Mine is away now, SORN as of today!!
Come out of the yard yesterday to find myself nearly loosing control on ice I thought its not worth it although when snow is on the ground I think I might have a little blast along the street!!!
It's the black ice man it's mental!!

SIZE DOESNT MATTER!!

I got good results with the stout but larger all 3 times was utter shite!
Got to remember everyone tastes are different, you find the ale which doesn't need to much in the way of fizz gets good reviews like the stout!
Maybe you should post up what sort of stuff you like to drink!
-
ive done it!
the best results i got where from stout but thats not every ones cup of tea but i liked it
if your after a decent larger or anything with some fizz you wont get the desired results unless you invest in some kit that can inject co2 into the liquid, these screw on co2 bottles pressurise the barrel but dont inject it into the beer.
ive gone the keg and bottle route and ive never been able to produce a larger with a decent taste and a decent fizz so all in all its rubbish unless you invest in some proper kit or your happy drinking flat beer or stout, i know 2 other people who bought the same kit as me and they both dont do it anymore.
i tried the better quality sugar and yeast also using heater belts to regulate brewing temp, putting the extra brewing sugar in bottles to try and give it some fizz
i was looking into getting the whole pressurised system with the co2 bottle and inline cooler with a bar pump - keeping all the barrels and co2 bottles in the shed running a line into the house where the bar pump would be but to be honest your looking at spending a decent wedge £500+ on kit.
its one of them hobbys where you go whole hog or dont bother, wine i do belive is a different matter and alot of experimenting in flavours can be acheived, ive done some rose wine for my girlfriend and she drank them bottles quicker than the local tramp knocking back cider
you will get pissed no doubt but i rather drink for taste hence the reason i dont do it anymore
cheers

hello there!
wish i had bikes as a young lad unfortunatly my mother was very against them so at the age of 30 i got my first bike, easyer and quicker to learn when your young just wish my mother wasnt such a narrow minded bint

i get nodded at on my dt all the time i nodded at a kid on a moped then realised my mistake and gave him the middle finger, no chance of him catching me lol...
mine is parked up as of tomorrow, i locked up on the way back from work today even with brand new semi offroad tyres on costing a small fortune - no tyre can conquer the mighty black ice at 6am trust me
-
my dt125 r is running to the redline following all these steps so im happy however i would like to point out that people should also check the sprocket ratios on there bike.
mine pulls away like an animal but tops out at 60mph at the redline so im looking at a new sprocket set (original sizes)
cheers

i havent bought it, he was supposed to be borrowing my trailor to pick it up but he used someone else's so i havent seen it yet!
im not sure about this now as he let slip that he found dog biscuits behind some plastics so it sounds like mice have been using it as home the thick twat didnt realise what they where off until i said it could be mice storing food lol.
im still interested but i'll be knocking the price down a little me thinks

i have also been taken in by the chinese rubbish also - best one i can remeber was the exhaust bolts on exhaust coming loose and the burning hot exhaust down comer pipe flicking up at my face was a solid pipe from the exhaust port along to the end can which slotted on....
my firends said i had the look of pure sock in my eyes like walking into your parents bedroom and finding them dressed up in gimpsuits getting jiggy with it

i got that effect when i used petrol proof laquer then sprayed over the top with black when i never got the laquer right didnt realise it would go all cracked...
you could spray with a bright orange then laquer then black so all the cracks would be a different colour - now that would look different

a work friend of mine has a full fairing yam fz1989 with less than 8k dry miles, seen pictures of it and its totaly original and has been dry stored since 1995 covered in a sheet in a lockup on a farm.
now the person who runs the farm has sold up he has no space for the bike so its been offered to me for £1k...
does anyone know anything about these bikes? are they good? £1k a good investment?
he has told me it needs a new battery and a good service.
been sorn since 1995 i cant even belive he kept it for so long and the condidtion is immaculate.
any advice welocme
cheers

sounds to me like there might be something between the pads and disk...
we had a little bit dirt between the pads and disk on front of our company car and it made such a high pitched screaching sound - off with the wheel and in with the jet wash lol! problem solved
what happens to the noise under heavy braking? you might get away with pumping the front brake a few times get them pads bedded in.
just an idea

diy all the way but know your limits
sometimes its better to take a knowlegable friend out for a couple of pints "on you" when you are stuck and ask the questions about what ever your doing get all the information you need and with any luck you might get a helping hand - works on everyone apart from my old man cos he is a lazy old tw4t...
got a lot of biker mates and one of them used to race 2 smokers so first thing i done when i got my dt was take it up to him and he advised me on tuning also offered to help me do the topened rebuild as i built him a custom pc a bit ago.
It's that time. Who is putting their bikes away?

you all make me feel like a puff!!!
i live in a small country town and when its cold its bad, to a point our car cannot be put on the drive because none of our street gets grited and its full of hills, most cars abandoned on the side of the main road while people walk 20 mins to there houses because they cant get up the street "its a feckin joke" - my girlfriends granny has just slipped over on the ice and broke her hip so she is in the rvi having a hip replacement as i type this....
most of my friends have road legal quads and 4x4's
