I ain't got the swan neck. More like a defender looking type? Someone was asking about an American type hitch other day also.
And I have caravan socket along with trailer socket, I've also got an orange switch ( like from the 80's) on my dash with wires under bonnet just dangling around

ISO 45001:2018 compliant? I can help you there on my next visit. Mates rates tooSelf employed mechanic at my own garage at home
I have to fill in paperwork and keep some of it and send the rest of it to myself
All sat quite happily ticking over and no fan at that point. I'll check the electric thermostat.
I had no concerns about an overheat..
My MV F4 1000R came with plastic fan blades that melt in traffic (swapped very quickly with Muzzy ally ones) Why? Because the fans are driven by crank gearing apparently. So slow engine speed in traffic, slow fans blowing air through the rads. Ridiculous. A lot of owners do an electric fan mod or add manually switched in Ducati fans. They do cook your nuts I can tell you. I had an aftermarket ECU fitted that dropped the fan on temp to 85C, a flashing 115C was not an uncommon sight when riding through London.
Right off to MoT the bike now.
Mark I hope your arms getting better mate. Honey is a good antiseptic by the way and good for burns once the initial heat is out of it

First bike i ever had age 13 was a New Imperial 250 TTmodel. I bought it from a lad at school called Mike Shallow for ten bob (fifty pence to our younger readers). Stripped it down and rebuilt it, reg was HG4497. Next was Franny Barnett 197. Next was 250 Enfield clipper. Next and last DBD B34 Gold star. Reg 507PTD. Had two mates kill themselves within two weeks of each other thought it was about time to move to cars. Because i was dafter on the bike than either of them.

FN FAL not to be snubbed in 7.62, very capable. 5.56 is bit girly but cheaper on range.

7.62 would solve most problems.. 5.56 struggles to make it out of the packet..
Agreed. GPMG with the ball/incendiary/ap/tracer link is Queen of the jungle, SLR, LMG, MP5, HK56, M60 not too bad but hard to shoot accurately, Steyr is also not a bad weapon. Sig 9mm pistol also very nice
In my sh*t list = LSW, SA80 in all versions that I have used, SMG, Browning HP

Agreed, but SA80 should always be at top of that list IMO
