I phoned my neice who has horses and she said you could give Hayfield Riding school a phone and ask them.

Thanks mike. I did call them as it goes but as usual there was a little girl on the other end of the phone who knows nothing about anything. I think they have to be sent away. Think its only a loose connection in the flex but I suppose they should really be tested anyway.

@Steve. A horse is like a motorbike except unlike a bike it doesn't have a gyroscopic effect and is quite happy to do things not supported by physics or predictable in anyway.

Guy based in Culter travels round hotels /restaurants and anyone else; sharpening knives, garden shears and anything that's blunt!
It's a national company with it's name on the van--sounds like GILBARCO.
Bloke's name is JOHN ALLANACH, nice lad.
Don't know if there's a GMC discount.

Any electricians amongst our guys??

If not--tell me what's wrong and I can ask my grandson who's just about finished his apprenticeship as a sparky.

I've used Clippers HG before, reasonable service & not too bad a price, but of course you have to send them away. Any decent electrical repair shop should be able to replace the flex though. Not used them for a good couple of years & not since we got the Shetland ponies.

Sorry, I've not been on for a bit, so you might have had them sorted by now.

Cheers

Weather? what weather? did nearly 80 miles on the bike yesterday....

Can't say I'd be too keen today though...

We're all well and truly outclassed by the guy I pass most days going to work. Even through last winter he managed to use his bike. And tonight, taking an hour to do a 20 min journey I passed him again going home to Inverurie, nice and steady, queue of traffic behind him, both feet out flat and ready for a slide! alien

Rock on brave biker!!

Thanks Col
I had seen that website but its a bit of a leap of faith posting off a couple of hundred quids worth of machine to a company you know naught about. If you have used them before thats great. I'll give them a bell tomorrow.

And yeah actually two of the horses are garaged lol lol!

They don't do bad weather. Well no more than a play and a couple of snow angels anyway.

The bike is now buried behind a very large bale of hay so no more playtime for moi scratch
