  1. Mujibar was trying to get a job in India . The Personnel Manager said, 'Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except one. Unless you pass it , you cannot qualify for this job.' Mujibar said, 'I am ready.' The manager said, 'Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink and Green.' Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, 'Mister manager, I am ready' The manager said, 'Go ahead.' Mujibar said, 'The telephone goes green, green,..........green,green, and I pink it up, and say, 'Yellow', this is Mujibar.' Mujibar now works at a call center. No doubt you have spoken to him. I know I have.
  2. Ok now as you passed your car test last year that was after 2001 so you need to take a CBT to ride a bike, 50cc restricted too 1.5 bhp or something and 30 mph and you will not need L plates i think. but the same CBT counts on the 125 as well, so you only need too take one CBT, I am sure your car license will have the bike provisional on it so no need to send away for it , just check, when i took my bike test 4 years ago i did not send off for anything, I took my car test back in the seventies though, merv
  3. no front disc i thinks from that pic that is just a FS1 no DX cos no disc, you will soon get the anoraks telling you on ebay merv
  4. any idea what type scottoiler, lubetronic,the scottoiler is connected to the bikes inlet somwhere the vacuum operates the oiler clear rsevoir, this sounds like lubetronic electrically operated black resevoir, you just have to squeeze oil in very steadily if it is, merv
  5. how much free play do you have in the clutch lever, if you have more than about 2.5 mm then this could be the cause your clutch is not disengaging properly, the cable needs adjusting which should be a knurled adjuster on the end of the cable at the top, screw it out until you only have the 2/3 mm of free play at the end of the lever if your clutch slips then screww it back in a little, Merv
  6. just an ordinary FS1 from around the mid eighties i would say, where are you , merv
  7. yup claim from the council see if there is a section on their website for reporting road faults and see if it had been reported previously all will help, devon county council pays out more in compensation now that they spend on the roads, will they never learn Merv
  8. I have got a few bits in the shed left over from my sons fissys so if you need bits ask we may have it merv
  9. after some research the 3F6 model code relates to FS1DX list here for all to see yam codes merv

    alexsignio

    Where is he has he dissapeared with Ric from the RD forum? got a little oil discount thing he can set up for members merv
  11. Wow wog 30 that would be banned here, oh yes from some of Kev wilsons stuff i know you refer to italians by that name down under, here it is used as a derogatory term for people with very very dark skin. anyway good choice have fun merv
  12. Yes the ordinary XS seat from the the seventies early XS maybe similar, i can list you a few differences but that is irelevant, the XS seca is a different animal
  13. would have thought that a 250/350 lc would be closer than a aircooled as they were made around 82 Merv
  14. Have you made sure the pivot is free, maybe worth taking it off and cleaning and lubricating it, Try a master cylinder from a more modern bike that may be cheaper and easier than replacing the whole lot, the brakes on the RD 250/400E,s were not brilliant in fact worse than the earlier RD,s when Writebike tuned and modded a 250 to attempt ot get 120 mph from it he fitted a modern master cylinder while retaining the old caliper and he said the braking was greatly improved, merv
  15. some research is this picture correct? if so i would imagine the linkage is bent somwhere
  16. not knowing too much (stuff all actually) about the bike i cannot say exactly what is inside. but i would imagine the gear change shaft is bent, that is if the lever connects direct to the shaft, if you have a linkage between the lever and shaft check that is not damaged Merv
  17. Well back on ebay, on here, freeads, adtrader, put an ad in the for sale section here with what you have done to it where you live some pics and how much you want merv

    engineers

    I have seen a few of these before but never all together at the same time Comprehending Engineers - Take One Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?" The second engineer replied "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want." The second engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit." Comprehending Engineers - Take Two To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. Comprehending Engineers - Take Three A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, "What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!" The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!" The pastor said, "Hey, here comes the greens-keeper. Let's have a word with him." [Dramatic pause] "Hi George. Say, what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?" The greenskeeper replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group of blind fire-fighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime." The group was silent for a moment. The pastor said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight." The doctor said, "Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them.€ The engineer said, "Why can't these guys play at night?" Comprehending Engineers - Take Four There was an engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all things mechanical. After serving his company loyally for over 30 years, he happily retired. Several years later the company contacted him regarding a seemingly impossible problem they were having with one of their multimillion-dollar machines. They had tried everything and everyone else to get the machine to work but to no avail. In desperation, they called on the retired engineer who had solved so many of their problems in the past. The engineer reluctantly took the challenge. He spent a day studying the huge machine. At the end of the day, he marked a small "X" in chalk on a particular component of the machine and stated, "This is where your problem is". The part was replaced and the machine worked perfectly again. The company received a bill for $50,000 from the engineer for his service. They demanded an itemised accounting of his charges. The engineer responded briefly: One chalk mark $1 Knowing where to put it $49,999 It was paid in full and the engineer retired again in peace. Comprehending Engineers - Take Five What is the difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers? Mechanical Engineers build weapons, Civil Engineers build targets. Comprehending Engineers - Take Six Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of the human body. One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints. "Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections." The last said, "Actually it was a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?" Comprehending Engineers - Take Seven Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet." Comprehending Engineers - Take Eight An architect, an artist and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress. The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship. The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there. The engineer said, "I like both." "Both?" Engineer: "Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the lab and get some work done." Comprehending Engineers - Take Nine An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess". He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want." Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?" The engineer said, "Look I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."
  20. yes i like to a bit more individual, but too many people are buying seat leons now so may have to get something different next time, merv
  21. I am sure this has been posted here before, but to the newbies who have never read it before please post this on to another forum especially car ones if you subscribe to them as well, maybe if it kicks one supid cager into looking in the mirror before they change lane it will be worth it anyhow here it is it will bring a lump to your throat I saw you roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by. But you didn't see me driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window. I saw you frown at me when I smiled at your children. But you didn't see me when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless. I saw you stare at my long hair. But you didn't see me and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love. I saw you roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves. But you didn't see me and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none. I saw you look in fright at my tattoos. But you didn't see me cry as my children were born and have their name written over and in my heart. I saw you change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere. But you didn't see me going home to be with my family. I saw you complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be. But you didn't see me when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane. I saw you yelling at your kids in the car. But you didn't see me pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me. I saw you reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road. But you didn't see me squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn. I saw you race down the road in the rain. But you didn't see me get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date. I saw you run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time. But you didn't see me trying to turn right. I saw you cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in. But you didn't see me leave the road. I saw you waiting impatiently for my friends to pass. But you didn't see me. I wasn't there. I saw you go home to your family. But you didn't see me. Because I died that day you cut me off. I was just a biker. A person with friends and a family. But, you didn't see me. Repost this around in hopes that people will understand the biker community. If you don't repost this, It sucks to be you. I hope you never lose someone that rides. Have a great week my friends: "Tears are unspoken words that the heart can't bare to say".
