    Tonto and the Loan-Ranger are on horse-back, crossing the outback plains, As they are going along they can see nothing for miles only a few trees, Then out of the blue, Tonto stops, So then does the Loan-Ranger, "Whats up", says the Loan-Ranger, Tonto just says "sushhhhhh, be quiet", A few minuets go by, then suddenly Tonto jumps down from his horse, drops to his hands and knees, puts his ear down to the ground and starts to listen, "Buffalo Cum", he says, The Loan-Ranger looks arround but cant see any buffalo anywhere, "how the hell do you know that" he says, Tonto rises from his knees, puts his hand against his face and says, "Face Sticky".

    Hello everyone, my name is Michael (no surprises there) I live in Northumberland, so I'm fairly spoiled for great riding roads and green lanes. I've been riding since the age of 15, both on road and off. I started with a Yam FS1SE 50cc 'Chicken Bike' moved up to a YB100 before passing my test on a borrowed RD80LC. After briefly owning a Suzuki X7 (monoshocked with a RD350LC rear end and then an RD350LC engine!) I eventually saw sense and acquired a brace of genuine 350 Elsies Absolutely fantastic bikes that introduced me to truly quick riding. An old friend of mine still has his from all those years ago, but I have thus far been disciplined enough not to ride it…

    Hi. I am new on here despite owning my Thundercat since I was 19yrs old. I have not had it on the road for two yrs since I bought a new Honda 600rr and now want it back on the road! It failed an MOT last yr on rusted downpipes and have just taken them off etc and am looking for replacement ones. Does anyone have anything to offer on replacement ones in terms off what to get. I know some people say aftermarket ones don't always fit easily!!!! I would buy replacement non stainless if necessary. I would be doing arounf 500 miles per year at best!! I look forward to hearing what people think. Thanks Rob

    Does any one know where the 2 rubber pipes that are connected to 2 tee connectors from the bank of 4 carbs go, the other 2 pipes coming from the carb 1 vacum pipe going back to the fuel tap and the other is the fuel line , the only thing i can find is a breather pipe connector at the front of the fuel tank. Having no air filters fitted or vacum pipes connected / crank case breather pipe cause the bike to be difficult to start and run erratic as is the case thanks Dave
