wild foamy

feck tha lot of ya's, t'is my Jawa!, sure its not fast, or stylish... or handle particularly well, and its a bit on the heavy side, and it tears holes in the o-zone layer, and the women point an laugh when i roll by, and its a pain in the ass using premix, and the gearbox is a bit prehistoric... BUT t'is still my Jawa! >

Evenin' peeps, found THIS whilst doing my search for Jawa spares on ebay, made me think about my poor Agro which has been abandoned in my shed for almost a year now... front end spread across the shed in various boxes and bags... brought a tear to my eye... must get it back together for the summer :/, and do my practical test aswell... oh, BTW, if i get a full bike licence can i take the L plate off my DT? its staying for another year now that ive T&Td it so may aswell use it

Fair enuf'... *sits back down*

shit, that brings back memories... i was jumping cars on my DT at that bike night XD

i dont see what all the fuss is about, drove home today 160 miles from cosford to newbury in my trusty little swift with a couple of other squadies hitching a ride, well, thats after i got a bollocking from the RAF Police for doing handbrake turns in the car park ¬¬. places around the world that see conditions like this all year round just get on with it, as soon as the snow comes down in the UK everything grinds to a hault...

take 'em to the cleaners, its about time someone served a bit of justice and if the old bill wont do it then you have to

the jawa has been largely forgotten about tbh, its sat in a sorry state with most of the panels removed and the whole front end stripped down in the shed down the bottom of my dads garden, currently waiting on the forks from the very nice Mr Jim himself and then it can go back on its wheels, have the new brake pads fitted, a brake pushrod made up and (hopefully) get a ticket on that for the year aswell. i hope i dont start collecting them...

Hey peeps, just given the garage a ring where i dropped off my DT for its MOT last saturday and it got through fine with no advisories, will be slapping some tax on it at the end of the week, already payed for the insurance (about £100 third party) and the bike itself doesnt owe me much, so im keeping it for another year. just didnt have the heart to sell it tbh...

mistress Goff?

pah, i could jump that on the DT!

shit, hope the fella/fellette was okay, ride safe peeps!.

just so the peeps know, it aint happenin' on the DT any more... ive still got the little peashooter but now that ive got myself a little lovebus of my own it will be a mere summer plaything. however, im still planning to tour on a bigger bike, maybe a XJ600, however because im currently doing my trade training its going to have to wait until july-ish. so watch this space!, lol

i had a similar problem with my DT50 after i put the indicators back on after stripping it down for painting, turned out i had the indicators wired in wrong so that they were plugged into each others wiring, if you know what i mean... if you unplug the rear ones do the front ones function correctly?, and vice versa with the back ones with the fronts unplugged

your... comments upset the foamy... :'(

just you wait, bwj, as soon as i pass my test and get rid of the L-plates the ladies will all be like "OMG, t'is FOAMEH!" as i cruise past and im like "nah, no more room for t3h lovin' ". 'corse, if Goff ever needs a lift somewhere for the weekend, i wouldnt mind helping out (t'is a hint, ya see?)

no it doesnt say "pension", it says Penton and has a little picture of a horse... not sure what that means but its coming off and will be replaced with a "V8 TYPE-R" badge , gonna pack it out with a couple of 12"subs and some 6x9s this one is the four cylinder 1.3 single point injection version, and f*ck me does it ever go!, got my practical test booked for the 30th december and cant wait

sounds a bit like its running lean (not enough fuel), seeing as it idles fine then the pilot jet should be clear, try cleaning out the main jet. now, removing the carb on the DT is a lot simpler because theres no plastic to get in the way, im unsure on your particular ped but you may need to remove the airbox to get to the carb itself and then undo any nuts/bolts which hold the carb onto the reed block (back of the engine). once you have the carb off, turn it upside down and undo the four screws on the bottom and remove the float bowl. you should now see a little brass screw with a hole in the centre on the end of a small shaft sticking out of the carb body, check the hole is clear and free from any dirt which may restrict the fuel flow, use a nylon bristle from an old toothbrush or carb cleaner (or for best result use an airline to blow through it). this should solve the problem, if not, its probably something else

Yes peeps, i have now got myself my own little love-bus, its nothing special but its quite neat and tidy... only cost me £1,000 too Behold!... Pictures are touch and go at the minute, im using a new linux system and photobucket has decided it doesnt want to work... no idea how to work the other site i used to upload so they may be an abstract size

nah its not that bad... best quote i could find was £2068, as i said in my first post i dont mind paying a bit extra for insurance on a car i like. plus its a 5 door, so i can drop the back seats and chuck a mattress in the back

oh, erm, i was refering to the Honda civic at the bottom of page 3... japanese reliability, plenty of space in the rear for a dual "12 sub box, quite good pimpification potential

was on my way back from basingstoke this morning and went past a local garage, and on the forecourt i saw this: http://www.knightsbridge-carsales.co.uk/153421/knightsbridge_stock.htm looks awesome, but methink a bit of pimpification would be needed (nice set of alloys, drop it about 30-40mm, a pair of 18" subs and a set of alloys

Oh, if only... *sigh* if only i were a few years older... damn youth... ¬¬

haha, cheers fellas, yes my first priority is to move the DT on and get myself a cage for the winter, but ive got my bike theory booked for next weekend and will take my mod 1 & 2 when im on my trade training base in wolverhampton

Cheers for posting that drewps, really helping me kill the time here
