    Posted

    Had a thundercat for 11 months now and put 10k on it commuting and a few rides out

    great all round bike i use mine all year round plenty of power and comfortable on long runs

    get the carbs balanced atleast once a year should help keep the vibration thru the bars down to a minimum

    taking it easy you can get 200 mile per tank of fuel

    Hi all

    I've just got myself a 99 Thundercat totaly standard and very clean with 34k on it. When running around town only does this at low speeds 30mph and under and in any gear at about 2500rpm mark the bike starts to go chuggy almost like the chain is slack or like a V-twin in to high a gear its the only time is misbehaves never misses a beat in any other rev or gear does anyone else have the same problem any ideas as to what it is I'm going to balanced the carbs to see if this helps or is this a common thing with them or is there an other possible issue with it thanks.

    Cheers All

    i did not post to cause offense

    i am like most people in this thread totally against the disrespect shown to our returning soldiers

    i am also fully aware that not all Muslims have the same beliefs of those idiots demonstrating

    i am of the belief what ever country you live in you must abide by its laws and customs

    yet as a country we seem to allow these people to disrespect our troops in this way

    i am not aware of any other country who would allow this to happen

    why should we

    The Uncomfortable Definition of an Infidel .

    Allah or the Lord Jesus Christ? The Muslim religion is by far the

    fastest growing religion in the UK.

    Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for

    maintaining my prison security clearance. During the training session

    there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman

    Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their

    beliefs.

    I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The

    Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a

    video.

    After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.

    When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked:

    'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams

    and

    clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the

    infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a

    command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven.

    If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'

    There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation,

    he replied, 'Non-believers!'

    I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers

    of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith

    so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'

    The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command

    to that of 'a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in

    the cookie jar.'

    He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'

    I then stated, 'Well, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope

    Benedict commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr.

    Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee

    them a place in heaven

    The Imam was speechless!

    I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your 'friend' when

    you

    and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me

    ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to

    kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to

    love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with

    me?'

    You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam remained speechless.

    Needless to say, the organizers and promoters of the

    'Diversification'

    training seminar were not happy with this way of dealing with the

    Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.

    Within twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.K. to

    elect a government of their choice, complete with sharia law

    I think everyone in the U.K. should be required to read this, but with

    the Liberal justice system, liberal media and the political

    correctness madness, there is no way this will be widely publicised.

    Please pass this on to all your e-mail contacts.
