really no rush due to my not being allowed to ride that we can wait while his father gets better now if that is next week or next month it does not really matter as the deal is that he is assisting with the paperwork of registration and transporting the bike to KAT. It makes no difference it it sits in his workshop or my store as long as it's here registered and ready when I am cleared to ride and it's warmer and drier that is all that really matters.

Latest purchases have been a new Arai RX-7V EVO helmet and an Aoocci C6 Pro Display together with their rear facing radar Blind Spot Detection system which gives me dashcam cameras front & rear, TPMS, rear facing radar with a 30m range detecting upcoming traffic plus car play which means my iPhone can stay in my jacket pocket rather than on the Quadlock mount.
