  1. Thinking of going to the last Moto GP of the season in Valencia in November but don't know

    whether to fly or ride. Anybody done the trip got any hints about where to stay etc?

  2. I see that the races at Aberdare park on the 18th & 19th of July this year are on the same

    weekend as another good day at Pembrey with the NGRRC meeting. Who are these

    morons who decide the dates ??

  3. 85 venture has no spark on front cylinders at idle. rev to 2000rpm and spark is good.also tach drops to 0 when it happens. new plugs, plug caps,wires. checked tci for moisture. bike has been sitting for three years.any help would be appreciated.

    Looks like a problem with the tci unit not sending pulses to the ignition coil feeding the front two cylinders as these

    are also used to send info to the tacho. If it were mine I would take the tci unit off and leave it in the airing cupboard

    for a few days and try again. I assume the battery is ok otherwise you wouldn't be able to start it.

  5. An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the world.

    So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Orlando , thinking that he would start by working his way across the USA from South to North.

    On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read '$10,000 per call'.

    The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for.

    The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God.

    The American thanked the priest and went along his way.

    Next stop was in Atlanta . There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same looking golden telephone with the same sign under it.

    He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in Orlando and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was.

    She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God.

    'O.K., thank you,' said the American .

    He then travelled all across America , Europe, England , Japan , New Zealand .

    In every church he saw the same looking golden telephone with the same '$US10,000 per call' sign under it.

    The American decided to travel to Wales to see if the Welsh had the same phone.

    He arrived at Llanelli in Carmarthenshire, Wales and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same looking golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read '40p per call.'

    The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign. 'Father, I've travelled all over the world and I've seen this same golden telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but in all of them price was $10,000 per call.

    Why is it so cheap here?'

    The priest smiled and answered, 'You're in Wales now, son - it's a local call'.

  6. Just seen that Donnington park will host it's last Moto GP for a while as Silverstone has secured a five year deal for the races. They reckon that after adding a 500m section between Abbey and Beckets it will be the fastest circuit on the calendar. Last time I was at Silverstone, the front row on the grid consisted of Phil Read and Ago on the works MV's, Barry

    Sheene on the Suzuki and I think it could have been his brother-in law Paul Smart making up the numbers. Those were the

    days!! Last year saw the end of the Moto GP coverage on Eurosport. I'll surely miss the exciting and well informed commentary by Julian, Toby, and Randy. I hope the BBC can offer something better than of late and also coverage of the

    125 and 250 races which often are more nail-biting than the larger class. Roll on Qatar 12 April.

  7. Try Jawel Paints, based in Birmingham. They do mail order and will mix any colour you want. Reasonable prices and quick turn around too :D

    BTW, Google will find you the phone number :)

    Many thanks, I'll give them a try in the morning.

    All the best

  8. Just bought a Maxim 700 for restoration and the paint on the tank and the shocks has faded a bit. Where's the best place to find aerosols for it or the paint code so I can get my local car repair shop to mix it up for me?

  9. Hi to you all, I've just bought a 1984 Maxim 700 which needs a bit of TLC. Never had a Yamaha

    before but had plenty of British bikes over the years and one Honda. I gather I've found the best

    site for finding bits a nd pieces for it. Nice to be here.
