So I was cleaning out and saw where I have been throwing the boxes of most of the phones I have bought since I started working! And of course all the receipts, quite interesting! This does not include the Iphones as I buy only used ones after the hype has gone down. Now all the phones where given out with the exception of the Infinix zero and another new one both stolen at gun point. 3 Likes

The major reason is very simple... Sedentary lifestyle As men get older they become less active as someone else does most things for them that someone else most times is their wife! The woman. The women are still active because they are still taking care of the home, activities like cooking, going to the market keeping the house clean washing among others. Adds more years to An active man on the other hand will live as long. An example is the old men in the village who still farm, men who are still engaged in exercises. In summary exercises are good Washing car, sweeping, mopping, cooking, going for walks and stretching are light and good 3 Likes 1 Share |

phantom53:The bikes used by dispatch riders are usually 200 to 250cc, some of them are naked while others have the sport fairings look. They are not so expensive used but the new ones are. Anywhere they sell dispatch bikes is a sure bet. Jiji is also a good place to look, other bikers is a another source, but if you still can see the one you like you can import from China check e_bikes on Instagram. |

Clutch play adjustment. Today I adjusted the clutch cable to achieve the right "play"/slack, apparently it was too taught. Adjusted at both the handle lever and the clutch case. - At the clutch case loosened the upper nut away from the bracket and pushed the threaded end of the clutch cable casing downwards - turned the lower nut towards the bracket - Check the play - tighten and loose both nuts until desired play is achieved - tighten both screws towards the bracket At the handle bar - adjust the knob clockwise one turn at a time - check the slack after each turn - measure to confirm the play - Plan was 4mm but I left it at 3mm play - too early to drink malt today  I also installed a phone holder and charger while I was at it, mounted it with the mirror 3 Likes

Rear Break pad change... So I was planning about 600km road trip on Simba. Created a checklist to ensure the bike was in top condition. The rear break pad didn't pass the check as it had worn to almost flat, even though it was still performing optimally. The front pads on the other hand is still full. So I ordered 3 sets of break pads, two set for the front and I set for the rear. It eventually arrived and I will be replacing the rear pads only while the front will be stored for future use. Went to YouTube to watch the how to, closest video shows that rear tyre has to be removed to change the rear pads, too much work as I don't care about removing the wheel! Went to my e-manual so that I didn't need to remove the wheel. My steps for this replacement where 1. Put the bike on its centre stand 2. Remove the split pin keeper 3. Remove retaining pin using a screw driver and a hammer 4. Remove the pads 5. Press back the caliper piston using a screw driver 6. Install new break pads 7. Install the retaining pin 8. Install the pin keeper 9. Press the breaks several times 10. Drink a can of malt� 4 Likes 1 Share

uwemjack:After further research the rated battery size for the BMW f800st is 12v /14ah against what I have in it which is 12ah instead of 14ah, maybe this is contributing to the battery drainage or not. So price range for the new 14ah battery ranges between 28k to 68k depending on who is selling and brand. Since the only thing I don't enjoy is opening up the bike and removing the battery to charge in the house every time the battery drains. I came up with the idea of running cables directly from the battery head to a point on the bike where I can charge the battery without opening or taking it out of the bike. More like a battery tender With this I will not need to buy a battery yet and it will cost me less than 2k. So I ordered 2 set of ready made cables with installed fuse and waterproof insulated connectors, 1 set from the battery and the other set from the charger with both having socket and plug for connection. Pics 1 cable from battery Pics 2 cable from charger Pics 3 typical connector Pic 4 installed on bike and connected to battery charger. I connected to the battery and tied the excess cable to the fairing close to the forks. Tested and it worked! 2 Likes

Grip Puppies So I recently went for a ride and forgot to pick my gloves, I was maybe 500m from the house when I realized no gloves on, instead of going back i decided to ride on, it was a mistake! The handlebar rubber on the bike is very worn! I should add that I have been experiencing some discomfort and numbness on long rides The ride was like 64km to and fro and boy the discomfort was "worser"!!! it just would not happen again!!! Thankfully i had ordered grip puppies which is just 4mm of foam that slides on the handlebars and acts like padding, the pair delivered was at $1.25, it reduces transmitted vibrations and discomfort or numbness. I had it on my other bike. Video of the installation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP6NU9JWJSk 2 Likes

Fender extender So the front tire splashes mud on the radiator, oil filter and oil cooler when I ride especially after it rains or while it's raining. The aftermath is an eyesore! To eliminate this, I installed the fender extender ordered from China it came with the screw, nut and washer. As you can see after a ride today on a wet road the radiator is still clean, not same for Oil filter and cooler. Installation was easy, just remove the fender, align mark and drill both fender and extender, screw, bolt and tighten the two parts. Then install fender back on the bike. 3 Likes
