Pattern Rd pistons are designed to run in the watercooled rd,s as well, they are rattly cos the lc eniones run hotter and the pistons expand more, OE is the best bet, but if not Matika or Wiseco PJME will be the people to contact especially if it needs a rebore as well

Good to know you met em mate that Tony is a great guy bloody fantastic paint sprayer merv

are you getting the vibration when it is stationary?? if so it could be and engine problem, one of the aircooled boys had a 400 seize recently when the crank slipped out of true check the timing just in case, wheels wise a loose brake disc??? lost a balance weight on a wheel?? one last thought my 250 had a gudgeon pin circlip come off the piston that caused a vibration and a big groove in the bore

Presumably someone had molegrips on his knackers :D :D :lol:

some tips Christian gaffer tape is ok for temporary repairs to fairings etc for a permanent repair drill holes and lace it up with cable ties, if it moves and it should not then Gaffer tape or cable ties are your friend, if it does not move and should the n WD40 is your friend, whan all else fails get a bigger hammer :D

i see the great snooker player Alex Higgins died today, I was always stuck to the matches when he played, quick and accurate i do not think anyone has ever been the same as him Rocket Ron is good, but the way he just kinda wandered around the table so relaxed and just looked once and potted the ball was amazing, R.I.P Alex and if their is a heaven up there i Reckon you wll be sharing a craic and beer tonight with George Best and the Dunlop brothers

Look out for the Yorkshire strokers guys, Tony with a silver 350B with ally wheels and some other RD,s they will be there

Two whales, a male and a female, were swimming side by side in the ocean. Suddenly, the male whale spots a ship in the distance. He recognises it as The whaling ship that killed his father. Filled with anger, he says to his female companion, "That's the ship that Killed my father! Let's swim closer!" When they were close enough, the male said, "Why don't we swim under the Ship and blow air through our blow holes and break the ship into a million Pieces? That will be sweet revenge." And the female agreed to this. So they each took a deep breath of air, swam under the ship, and blew Enormous amounts of air under the ship. The ship flew into the air and Crashed back to the sea and broke into a million pieces. The pair of whales started to swim off when they realised that the sailors Were not dead, but clinging to pieces of wood and floating in the ocean. The male whale was furious and said to the female whale, "They're still Alive, but I've got another idea. Let's swim around and gulp up all the Sailors!" That's when the female stopped swimming, looked at the male and said, "Oh No... I agreed to the blow job but I'm NOT swallowing the seamen."

