I gots me a Jawa :D
Its not something you would see everyday on the streets, and aslong as it goes i dont really mind... there was an FS1M on ebay a few weeks ago went for £277, i would have got that if i'd had enough money... Just doing a quick google search, a few people have put RD350 front suspension on their Jawa bikes, so that maybe something to consider instead of getting the originals ground and re-chromed. also they have added Delorto 28mm carbs... could put a nice new colour scheme on it aswell, maybe flip-paint, Dark green to dark blue or a fade...

I gots me a Jawa :D
This is a 94/94 (M reg) bike, and if my 1990 DT is autolube i would expect the later Jawa to be aswell, only time will tell, lol couldn't pick it up today though ice was too bad and we wouldn't have been able to get up the drive, so im in the process of arranging to collect it from swindon mid-week

I gots me a Jawa :D
wasn't aware you could do the SORN declaration on the web. im making little notes of what ive got to check/do to the bike when i first get it and sending away for the logbook is the first priority, then delcaring SORN once the logbook is recieved... not quite sure where starting it should come into the equation...

I gots me a Jawa :D
eh, good point... it may not be the fastest of the geared mopeds, or the quietest, or the most reliable, or the prettiest, or the most fragrent, or the easiest to start in cold weather... but cor'blimey does it put a big grin on my face when i ride it , ive had a few "mates" from school offering to buy it for considerably less, but i want it to go to someone who would look after it and not trash it, it gave me my indipendance so the least i can do is let it go to a good home . Blackhat: where abouts is the staff show? if my DT will make it that far then sounds fun

I gots me a Jawa :D
lol, inbetween breaking things, flirting with Goff and scratching my head a lot, i do like to contribute a bit of humour to the forum ive been watching a lot of videos on youtube and these little Jawas dont look that bad, could always put some trail tyres on it and thrash it around the fields, tkaes the same 18" wheel that is on the back of my DT

Stolen Mk1 Escort
Robbing bastards... will keep my eyes open down here in the south, best of luck with finding it, it wont get far now us lot are looking for it

I gots me a Jawa :D
the bloke i bought it off is going to call me tomorrow and let me know if the ice has melted and he can get it down from his dads garage. it does kick over and the kickstart is present (doubles as the gearchanger) so i may be getting somewere here ive got 8 months to play with it as i only really bought it as a long-term project for when i turn 17 and want something with a bit more poke than my little DT. i will be joining the Jawa owners club as they have a wealth of spares and knowledge for these old bikes... hopefully i will be able to get it running by the end of the week, then just make sure its structurally and mechanically sound, then new tyres, brakes and a chain/sprocket set already got the V62 form to apply for a new V5C, and the V89 Form to declare it SORN until i am ready to ride it, will print them out tomorrow before i go so then i can get cracking as soon as i get back

The kickstart on Jawa engines is also the gear lever, you push it in and twist it upwards about 120* and kick it, then push it back around to the normal position for gear lever usage. i didnt buy it to make a profit, i bought it to tidy up so i could use it for when im 17 and have taken my full test, ive ridden a CZ180 and that was LUVERLY, if all else fails i will streetfighter it My DT was a money pit, spent about £500 on it since ive had it and i will not see that money again, but i do it because i absolutely love to tinker! Goff; dont s'pose you've got a spare room you wouldn't mind renting out? , i'd kip on your washing line if needs be

I gots me a Jawa :D
hi everyone. erm, ive bought a Jawa 350 off ebay, need to phone the "ol' man" tomorrow and see if he will take me 50 miles to gloucester in the van to pick it up on sunday... far as i know its a Jawa 640, 350cc "Blue Sport" its... erm, well lets just say its a restoration project, it needs tyres for a start, front forks need rebuilding, no doubt a battery, brakes, chain e.t.c but it gives me something to work on for my 17th. but hey, bought for the sum of £172.99, can't be THAT bad... oh shit, only now do i realise what ive done... JAWA 350 SPORT

Weekend's Here....
Working im a sales assistant at currys so im on my feet all weekend dealing with angry customer who get all pissed off at me because their TV doesnt work or because we dont have something in stock, getting about 6 cameras off display only to find the people who were "interested" in buying one can't make up their minds. but i gets me a few hundred quid every 4 weeks and i need the money to fund my addiction... i reckon i can shoehorn another bike into the garage

Possibly another new bike lol
i asked in pro-bike if they would take my DT in part exchange for a honda CB250 and they laughed you would probably get more for it selling it privately, then put that money towards buying the 950

WildFoamy's Aquatic Advice Column
put some activated carbon into your filter and get as much of the meds out as possible, if he is not eating then that is a bad sign, possible internal parasites but i doubt it. under the circumstances i dont think you really need to isolate him in another tank, i only tend to do that if another fish has finrot, parasites or something else which can be passed on to the other fish. put some activated carbon in these as soon as you can and check to see if he is improving

some sort of python or adder on my left forearm, and possibly a celtic dragon on my right arm and possibly my own custom "Firefly" on my back

Can I fit a rear spocket off a thunder cat to an 05 r1
an 05 R1 has 10.5mm mounting holes and so does the thundercat, but the R1 has 130mm between the mounting hole centres wheras the TC has 150mm, the R1 has a 110mm inside diameter as opposed to the TCs' 130mm inside diameter, so the Tc sprocket would be way too big try JT Sprockets, they do a 47T and i use them on my DT, never had any problems http://www.jtsprockets.com/52.0.html?&...uid=2459&p=
