wild foamy

I once bought a piece-o-crap 6-string acoustic from a local in afghanistan, made myself a strap out of paracord and leccy tape, everywhere i went i had that guitar across my back (rifle sideslung) and for some reason everyone i happened to meet or come across wanted to play it or toy with it, but i also carried a sharpie and if they wanted to touch it they had to sign it. by the end of my tour i had hundreds of signiatures, people from all over the world; afghanistan, england, scotland, estonia, italy, america, canada, norway & sweden to name a few. i sent that guitar back through surface freight as they wouldnt let me on the plane with it, when it got back to the UK it was like a box of matches, needless to say the payout for a nameless afghan guitar was about a fiver so i didnt bother. I bought a 12-string indie off my mate when i was pissed last year and still got it, havent picked it up for a good 6 months though, maybe one day i will get back into it.

Hey peeps. is there anything stopping me from removing the killswitch from the bars and simply shutting off the ignition from the key? i.e. will it pass an mot or any inspectionwithout one? trying to neaten up the bars on the FUCR, luckily i still have a set of clubmans under my bed so they will have to suffice for now. plan is run the bare minimum, possibly jawa style ignition whereby the key is turned beyond the ignition position to illuminate the lights.

bodging is under rated, it may just be a 'get you home' solution, or it could be a survival situation, i keep a mini compas sewn into my belt and a mars bar in my toolkit. you never know.

So where's this golden rivet i keep hearing about, shippers? O.o

there's over a couple of thousand people on site at any time so could be anyone, the only available parking is over near the airfield a fair walk from the nearest accomodation with next to no lighting, my trailer did go missing for a weekend a few months back but it reappeared and was promptly locked to a lamp post across the road (shortly followed by a parking ticket from the RMP for 'parking out of bounds') thumbtacks under the door handles was my initial deterrent after some dickweed milked the petrol out of my FTO and then tried to do it to my GTO the next week, the traffic wardens received a tip-off from said anonymous dickweed and i was told to remove the thumbtacks.

To say i am majorly pissed is an understatement. just been to move project FUCR from the long term car park to the works car park where i can work on it, only to find some theiving f*cking scrote has had away with my ace bars (including the top yoke!) and the dual headlight unit (bought for £60, never even been used). this is really starting to boil my piss. Not only this, about 4 weeks ago i happened to be driving past the caravan park at the end of the runway, and noticed that the rear lights on my caravan (i was pissed on ebay, its another project) have been stolen, the front locker prised open and the gas bottle nicked along with the electronics panel that was inside (sold on eBay and waiting to be packed, so i ended up refunding the buyer and receiving neutral feedback). you'd have thought that being behind barbed wire with other people in the same boat would bring with it a certain amount of security seeing as we are all in the same boat here, but it appears not. yet if i bluetack drawing pins to the underside of my door handles to deter would-be thieves i get a bollocking from the coppers and told to take them off. i'd personaly like to find the scrote that keeps doing this and rape his fucking soul, rant over, fuck this shit.

Don't stand underneath a chinook then, I once had to fix a fuel leak overseas with 'materials to hand' (cut a gasket out of the side of my boot...) did the trick and got us home though!

RNAS Yeovilton? Used to send out merlins down there for depth maintenance, they never used to like you walking on the grass, used to shout man overboard out the window and make you row back to shore (tarmac)

Get an FJ1200, slap on some decent radials and hang on to your ballsack.

Welcome bro, cracking bikes them DTs, i had a DT50 when i was litte(er)... got another one now...

anything can be fixed with lockwire!, the entire air force is literally held together with it...

Not surprised, did you see the pitch on that prop!

always best to have them fresh!... true story; my first sort of job was working in my uncles bakery making mince pies over christmas, used to mix the dough, stamp them out one by one, cut the lids and put them on, was the most mind numbing experiance ever, cant so much as look at a mince pie now.

I dont know why you all hate it, its a touching story about diversity, maybe we could all take a valuable lesson away from it?

... Surely one is longer than the other?, and thus one goes to the cylinder most further away?

It performed very well, I lost my clutch control coming out of Loomies so went via Odiham so I could swap out for the master and slave cylinder I had from the breaker bike, ever since its been finex I suspect the pitting on the slave cylinder walls are letting air back in. Only thing that is letting it down now is the oil leak on the rocker cover, I've ordered a new one through my mate who works at the local dealer, but once I got onto the A40 and A406 and was stationary it started to smoke up through the fairings on account of the leaked oil sat on the downpipes, needs a downpipe exhaust seal aswell as it blows and rattles around in the collector box Nevertheless, I went from Salisbury to alton, odiham, London and back to Salisbury in one day, near enough 200 miles and I can safely say it's gonna be a keeper, even treated it to heated grips now!

I run Firefox om the foamytop and chrome on the mobile foam, I just quote more than anything.

Calm down girls, your makeup will run

Omg let's make special edition XS250 tshirts!

"Loomies last day of trading will be Sunday 26th October" was written above the cafe on the blackboard when I was in there yesterday

Oh my, that is definitely well beaten!. Last year I dragged one out of a hedge, gave it a scrub up, got it going with new tyres and such and sold it on, barely made my money back but learnt a lot about them, post up a list of your jobs you want to do as there's a few other Sr owners on here I'm sure can lend a hand. Oh, and welcome to the forum.

I don't care either way, came back today with an ace cafe t-shirt, that's good enough

I do miss my XJ can i buy one of yours?

Yeah was full of lowered VW golfs and BMWs out the front so all the bikes were shoved over by the bins at the side

It's cool peeps, there wasn't much life at Loomies this morning, apparently tomorrow is going to be the day for most people to visit. Ace isn't too bad, it's full of German 4-wheel crap at the moment though!.
