wild foamy

we all have to start somewhere, whilst the CBT is very basic it helps keep a lot of us younger riders safe. there are further training programs such as "BikeSafe" which can further help your safety. a bit of experiance goes a long way on the road though, and i perosnally think there would be LESS accidents if us young'ens on 50cc bikes could ride something bigger at 16 so we can keep up with the traffic...

NO WAY! ... i thought i was going to win that... all the best mate, ffs dont kill yourself on it, i hear they are a bit fierce

ooh, look at you Mr. "i wipe my ass", you think you're better than us eh? i sneezed with my visor closed at a set of traffic lights once... light turned green and my mates on peds rode off laughing... , not physically injured but my pride was severly damaged

was a fun day, my mate wasn't able to come out (couldn't get out of bed, more like... ¬¬) so i went there all on my tod, had a wander around, won a tank protector whilst playing splat the rat and saw Mattie Griffin throw a GSX600 around (gave me some ideas for roundabouts on the way home... ) hopefully they have another one soon

is there any way to stop the blistering under the paint?, my DT exhaust is right behind the front wheel and gets caked in sh*t, when i clean the exhaust it tends to take some of the paint off or i find that it has blistered up and is flaking. i did consider making a little brush guard to keep the majority of the sh*t off the exhaust, but much like the rest of my projects i haven't got round to it

Pod filters are cheap, around £5 posted each from hong kong, they don't give a HUGE increase but on my DT50 i did notice a slight improvement in engine pick-up and a deeper exhaust note. a good second-hand exhaust system would be a wise investment aswell before you start doing any mods engine-wise

oh yeh, chicks digg scars when i turn up in my leathers and ripped jeans they all drop at my feet , im so 'ard...

if you ever sell that DT let me know, i absolutely LOVE IT! nice SR btw

not as nice as the FZR1000 EXUP that came blasting past me on the way back from George Whites today, left me nursing a semi for sure... how's the custom artwork going? any neat floral designs?

welcome to the asylum whatever the problem is, its bound to be the one you think of last

does the engine run?

I know just how you feel, i bought a Jawa 350 off ebay in february... pics werent very good, had no idea what the bike looked like, if it turned over, if it was complete, description was very short, won the auction for about £150. went up to swindon a few weeks later with my dad to pick it up in the van, met the bloke in sainsburys car park and he wheeled it out of his van, flat tyres, paint peeling off, flat battery, carb hanging off, covered in dust, rust and sh*t. put it into our van, paid and went back home to newbury. first week or so was trying to get it running, having only been riding 3 months and having literally F/A experiance with engineering and motors i didnt know what i was doing, a seal was missing in the carb which meant the bike would not run i still got that Jawa, it now starts first kick every time and runs very well, i have since sealed the carb up and needs only the exhausts sealing up, new rear tyre and new alternator brushes to get it tip-top again. always keep positive, first stage is getting it running so sort that out first and then you can start thinking about what to do with it in terms of tidying it up. usually once you hear it fire up for the first time it gives you a reason to keep working on it. clean up what is rusty and re-use what you can, if it is something simple like a gasket then make it, don't start buying new parts unless it is really essential to the running of the bike. its all a learning curve, just for some it is steeper than others

i say, if it aint broke, fix it until it is

Hi there, welcome to the Asylum, er... forum. make sure you dont annoy Goff to much, and speak a bit louder when you're talking to Drewpy

i second the woodstove paint, cleaned most of the rust and sh*t off my downpipe with a wirebrush and then gave it a couple of coats of paint, seems to be holding up well also used it to touch up the cases, some fo the paint rubs off where my boots are always up against them

yep, saw the whole program on iplayer earlier tonight, was awesome XD

:lol: Haha, that got my lols on

yes, this is the Big blue dragon im talking about (jawa), it seams the standard "Style" bikes had a set of spannies, where as the "De Lux" versions had chrome one-piece pipes, so i dont think these are aftermarket. will probably try the silicone gasket trick and see if that helps

a Tachometer is the "proper" name for a rev counter so its the tacho cable you need EDIT: im assuming this is the TDR125, as you have no other bikes listed in your profile?

just watched the MotoGP on iplayer, should make the journey there a bit more interesting. knee down over the magic roundabout, hell yes!

even then i doubt the mainboard would be able to take such a high spec CPU. you will most likely have to replace the mainboard and CPU, and on a laptop that is easier said than done

friend of mine hit a pidgeon along the B-roads a few days ago, he wasn't hurt and the pidgeon was fine, but it made me laugh

me and my matey will be along on Sunday at approx midday, should be able to hear us coming a mile off! ^^
