  11. Mervin from Another Mervin you could at least give ema scottish group I give you the one and only unmistakably the best thing to come out of the highlands RUNRIG
  12. To be honest who gives a fuck, it is good entertaiment, best comedy show on telly at the moment i reckon, allows us mere mortals too look inside of cars we could never afford, and maybe Clarkson is crashing into reality with his love of the Skoda yeti
  13. Well i have just taken my TDR tank off thankfully only light surface rust underneath, so i have soaked it in ACF50 for now will be investigating further when the weather is better I:E rub down coat kurust then primer then some kinda paint
  14. I assume this is a vacuum tap. it has a small pipe fromthe tap to the inlet /carb as well as the fuelpipes i which case it could well be the same as my TDR down for on, middle for prime up for reserve i think i am sure someone will be along to confirm/ correct my comment soon Merv
  15. paul i started reading this and it has all the symptoms of a 2 stroke seize, then read XT, not sure about who makes the pistons but there are cheapo chinese offerings for XT,s around, started searching ebay and came across this now that has a 4 stroke barrel and a mitaka piston the only one i have found though, the guys quote of 57 mm seemed possible but everywhere i looked the dates where wrong so i could not reply too that Anyhow lets see what happens valve seals are generally at the top of the valve stem under the spring while you have it torn down it would pay to replace these as they can make it smoke and you should have em in a gasket set
  16. Best of luck matey first bike 400 I:E FZR 400, 400 Blandit, honda 400/super4, i would say
  17. Sweet man , I like that a good job done there
  18. Ok 1. what is the state of the barrel cos if the piston is scored the barrel is possibly too,in which case you willl need a rebore and piston, 2. pistons, Is the shop quoting for gen yam?? are you looking at cheap chinese pistons, at the very least buy a mitaka or prox pison kit anything cheaper will not last 3. why did it do this in the first place? have you fitted an aftermaket exhaust and not altered the jetting too suit??, are you running it without the air filter or fitted a diferent one ??? did it run out of oil??? all these things need addressing before you start using it again and it seizes again in short order
  19. From Thomas Cook Holidays - listing some of the guest's complaints during the season. 1. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts." 2. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned 3. "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was surprised to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all." 4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels." 5. A tourist at a top African game lodge over looking a water hole, who spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate". 6. A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she'd been locked in by staff. When in fact, she had mistaken the "do not disturb" sign on the back of the door as a warning to remain in the room. 7. "The beach was too sandy." 8. "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white." 9. A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick and strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time. 10. "Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women." 11. "We bought' Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five Euros (£3.50) from a street trader, only to find out they were fake." 12. "No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled." 13. "There was no egg slicer in the apartment..." 14. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish..." 15. "The roads were uneven.." 16. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took the Americans three hours to get home." 17. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends' three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller." 18. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation’. We’re trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying there?" 19. "There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners '-- now -- live abroad'." 20. "We had to queue outside with no air conditioning." 21. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel." 22. "I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite." 23. "My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."
