  2. Good man FJ !! I'm glad you enjoyed our beautiful island . Try catch one of the roadrace meets next time . You'll love the family atmosphere , not to mention the exhilarating races . Ccheck this -

     This event is held near where you were . 

    The rain is all part of the fun , lol !  I like this vid too , -

     

    You guys should get over to see it if you haven't already . It's just a ferry ride away .

    These boys are true heroes of motorcycling !

  3. Hi Drewps !  Longtime !!  Those wheels look great . I did something similar, but not half so well executed ,with the wheels for my LC .  I've all the parts together ,including a brand new crank from Norbo ,  and am hoping to start putting her together very soon .  Kev .

    this paint will take clear laquer too (tried a swatch) so easier to keep clean

    I wouldn't worry about laquer on the back wheel . The Scottoiler will provide a protective oil mist , lol ,.   Those Scottoilers are the business tho' .

  4. A young pal of mine recently completed his cbt . Said it was worth every penny . His quote on an AX100 wasn't much more than mine on the CG . Carole Nash seems pretty good .

  5. Hi guys , I got lost in the ether there for a bit . The google machine wouldn't hook me up at all . Tried that Firefox yoke . In like Flynn !! Missed you guys , lol !!

    Oh , the LC's come on a bit . Chassis' pretty much sorted , new swingarm kit etc . She's on her wheels . Time to spend some cold hard cash . Gonna order a crank and gearbox bearings from the RDLCcrasy site . Can't wait !!

  6. HAha! Does anyone remember those plastic trailie tyres that had a thread pattern like a Cadbury dairy milk ?.  I think they were Cheng Shin . I still get nervous when I think of those , and I still have those round scars on my hips !,

  7. Haha !  Years ago my girlfriend's dad bought her a VW Golf (petrol) .  Being the nice chap I am I told her I'd fill the tank for her . And I did , yep right to the brim with diesel !  Luckily enough the lads at the filling station had a pump thingy to drain the fuel . Refilled with the correct motion lotion and away she went , just the odd cough , hiccup and/or  belch of funny smelling smoke . Oh , and the car was fine too .

  8. Hi Spike . Unless the tank has rust there's no need to go back to the metal , esp if you'll be painting it black .  Just  "flatten" the gloss on the top layer back with some fine wet and dry paper .  Depending on  the condition/colour of the tank you mightn't even need primer . Simonis Hard Black is a good all round paint and it's pretty cheap .

  9. I reckon it could be to do with the oil level Grouch . Just guessing though .  Check the level just to make sure it's tip top mate . If it's still running ok in a couple of weeks but the lights still coming on some strategically placed insulating tape would do the job for me .  They don't call 'em idiot lights for nothing !  Keep your ear out , and don't wring the plums off it till your sure .
