Sorry for the site being down guys! Yes the site is now two years old, and the domain had expired. It was setup to automatically renew but my card details had changed and rather than nominet just send an email explaining that the card number was no longer valid they just swithed off the domain... nice hey! Anyway all back up and running and should be stress free for me for a few more weeks until IPB2.2 arrives!

I dropped my bike last friday pulling out of a car park. Just hit some frost on the raod and with cold tyres too it just went from under me. Fortunatley the low speed means the damage is minimal. It was the right hand side and i'v already ordered the new levers, bars, etc, which hasn't come to much and fortunatley i have the standard exhaust in the garage. Anyway it has lightly scuffed the fairing in about 3 places and i'm looking for a descent bodyshop to take the bike too to have it re-sprayed/touched up. I had crash bungs and the damage is so light i believe i could even touch it up myself but i don't mind spending the money to have the bike back to a great stan…

hi, unfortunaitly, i have purchased a kwak. ive just run it home (helston, cornwall) from Llandrindod wells in wales (300 miles) on the run, i heard no abnormal noises. when i got home, it was run arround (priety aggressivly i might say ) and once again i heard no problems. when i got home, no abnormal noises. ive left it to cool down for 1 hour, and ive just started it up (because i love the fact that ive now got a 500, instead of 125, and i love the noise) and to my horror, i hear a mild to loud tapping noise from the cylender head at arround 1500 rpm above and below that rpm, the noise goes, but im very tentative to take her out again, seen as my SR's …

I have not been here in some time, but I have a question about rejeting two carbs instead of all 3. the reason is that I put on a new set of 3 into 1 pipes. the right and ctr carbs are much shorter than the left pipe. The pipes are from MAC Pipe co. Ithink that the back pressure is so much less on the right and ctr cyls because of short pipes because the plugs are tanish white on both and the plug on the left cyl is normal color. this is after running 70 mph for 10 miles and killing the engine with kill switch and throttle in same place, with clutch in. So is it smart to put in 1 or 2sizes larger jets on those 2 carbs ? Any help is welcomed, thanks Jim

A teacher gave her class of 11 year olds an assignment: To get their parent to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories. Ashley said, "My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg laying hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the car when we hit a big bump in the road and all the eggs got broken." "What's the morale of that story?" asked the teacher. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket!" "Very good," said the teacher. Next little Sarah raised her hand and said, "Our family are farmers too. But we raise chickens for the meat …
