  1. could create havoc at Benson with that
  2. we have similar problems with helicopters, one of the fault logs submitted by the pilot was "Tapping noise in cockpit, sounds like troll with tiny hammer", to which the engineers report was "Tiny hammer removed from troll"
  3. old news oh for fucks sake... cant get it to embed

    I run LPG in the car 69.9p a liter over at Benson... haven't bought petrol for about 3 months, i havent ridden the bike(s) since the summer and i run pretty much whatever i can get hold of in the generator
  5. I'll try anything once, just ask the missus. i draw the line at sodomy though

    Hi there bud, welcome to the forum and congrats on purchasing what is most probably one of the most bulletproof bikes around as for the blog, use blogspot.com, i have a XJ Turbo rebuild and a DT50 rebuild blog on there, its free and really easy to use
  8. oh its not the same donkey, i fear i will never see the original one again , but this one came about after another post-pub ebay "browse", and sure enough i found in the morning that i had won it for about £70 if i remember rightly, cost me maybe another £70 in gas to go get it
  9. nothing more to say really, my towbar wiring was ass about face so i had to take it apart to get it in the boot Drewps, that is a brilliant photo!, luckily im on the ground floor so no chance of it going through the floor
  10. Was gonna say get out!... -.- DT's are definately going up in value especially the 50MX, my good condition '89 reg DT was sold for £350, but now to get one in the same condition you can expect to pay around £500, and as for the parts, they are worth their weight in gold some of them
  11. that is true, biggest thing i would have to hide would be the wheels, although i could always stick them in the car if someone comes to have a look
  12. not worth the hastle, just shoved it in a box and sent it
  13. its a bit late for instablock, hence why i have 2 DT50s, 2 classic minis and an XJ Turbo :/
  14. yep too true, just hope there arent any alien eggs on this one like there were on the XJ650
  15. Hey peeps, Was outside the block having a smoke earlier when i caught a glimpse of my poor DT, sat over in the car park covered in shite, long story short its now in my bedroom. ive taken the tank/seat off and started running the wires through to make a new wiring loom, other than that this is the condition it was in when i loaded it into the back of my Kia all the way from Colwyn Bay to Didcot . It's just like a little puppy that looks at you with a cute face after taking a dump in your bed, you just wanna give it a cuddle :3 behind it there's a rear window for a classic mini, two mini exhausts sat beside it, a weight bar i never use, a guitar that i seldom play any more and about 5 number plates from vehicles which hav elong since moved on, on the plus side i now have more incentive to work on it now that its in the dry, the downside is that if at any time my room gets a surprise inspection i may aswell bend over and beg them to use vaseline oh, and er, excuse the mess... everything just got pushed aside to make room for the DT

    Shit, sorry to hear about the bad news dude, im sure Karma will reward you sooner or later though. As for the clocks im pretty sure i have an old set kicking around here somewhere depending which parts you want, i had 3 spare sets at one point but i think i gave them all to the new owner when i sold my XJ :'(
  17. personally, i think that most of the drivers just lack the brain power to breathe and indicate at the same time not bitter or anything, just saying...
  18. more than likely a loose wire or the bulb is loose in its holder, take your clocks apart and check all your electrical connections as for the speedo fault check the cable that drives your speedo from the front wheel, chances are its broken
  19. i will admit up until this point i havent had any trouble, most of the other people who bought things from me were really nice people, just this one absolute tosser
  20. +1 for polishing, or alternatively just a nice good clean, if you can remove it and mask it up before sandblasting it before giving it a coat of black enamel then i strongly reccomend it, since buying a shotblaster for my XJ turbo project i cannot praise them enough, although they are a bit messy
  21. Hey peeps, me and my dad recently cleared out all of our old r/c aeroplane gear and ebayed it, one of the items we sold was bought by some bloke in sunderland, i sent him the details e.t.c and he sent a postal order, then over the space of the next 2 days he sent me 6 messages asking where his item was, i dont live at my computer so i didnt read these emails until the third day, but on the night of the second day when i was enjoying a pint down the local with my old man and some friends this utter tosser rings up my old man and starts giving him an earfull about reporting it to ebay and all sorts of shit, my dad didnt really know what to do so gave the phone to me, i then returned the bollocking due to the fact he was f'in and blindin over my dads personal phone which he pays good money for and told him his item would be sent when we get the postal order and to call back when he has manners before hanging up. then on the 4th day i received 3 ebay messages asking where it was, two on the 5th day and two today, i got a message from my dad this morning saying the postal order turned up so we can now dispatch the item and when i messaged this tosser to tell him it will be dispatched he is still being an irritable c*nt. ive had it with being polite, if people want to talk to me like shit then i am more than happy to return the favour f*ckin rant over, i need a smoke and some tender loving.
  22. I can tell you never worked at the Olympics, having to greet the unwashed masses with a fake smile and resist the temptation to feed the horrible little shits some people call 'children' into the xray machine, every second person asking you "but why cant i bring in this 2 litre bottle full of water?" to which i eventually gave up and supplied the answer "because coca cola want to screw you for every penny you have by selling you their water instead" ah, off topic, rant over, i feel better

    You're all barking mad, the lot of you!
  24. It is usually me handling the ladies asses to be fair, hence the lover not a fighter remark. Definition of bravery?, staggering into your house with another womans lipstick on your shirt smelling of her perfume and slapping your missus on the ass saying "you're next, fatty!", did that once for a dare on a night out, took a lot of groveling to get back in the saddle after that... :|
  25. As has been said before, make sure to list an intro, we're not asking for an in depth biography of your life story, just a little about what you like to do, where you come from, what bike you have e.t.c so we can get to know a bit more about you and how best to help you.
