Hee hee!!!!!!!!
According to the Nation-State of Britain, I am Scottish.... But only because they think being born there makes me so.
I have some kind of distant tie to the MacDougal and MacLeod clans, but that's about it.
I lived all my life (bar a four-day bike tour) in England, being raised English and so on. My father's and most of my mother's family are English through and through.
I only claim Scots heritage when it get's me free drinks
Nah, as for the accent - I just happened to be thinking that way at the time.
I'm surrounded by very different and strong accents most of the time, so I latch on to the ones that sound nice.
Mines proppa nice yer knows. It even sounds nice when i tell you to fuck off
I like the scouse accent der like, and the oirish one is blerdy luverly

Why waste your time on the idiot?
No need to lower yourselves. Think of all that time you have wasted when you could have been out on the bike, or you could have missed the parts bargain of the century.
Firstly, I havent wasted any time - thanks for the concern though
Secondly - I could have been out on my bike? Its fuckin icy as hell here and i dont have a death wish thanks very much
Thirdly - i dont need any parts
So in conclusion it will have taken you longer to read, look at the listing, and then come back and reply to this thread than it has for us to have a bit of fun with someone who clearly thinks that its OK to try and flog us overpriced bike parts - and thats just what it is - a bit of fun.
As for lowering ourselves - i like it down here.....

What a noob gary is. I might send him a link to this topic.
And that will achieve what?
Only serves to show him that trying to take the piss outta bikers REALLY pisses us off.
No ones gonna buy it at that price anywhoooo.
Very nice reply from our evilbay mate "gary"
Hi, Yes Thats what my m8 wanted for it but i said he will not get that if you want to make an offer i will let him know as i have so many emails about it its driving me mad,
Regards Gary
In which my reply was - and i thought it was very diplomatic.....
Thats because its only gonna fetch about 40 quid. I'd suggest you tell your "mate" to take a look at the one you bought back in November for for the princely sum of £45 - that should put him straight - bikers might have a rough rep - but we aint stupid.........
Its one of my pet hates when folk try and take the fuckin piss - it happened to me last year, and its one i wont forget - not mentioning any fuckin names......

-
Yea its not hard to work out why we are in the shit too much profit being taken
Exactly. They wanted over 400 quid just for a header pipe for my dragstar
I always buy from our cousins over the pond - ive found a couple on evilbay that are very very helpful and will mark as a gift so you dont get hit with massive charges - thus making it even cheaper!
-
Y'seeeeee.....thats why we dont go to our local Yam dealers for anything.....
-
None of our local places have 'em..... I just asked!!
They're also typically clueless as to if and when they will get them.
Same here, i called Chorley Yam and they didnt seem to know if we would be graced with them at all either.
They are going for aroun $8k so im HOPING they will be within my budget if and when they finally appear.
There is mention of them on the UK yam site, but it says price TBC so fingers crossed they are scheduled to make an appearance soon.
Incidentally there is a full review of it in this months BIKE magazine (apparently) - havent had the chance to get hold of it yet but shall take a look this weekend.

You would be, wouldn't you - It's Classic styled
Yes, yes i would be
You know me far to well Tt The specs list the 950 (Both versions) at 612 lbs - that is supposed to be wet weight, all fluids.Goff, I agree with you, I really like the looks of them too. I had pretty much convinced myself that a 950 Tourer would be my next bike. Then I sat on one. Seriously, you can't get your knees against the tank because the air cleaner (on one side, I forget what it is on the other side) juts out too far.
Im only a shorty so my knees dont go against the tank anywhoo, but as soon as i can find one locally ill go take a look - you have to dontcha lol. Are they even over here in Blighty yet does anyone know?
But thanks for the heads up

