here's an online petition set up by a good guy and OYB bike training owner Alex Pinch, doing the rounds about delaying the launch of the MTC (New Super Test for Bikers) until all centres (across the country) are open. The DSA says they’ll all be open within 12 months, so why can’t they delay until April 09? This will affect the industry at a time when the country is facing a financial crisis. This affects all of us, with some new riders being expected to ride a 3 hour round trip, just to get a licence and that’s not safe. Please pass this on, it deserves our support.

Wrong bike beware BMW riders merv

Harley Davidson the best way to convert petrol to noise without the disadvantage of horsepower

Does it roll back ok in neutral with the engine running merv

sounds like the clutch is dragging to me is it properly adjusted , could be a bit too much freeplay at the lever/adjuster or is it the wrong grade oil, Does it get better if the engine is hot? that would point too oil Merv

Polish em and then coat em with WD40 or something in the mucky weather in the long run lacquer is not so good it yellows and cracks especially the modern acrylic stuff , dont use the ordinary carplan/duplicolour etc lacquer it washes off again with any solvent near it. if you must lacquer them use either palstikote clear gloss clear coat or metal protekt or halfords petrol proof lacquer, or if you can still find it cellulose, the halfords is a bit of a pain to get right best way is too put it on in thin layers and prevent runs dont worry if the finish is not good put plenty of layers on and ruvb it down with very fine wet and dry after about 6 weeks as this is how long it takes too harden merv

it is good to go to a tyre manufacturers website especially if you have an older bike fitted with modern tyres . for example the air cooled RD,s had recommended tyre pressures of 23 front 29 rear in the instruction books, with modern rubber they handle a lot better at a higher pressure i think 26 f 33 r as recommended on the manufacturers websites merv

yup you cannot shift those type of bikes without drawing attention. so hopefuly they will be found. my thought is the more people that know the better so can anyone who frequents other forums cut /paste the list onto them please merv

On the first day, God created the dog and said: 'Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.' The dog said: 'That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?' So God agreed. On the second day, God created the monkey and said: 'Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span.' The monkey said: 'Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?' And God agreed. On the third day, God created the cow and said: 'You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.' The cow said: 'That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?' And God agreed again. On the fourth day, God created man and said: 'Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years.' But man said: 'Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?' 'Okay,' said God, 'You asked for it.' So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our famil y. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone. Life has now been explained to you.

The VOODOO PENIS A Florida businessman was getting ready to go on a long business trip, so he thought he'd buy his wife something to keep her occupied. He went to a sex shop and explained his situation. The man there said, 'Well, I don't know that I have anything that will keep her occupied for so many weeks, except...the Voodoo Penis!' The husband said 'The what'? The man repeated 'The Voodoo Penis’ and pulled out what seemed to be an ordinary dildo. The husband laughed, and said, 'It looks like a dildo!' The man then pointed to the door and said, 'Voodoo Penis, door!' The penis rose out of its box, darted over to the door and started pounding the keyhole. The whole door shook wildly with vibrations, so much that a crack began t o form down the middle. Then the man said 'Voodoo Penis, return to box!' and the penis stopped and returned to the box. The husband bought it. He took it home to his wife, And after the husband had been gone a few days, the wife remembered the Voodoo Penis. She undressed, opened the box and said ‘Voodoo Penis, my crotch.' The penis shot to her crotch. It was absolutely incredible. After three mind shattering orgasms, she became very exhausted and decided she'd had enough. She tried to pull it out, but it was stuck. Her husband had neglected to tell her how to turn it off. So she put her clothes on, got in her car and started for the hospital. On the way, another incredibly intense orgasm made her swerve all over the road. A police officer saw this and immediately pulled her over. He asked for her license, and then asked how much she'd had to drink. Gasping and twitching, the woman said 'I haven’t had anything to drink officer. You see, I've got this Voodoo Penis thing stuck in my crotch and it won't stop screwing me...' The officer looked at her for a second, shook his head and replied, 'Yeah right...Voodoo Penis, my ass...!' The rest, as they say, is history....

I reckon you would need the swingarm not sure about forks are yours 34 or 35 mm the early yams had 34 mm forks with larger spindles than the later bikes, the E modles with the single piston calipers had the 35 mm forks, the 250 C wheels would be the best bet with drum rear Merv

just watch the old chalfonts mate chalfont st giles = piles merv

you maybe able to go rear drum wire discfront with an early Rd wheel set Merv
