    never had a prom when i left primary, didnt really seem worried about it at the time either. can't wait until my prom when i leave secondary though, still a few months away but i better start organising something...
  2. will have to check my policy details, i know they are here somewere... ive decided just to take a 58 litre holdall, this can easily fit half a dozen changes of shirts, jeans, socks e.t.c aswell as my maps, camras, Hexamine stover and most other bits and pieces. it also fits neatly on the back seat by means of bungee cords. i already have a small toolkit, consisting of a pair of small molegrips, a plug spanner a nd a couple of normal spanners, this is stowed away in one of the sidepanels on my DT , have been looking into the Gelert Solo tents and i suspect that is what i will get nearer the time. worked out all the distances on my 'puter... 630 miles (roughly) traveling around R.O.I and 200 miles each way from Liverpool to my hometown of Newbury, Ferries £95 return from Liverpool to Dublin
  3. would be nice to go to the TT, but i dont think my DT would make it around the whole circuit and i would probably end up spread across the road...
  4. See?, told ya so my advice is good but a bit abrupt, its like getting a brick thrown through your window then finding a birthday card with gift vouchers attached

    even the tumbleweed got bored and left...
  6. Haha!, good one OG, made me larf... LOL
  7. Selector fork is a good place to start, if that is bent or broken then that would be your problem. failing that, could be the gearbox drum or any number of other internal components, not personally familiar with your bike so can't really help you otherwise m8

    Limos have too many wheels... and everyone seems to arrive in one so its sorta lost its uniquness and specialty... sweet-ass boomtrike though, looks awesome and i bet it sounds awesome aswell
  10. oh yeh, its gonna have a CB radio for sure!... doubt theres any other bugger around to talk to though...
  11. ... would it be possible to streetfighter my Jawa? set of RD350 forks all polished up and shiney, clean up the cases and engine block to make that all shiney and maybe a nice flip-paint job, some nice wheels, spotlights on the front, chrome dials, renthals, aftermarket cans, maybe a tail tidy, arrow indicators, some creative fibreglassing work, longer twinshocks on the back to jack the arse-end up a bit... ... ooh, the creative juices are flowing now...
  12. check your wheel nuts are tight, your sprocket is securely fastened and check your gearbox output shaft for play (possible bearing failure?) not sure about the low-rev judder, could quite possibly be that the carbs need a clean and balancing...
  13. "High heels and pink underwear" springs to mind... i am/was bringing in about £150 a month at Currys (working saturdays only), most of that gets spent on fuel and oil... the rest goes towards my Ford Capri and my Ireland tour, i never have enough cash to spend on shiny bits and pieces
  14. best thing to do would be to call Yamaha themselves or go directly to your yamaha dealer and ask them. i wouldnt have thought there would be any problem getting "both jobs" done on the same day. whats up with the fuel tank?
  15. they have the HJC ones in George whites aswell for £40, only problem is the MX style ones dont have visors. they have a very nice carbon fiber helmet aswell for £100... soooo light!
  16. looks like ebay may be your best bet. some bike parts will fit other bikes, just measure up your rear brake line and go to your nearest parts shop and see if you can find another of similar length, doesnt really matter what bike its from aslong as it works. Rear shocks dont last forever, if its a gas shock you may have to replace it but for what its worth you can get brand new generic shocks off the internet quite cheap (measure up your original shock and find one the same length) you think getting parts for an FZ is bad?, try finding parts for a Jawa!
  17. haha, lol, i often pass my mates on the way home from school, theres a massive hill going into town and i can pull the clutch in, kill the engine and roll all the way down the hill (30mph limit with a speed camera half way) and quite often if i see someone i know walking along, i will drop a gear (engine still cut and clutch in) and just as im going past them let the clutch in, bump-start the engine and scare the absolute shite out of them. haha... good times
  18. far as i know the DT is capable of being used on and off road as it is. My DT50 is 1990 and its fine on the road, make sure you get a good set of road tyres and your all set
  19. not really, the K&N style filter will make it louder and if you put a racing exhaust on then its even worse. everybody says my DT is too loud because i have a K&N and Performance exhaust, but i like it that way
  20. are you sure the filter was installed with the correct flow direction?, it could be that there is some shi*e in your fuel tap and the filter is restricting the flow to the carbs.
  21. could be a blocked pilot jet, or a simple matter of the idle speed being set too low. adjust the idle speed screw (clockwise) to increase the idle speed and see if that helps, if not you may need to clean your carb
  22. ah, good thinking. i may bugger off down to the coast for a week when im on my hols from school... only 2 weeks away
  23. not 100% familiar with the aerox, but usually it will be going into the airbox which acts as a restrictor, blowing hot (exhaust) air into the engine and thus reducing power output. most people also drill more holes in the airbox to let more air through, or do away with it completely and fit a K&N filter pics would be nice m8
