  1. not sure i would want that as a brake bleeding pump, but i could think of summat other than a nipple to put in the gobby cows gob at the end
  2. TBH the bigger tyres we used where low profile thinking about it now, so they retained the rolling radius but there cannot be much difference, and speedos are not really that accurate especially as they get older the small difference in circumference will not make much difference i reckon, the K82,s are tube type only a lot easier to fit than tubeless i know that from experience i use bridgstone BT45.s on the RD,s now real pigs to fit but they stil need the tubes, actually i have just fitted Metzler Lasertec,s to the TDR and am very impressed, I just need to see how they last now
  3. I reckon you could go 300 front 325 rear ya know, in the sevenbties the 250 came with 300 front and 350 rear we used to fit tt100,s/roadrunners 360 front 410 rear no problem
  4. aha just checked it does not look like they do a 275
  5. Dunlop K82 have the old TT100 ziz zag pattern and quite resonable from Vintage tyres
  6. On the 7th of may by the loks of it RIP John

  20. Supposedly true letter Dear Mr Addison, I am writing to you to express our thanks for your more than prompt reply to our latest communication, and also to answer some of the points you raise. I will address them, as ever, in order. Firstly, I must take issue with your description of our last as a "begging letter". It might perhaps more properly be referred to as a "tax demand". This is how we at the Inland Revenue have always, for reasons of accuracy, traditionally referred to such documents. Secondly, your frustration at our adding to the "endless stream of crapulent whining and panhandling vomited daily through the letterbox on to the doormat" has been noted. However, whilst I have naturally not seen the other letters to which you refer I would cautiously suggest that their being from "pauper councils, Lombardy pirate banking houses and pissant gas-mongerers" might indicate that your decision to "file them next to the toilet in case of emergencies" is at best a little ill-advised. In common with my own organisation, it is unlikely that the senders of these letters do see you as a "lackwit bumpkin" or, come to that, a "sodding charity". More likely they see you as a citizen of Great Britain, with a responsibility to contribute to the upkeep of the nation as a whole. Which brings me to my next point. Whilst there may be some spirit of truth in your assertion that the taxes you pay "go to shore up the canker-blighted, toppling folly that is the Public Services", a moment's rudimentary calculation ought to disabuse you of the notion that the government in any way expects you to "stump up for the whole damned party" yourself. The estimates you provide for the Chancellor's disbursement of the funds levied by taxation, whilst colourful, are, in fairness, a little off the mark. Less than you seem to imagine is spent on "junkets for Bunterish lickspittles" and "dancing whores" whilst far more than you have accounted for is allocated to, for example, "that box-ticking facade of a university system." A couple of technical points arising from direct queries: 1. The reason we don't simply write "Muggins" on the envelope has to do with the vagaries of the postal system; 2. You can rest assured that "sucking the very marrow of those with nothing else to give" has never been considered as a practice because even if the Personal Allowance didn't render it irrelevant, the sheer medical logistics involved would make it financially unviable. I trust this has helped. In the meantime, whilst I would not in any way wish to influence your decision one way or the other, I ought to point out that even if you did choose to "give the whole foul jamboree up and go and live in India" you would still owe us the money. Please send it to us by Friday. Yours sincerely, H J Lee Customer Relations Inland Revenue
  21. Welcome mate I have just replied too your clutch cable question merv
  22. 1 ,Sorry in devon england so not really any help too you in aus 2, yes it is summat the average mechanically minded person should be able too do, 3/4,I have a feeling this is very similar too the Rd setup, so no need to drain oil, one tip as when you pull the old cable out tie a piece of string to it so you can pull the new one back without having to remove fuel tank etc, there should be a smaller cover on the casing giving you access to the adjuster screw and it,s lock nut, when you have fitted the cable and replaced the sprocket cover remove this cover, then screw the clutch adjuster on the handlebar right in as far as it will go, then undo the lock nut on the adjuster in the casing screw the adjuster in until it just touches the pushrod then back off a 1/4 of a turn hold the screw with a screwdriver and nip up the lock nut, then adjust the handlebar adjuster to give you 5 mm of free play on the lever merv
  23. Well they have him but who will step in too take his place??? Basically it is just summat for the yanks to crow about, I cannot se getting rid of him will stop all the looneys out there in their tracks mev
