    I meant lose a bit of my furniture :-)

    At least I've unhitched my trailer.

        Don't those things come with thousand watt music systems, or was that a custom mod a cousin of mine did to his?

        If it has a decent music system just have a cop car/ambulance siren recording on your mp3 and play it when approaching roundabouts. All the other traffic will stop or be paying a lot more attention looking for the blue lights, giving you chance to make progress.

        Alternatively leave the sofa at home and get something more suitable for town traffic.
        Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

          The bike is Y reg. That's Y the first time around, 1983 in other words.

          It has a factory fitted hifi system in keeping with the era; radio and cassette player in other words (with a very nice pair of Wharfedales set into the fairing)

          I've looked into swapping it out with something more up to date but it's hard to do if I want to retain handlebar controls, intercom, and CB functions.

          Consequently I'm probably one of the few people left who retains an extensive audio cassette collection.

            You should be able to add an Aux or just use a tape adapter should cost you £1 on eBay.
            Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

              Don't buy the cheap rubbish. The only one that works well is the Sony one.