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE WORDING AND SPELLING. IF YOU KNOW THE BIBLE EVEN A LITTLE, YOU'LL FIND THIS HILARIOUS! IT COMES FROM A CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEST. KIDS WERE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS. THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ABOUT THE BIBLE WERE WRITTEN BY CHILDREN. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RETOUCHED OR CORRECTED. INCORRECT SPELLING HAS BEEN LEFT IN. 1. IN THE FIRST BOOK OF THE BIBLE, GUINESSIS. GOD GOT TIRED OF CREATING THE WORLD SO HE TOOK THE SABBATH OFF. 2. ADAM AND EVE WERE CREATED FROM AN APPLE TREE. NOAH'S WIFE WAS JOAN OF ARK. NOAH BUILT AND ARK AND THE ANIMALS CAME ON IN PEARS. 3.. LOTS WIFE WAS A PILLAR OF SALT DURING THE DAY, BUT A BALL OF FIRE DURING THE NIGHT. 4. THE JEWS WERE A PROUD PEOPLE AND THROUGHOUT HISTORY THEY HAD TROUBLE WITH UNSYMPATHETIC GENITALS. 5. SAMPSON WAS A STRONGMAN WHO LET HIMSELF BE LED ASTRAY BY A JEZEBEL LIKE DELILAH. 6. SAMSON SLAYED THE PHILISTINES WITH THE AXE OF THE APOSTLES. 7.. MOSES LED THE JEWS TO THE RED SEA WHERE THEY MADE UNLEAVENED BREAD, WHICH IS BREAD WITHOUT ANY INGREDIENTS. 8. THE EGYPTIANS WERE ALL DROWNED IN THE DESSERT. AFTERWARDS, MOSES WENT UP TO MOUNT CYANIDE TO GET THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 9. THE FIRST COMMANDMENTS WAS WHEN EVE TOLD ADAM TO EAT THE APPLE. 10.. THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT IS THOU SHALT NOT ADMIT ADULTERY. 11. MOSES DIED BEFORE HE EVER REACHED CANADA THEN JOSHUA LED THE HEBREWS IN THE BATTLE OF GERITOL. 12. THE GREATEST MIRICLE IN THE BIBLE IS WHEN JOSHUA TOLD HIS SON TO STAND STILL AND HE OBEYED HIM. 13. DAVID WAS A HEBREW KING WHO WAS SKILLED AT PLAYING THE LIAR. HE FOUGHT THE FINKELSTEINS, A RACE OF PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN BIBLICAL TIMES. 14.. SOLOMON, ONE OF DAVIDS SONS, HAD 300 WIVES AND 700 PORCUPINES. 15. WHEN MARY HEARD SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF JESUS, SHE SANG THE MAGNA CARTA. 16. WHEN THE THREE WISE GUYS FROM THE EAST SIDE ARRIVED THEY FOUND JESUS IN THE MANAGER. 17.. JESUS WAS BORN BECAUSE MARY HAD AN IMMACULATE CONTRAPTION. 18.. ST. JOHN THE BLACKSMITH DUMPED WATER ON HIS HEAD. 19. JESUS ENUNCIATED THE GOLDEN RULE, WHICH SAYS TO DO UNTO OTHERS BEFORE THEY DO ONE TO YOU. HE ALSO EXPLAINED A MAN DOTH NOT LIVE BY SWEAT ALONE. 20. IT WAS A MIRICLE WHEN JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND MANAGED TO GET THE TOMBSTONE OFF THE ENTRANCE. 21.. THE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOWED THE LORD WERE CALLED THE 12 DECIBELS. 22. THE EPISTELS WERE THE WIVES OF THE APOSTLES. 23. ONE OF THE OPPOSSUMS WAS ST. MATTHEW WHO WAS ALSO A TAXIMAN. 24.. ST. PAUL CAVORTED TO CHRISTIANITY, HE PREACHED HOLY ACRIMONY, WHICH IS ANOTHER NAME FOR MARRAIGE. 25.. CHRISTIANS HAVE ONLY ONE SPOUSE. THIS IS CALLED MONOTONY.

Mot failure on many counts

The other day I needed to go to the Accident & Emergency. Not wanting to sit there for 4 hours, I put on my old Navy fatigues and stuck a patch onto the front of my shirt that I had downloaded off the Internet. When I went into the A&E I noticed that 3/4 of the people got up and left. I guess they decided that they weren't that sick after all. Cut at least 3 hours off my waiting time. Here's the patch. Feel free to use it the next time you're in need of quicker emergency service. It also works at DSS. It saved me 5 hours. At the Laundry, three minutes after entering, I had my choice of any machine, most still running. Don't try it at McDonald's though..... The whole crew got up and left and l never got my order...

I now see it is not only bikes BMW drivers cannot see, this afternoon i was following another car around a roundabout and the BMW driver attempting to join the traffic tried to barge out on me, and if he could not see this then he should not have a driving licence or even a dog licence

i assume this bike has points ignition 1 have you checked the length of the brushes 2 have you checked the connections to the brushes are correct, if it like the RD,s the connectors need to be isolated from the body of the alternator, 3 you will have 3 wires exiting the alternator all white i reckon, check them for any breaks /shorts etc Merv

took mine on a 60 mile round trip to buy a new camera, quick trip it was, could most likley have got a camera closer too home but that is the nearest Argos shop and the roads are brilliant

think carefully when buying a bicycle seat some colours are not good

Tank cap not venting properly ??? coil breaking down when it gets hot ??? Oh and when you get too my age you go spend time with the bikes to get away from her moaning i will also mention http://tdr250.co.uk/forum/index.php a tdr 250 specific forum, you will find me there as well as a lot of people that know a lot more about TDR,s than me
