  4. Got the bike out this morning. Had a cuppa. Got the biker clothes on. Key in the lock, turn and push the starter............................click and nothing. Push again and not even a click, nothing on the LCD display. It's 13 months old for God'd sake!!! Got changed and went off to work in the car. Spent the day thinking about fuses. Got home from work and unbolted the seat to check the fuses, all OK. Did the "fiddle" test and found the Earth lead to the battery was loose. Tightened and it's back to working again. Still peeved as a good biking day missed.

    Out cruising the Surrey countryside today when some twat drags his dog across the road right in front of me, of course the dog doesn't want to cross cos his mate is sitting at side of the road, so he just sits down. Now I love dogs and wouldn't want to hurt one but stupid dog owners is a different thing.

    Hello everyone , i have a dragstar 400 for quite few years now ,still i never found a repair manual for it , only the manual for the 650 ,very similar bu yesterday i wanted to start the bike ,the engine turned over like 1/2 or 2/4 of a turn and got stuck with a <clong> noise , my guess is a valve stuck opened perhaps i will have to investigate by opening the valves covers but does anyone knows if the valves are the same size for the 400 and the 650 ??? i'd like to believe that cylinders are the same size, consequently the heads are the same as well , piston bore probably smaller and perhaps crankshaft different as well. So where can i find a manual for the 400 ?? a…

    Hey peeps. I'm making up some sketches for artwork on the tank on the FUCR, the first idea was a rams head in a pentagram, but some people think it's a bit too dark. The second idea, was two snakes wrapped around a V-twin crank and pistons, will probably end up airbrushing these on and seeing how they look. I'm thinking the bike will be in a deep gloss black with silver detailing, or maybe dark green gloss with nato lettering. Ever since some c*nt bastardised it in the car park I'm struggling to find out where to go with it next, I think a Rickman style front fairing would be a bit ott. Anyone got any suggestions?
