So how exactly do you pull a threaded cap with 5mm deep threads out of
the fuel tank without mangling the thread or destroying the tank?

 

The following post is brought to you with the aid of insomnia - an
ImfuckedbutIcantsleep product, available at all good retailers...

You do just what I said - its a fairly well known and well used trick
amongst owners of older Beemers.
There's enough give in the metal.

In fact it's here: http://www.motobins.co.uk/services.php about a
third of the way down the page.

I never needed to do it to mine, but I did astonish some poor bugger
in a Belgian filling station who was having difficulties. On that
occasion a metre of nylon rope did the trick, along with a little tip
I passed on: don't screw it down tight, just tighten gently and back
off about an eighth of a turn, when you feel resistance.

There's plenty of thread before the filler will rattle out.

 

How many things can go wrong with what is effectively just two models
of bike?

This one made me laugh out loud: "One of the Few unreliable parts", in
a list about a mile long of what regularly goes wrong with BMW boxers
and Ks.

Piles of shit.

 

I've got a pan of Fava beans simmering on the stove and a nice bottle of
Chianti breathing in anticipation of when we meet.

PS - My name is not Nige, and my tadger is not numb.

 

You really don't want to take the piss out of a Sontaran warrior, no matter
how fat he is.

 

I had to google that, not being sad enough to watch Dr Who! but I like
it now ;o)

 

Don't you start .....You looked just plain freaky without a beard.

Look, this is Bear's liver we're discussing. You're a big lad an' all,
but that'd feed you for a week.

 

He looks like James Garner's idiot son.

 

IWHT Bear's liver would be too toxic for human consumption.

That does presuppose that Brownz is human.

 

Hmm... well he does seem to have an inhuman capacity for drink...

 

I look like a 50's film icon (1) and girls love it. Apparently.

It shall be reformed the next time I get a two week holiday! It's a
shagging hassle, how do blokes tolerate such messing about for an entire
adult life. It was done to amuse Di anyway.

(1) you can all FRO now