Wonderfully tolerant, Miss G!!
I'd have locked him up in a dark room with Pee Wee Herman and a bucket of liquorice allsorts..... Not for his transgressions, you understand. But simply for laughs!!!!!
Hey, it's a free thread - Play with it and have fun, eh?
Indeed - feel free!
sorry about that!best regards!
No problem - at least you had the balls to apologise - and welcome to our forum. I am sure you will understand my reasons for removing the link, we have had our fair share of spam, but if you're genuinely interested in our little playground then please feel free to post it again once you have found your feet on the the forum and got to know us a little
Well I for one would be intersted in a 1300 forum... whats the address!Try here: Linky Linky

I REALLY like the look of these, but would obviously want a go on one before i bought one - but im SERIOUSLY interested.
-
Told him, heh heh!!!!
This is the second time - i let the first one go
-
this is where being an old bastard comes in handy ! (only £5 for oap,s) so i will be going friday or saturday
Its £35 plus £2.00 per call booking fee for my family for the day. Plus food and drink and travel to get there - I bet its almost £100 if not more before we've even bought anything.

My other half wants it on her bike because she keeps burning her leg on the custom exhausts!!
They don't come with heat shields and she's short
Dont bother if you think its gonna stop her from burning her leg - it wont.
I went through 2 pairs of waterproofs while i had this stuff on cos the exhaust is still mad hot and will still burn.
Get her some heat shields made instead.
It comes in different colours (mwah-hah-hah-hah) and, done properly, it looks good.Guy at work has it on his Harley and it looks fantastic.
I had black on mine which soon turned grey - and yes it was done properly by a guy who builds bikes and does them all the time - even he told me it would look shite and he was right.
It looks good on rat bikes, and thats it.

Bus Lane Code of Conduct
A major report commissioned by Transport for London (TfL) on the effects of allowing motorcycles to use bus lanes provided overwhelming evidence of safety benefits to cyclists and pedestrians, as well as motorcyclists.
London’s Mayor, Boris Johnson has announced that motorcyclists will be allowed access to London’s bus lanes for a trail period of 18 months, as of 5th January 2009.
If this trial period achieves its objectives of cutting congestion and reducing casualties, it is likely this will become a permanent arrangement and open the door to motorcyclists to access to bus lanes in other parts of the country.
It is therefore imperative that motorcyclists use the bus lanes properly and responsibly.
The MCI together with support from the Metropolitan Police and riders groups, have produced a Code of Conduct for motorcyclists using bus lanes. The Code covers the TfL rules associated with bus lane use and the etiquette that riders should observe in order to protect and respect cyclists and pedestrians.
The Code of Conduct in brief:
We share bus lanes with other vulnerable road users, take extra care around them.
Be aware of pedestrians walking through traffic queues and at bus stops.
Look out for pedal cycles and give them a wide berth, they may suddenly change direction or position.
Pass cyclists on the offside only – never undertake.
Always assume cyclists cannot hear or see you behind them.
Do not use excessive speed when using bus lanes or overtaking cyclists.
Do not overtake each other.
Watch out for other vehicles at junctions and side roads.
Take extra care when riding alongside congested pavement areas.
We are ambassadors for motorcycling, riding in a bus lane is a privilege that needs to be respected.

I have been told about a product called AC 90, has anyone used this before?
http://www.bazaarbuilder.com/cgi-bin/insto...rchant=instoneb
Just got to your local Halfords/motorcycle shop and ask if you're not sure.
Wurth is one that i recommend but lots of people use lots of different ones, and they all do the same job.
-
Yes, Get the back wheel in the air (Paddock stand/Main stand)
You dont have to get a paddock stand to lube the chain.
Spray it, then push the bike forward (or backwards), spray again, push forward (or backwards) etc etc till its all lubed.
I can see this costing me a lot of money then as I don't have one of them either...See above.....or invest in a scottoiler.
-
even though they havent changed all signboards yet???
Give them a fuckin chance! This was only agreed on the 5th January - its only the bloody 7th today!
-
We would have gone if it wasnt so bloody pricey to get in!
