wild foamy

I'd be willing to make you an offer, although no doubt its probably a category C/B now

Let me know how that goes, im thinking of stripping the DT50 right down and starting from scratch now that i have all the parts i need, but dont have the money to get it shotblasted/powdercoated and was thinking about enamel painting it

60mph, 65mph downhill. trouble starting? crank seals, its dead, throw it in the bin and get another one

Fucking hell! , those forks are like bananas!!, hope you are okay and atleast got a claim out of it, may want to claim for injuries aswell, gravel rash in the ass isnt pleasent Doesn't make any difference, they usually add something along the lines of "Have you had any claims or accidents within the last 5 years regardless of fault?" in their quote, thats how the fuckers got away with bumping my premium up by £300 when my suzuki swift got wrote off As for the YBR, they always sound like they are about to self-destruct, i learnt to ride on one of them

yeah, colour change is free, just the cost of a stamp and an envelope.

i wouldnt look right on a cruiser

urgh, dreading taking the spark plugs out, one of the sooties at work has the same model and has told me horror stories about spark plug removal

The battery needs replacing anyway, but i was jumpstarting it off the car so there was plenty of juice, i cant tell wether the fuel pump is a conventional constant pressure one or a metering pump, some online forums suggest that there are contacts in the back of the pump behind the plastic cover, but most of it is broken english

The fireblade wont start, so f*ck it i'll stick to driving from now until summer methink

also, there only seems to be about 5v going to the fuel pump when its cranking over, if i manually wire the fuel pump up to the battery nothing happens

Hey peeps Tearing my hair out with this fireblade, have been trying to start it for the past hour to little or no avail, ive been jumpstarting it off the car as the fireblade battery does not have the power to spin it over for any period of time. No matter what combination of throttle position, choke or swearing i give it the fucker still wont start, just the occasional very loud backfire which the station guards thought was a gunshot and sent out a patrol. now, if this was the XJ600 i would have it running by now, check the fuel is getting to the cylinders, give the sparkers a dust off with a wirebrush whilst im at it, check the spark and maybe if im feeling cheeky give it a dust of carb cleaner to give it that extra kick, but not the fireblade, f*ck knows where the spark plugs are, i think i have to remove the airbox, tank, possibly even part of the carbs to get to them. as m entioned before, it backfires occasionally so something is definately igniting. im all out of ideas

Christ sach, your up late eh?, im only up because im back from a beer call and looking at a very nice CB1000F on ebay in need of "some tlc" oh yeah, my favourite gif atm: for obvious reasons... because of Mumbles and Piddler, my two minis :3, Mumbles sounds like its mumbling at idle, and Piddler because it has a leaky waterpump and leaves a puddle of antifreeze-coloured 'piss' in the car park every time i run it up

Started at 16 when i got a moped and started hanging around with the rest of the "ped crew" most of which smoked, then when i joined the raf i kept smoking to preserve my sanity, gave up for a week during my first afghan tour but then decided to make the most of the £15/200 cigarettes and stockpiled them, i only have to buy cigarettes once every 8 months!

well it would have been too dark to see anything at night

... although tbf, the Dt didnt have pedals!

well i expected to see it climbing over fences and chasing rabbits and shit, but now, the f*cker just curled up to sleep >.<, and this was like, midday... lazy cat

ah yes, if it was a DT50 with the reg G237MYA i would be curled up in the corner crying and masturbating

point and laugh peeps,

put a camera on my cats collar once, was shit, the fucker just sat at the end of the garden in a flowerbed for five hours until the batteries ran out... -.-

theoretically yes, i prefer to spray mine down and cover everything in ACF50 to protect it, making the salt wet will surely only help it bite into the metal?

havent had the fireblade out in the winter, but i used to ride the DT50 through the backroads into the next town to get to school, there were some pretty steep residential hills and sharp bends, it was more just a case of using the engine braking as much as i could, slowing down and lowering my feet just incase there was a slip i would atleast give myself a chance of recovering from it, sometimes were would be impatient cars behind me, but that was their problem, my first concern was keeping myself safe and upright a good set of knobbly tyres helped no end (Y)

fuck knows where he got it, was looking at it on his iphone as we staggered down to tescos to get the stuff after Soar Point served me a john smiths that was 90% line cleaner... will ask him EDIT: Mulled cider recipe

oh no there werent any funny cigarettes, just normal tobacco, i get drugs tested at work the cider was good though, just looked the recipe up on google, bought the spices from tesco and lumped it all in the biggest saucepan we could find, couldnt find a strainer so it was like proper scrumpy

fireblade is tucked up under cover until the sunshine comes out, would much rather be bombing around in my 4wd armchair purely for comfort reasons

was up at leicester uni last night with some old mates, we ended up mulling our own cider and stayed up until 3am drinking and listening to pink floyd, was a very mellow time, man :|
