    Sorry folks, I had a wreck on some RailRoad Tracks, was unconscious in ICU for 9 days, then transfered to a Rehab Hospital for 9 months. They wouldn't let me have my cell phone or laptop so I was only able to communicate after I got home. They called it an TBI and have put me on Disabity. I had my helmet and leathers on, which they cut off of me. I got three brain surgerys and the Dr.s say very fortunate to be in the shape I'm in. I still have the 82 parts, and will try to followup on you inquiries.

    my xv535 failed for the exhaust being stamped "not for highway use"(i never realised this and it had passed the last 2 yrs at the same garage),after some kind advice from another forum i was informed that a little bit of tape over the offending words would be enough for it to pass.......it did and only got an advisory for being loud so if anyone has this problem it might help.

    Please, i can't be the only person in the country who is sick to death of the bass music people are 'playing' these days. A dull repetitive thud that can be heard half a fucking mile away but isn't actually loud. Still bores into your head like the mother in law though. I could clearly hear it over my DT yesterday, and the lads car was a good 50 meters away thud, thud, thuddity thud. Its brain killing. At least black sabbath used words.

    Well I can't make any rallys for the near future as I have received a nice, unexpected, tax bill for £1200. It also slows my TS rebuild. I still haven't brought my new trousers and one leg is now split up to the knee (they look so bad that Big Issue sellers are giving ME money). I need a new rear tyre so am going to get both changed and can't make up my mind between Avon Storm 2, Avon VP2 or Conti Sportattack's. So another £250 to find. My subscription to Classic Motorcycle Mechanics has finished. West Ham United are doomed for relegation. All the bikers have vanished now summer is over. Although I did P off a XJ6 rider this morning as I kept undertaking h…
