wild foamy

so?, me and my mate are coming down on fifties, my poor ickle DT is going to look so shite compared to all the GSXRs and R1s

hopefully they will have enough hotdogs left at Superbytes by the time i get over there, last time i got the last one and split it with my mate. almost managed to drop an Xt660 a few weeks ago... sat on it and stood it upright, went to put it back down and as i got off it went forward and came off the sidestand, managed to catch it and pull it back up, looked very sheepish and moved on to a GSX650F which was VEEEEERY nice surely we arent the only two going?

Welcome to the asylum.. er sorry, forum

swinton were quite good, managed to get my DT50 insured for £200 3PF&T. (first time rider, leaving it out on the street e.t.c) best place to go is gocompare.com it may be because your bike is so new

shit, maybe they saw me doing 150mph flat out on my DT down the M1 last weekend with my biatch no the back, no helmets, using petrol i didnt pay for and 3 tenbags of weed under the seat whilst taking a line of coke off the tank... ... i got an A in english for my creative writing piece of coursework

ha, i dont have that problem, i am happy to announce my trusty thrusty pocket rocket is now running on all cylinders... have you checked the kinippety pin?, they are made from unobtanium so replacements can be hard to find

Yep, i'll be down there on my trusty thrusty DT, maybe i will be going home on a nice new '09 R1

Cheapest quote for the Jawa is now £304 from Express Insurance (found on gocompare.com), with swinton quoting a massive £544!

i knew they were watching me!... everyone said i was crazy but i knew i was right nobody is safe... the blue haddock flies at midnight, the jelly is out of the doughnut... ... i was never here

ooh look, its even got a little cubby hole in the front for all her make-up and mobile phones i shouldn't mock really... i've only just learnt how to txt when you planning to put an Arrow exhaust and big bore kit on it?, i reckon you could get it to do atleast 50mph... BTW didnt get round to recovering my jawa seat, i need to get another job first so the DT is running on fumes and im scrounging lifts to school from my parents again...

looked on google for for the specs and its saying: Rear tyre is 90/90-17 Front tyre is: 100-90-18 got the two figures mixed up, my bad (http://www.fixya.com/motorcycles/p981306-jawa_640_style_super_luxe_2004) Yet on mine it has a 4.00-18 on the rear and 3.50-18 on the front... O.o

update: Jawa currently has a 3.50-18 on the front and a 4.00-18 on the rear ... what do all of these different numbers mean? does it really matter if i use different brands of tyre for front and back?, it already has an Avon on the front which has loads of tread left but the rear one has a bit of a square profile to it and needs replacing.

did you have it running? the telltale sign is a constant knocking which increases as the revs rise, but if you have already stripped the engine down then as mentioned above check for up/down play on the con rod (hold the crankshaft and then move the con rod up and down/side to side e.t.c)

tried google, busters seem to be the cheapest ive found so far. havent solved the charging problems yet, will check the brushes today and replace them if needs be (new set is £10 mail order) i left my job at Currys, just couldn't stand it any longer, the amount of hastle i got off the customers and the managers was unbelievable. ive applied at some other places for work so im now waiting to hear back from them

hi everyone. just shopping around for some Jawa tyres, i think im after a 90/90-18 for the rear and a 100/90-18 for the front. whats the best place to get cheap tyres?, the front is okay but its been stood in a shed for 7 years so i would rather replace it, the rear deffo needs replacing. cheapest rear tyre i found is a Cougar 126 from busters - £26 http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk/produ...p;kw=90%2f90+18 cheapest fornt is a Michelin pilot sporty - £38 http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk/produ...;kw=100%2f90+18. the jawa restoration is coming along slightly but due to being out of a job i am focusing more on the mechanical side of the project now. sealed the carb and got it running today, starts first kick

the "43F" is teh first 3 digits of the chassis number, often used for quick identification of a specific model/period of bike.

*crackle of a CB radio* "Anyone got a 10-13 up ahead?" "its thick as pea soup out there, better back it down a little" "10-4, Presshaydit"

My bike still has top trumps cards stuck to the spokes... last tiem i sat on it the handlebars were in my chest and the seat disappeared up my arse... ... ive had it for about 10 years though, so its to be expected that ive outgrown my little green jungle bike

white lining could indicate low tyre tread? give that a check as the legal limit is 1mm for motorcycles and "visible tread" for scooters suspension is probably designed to be hard because its a race rocket style bike, on my DT and most other trials bikes it is a lot softer because its designed for rough terrain

tbh id much rather be tearing through a country road with a dollie grabbing onto my handles, much more macho than riding pillion with a woman rider... wouldn't be seen dead riding pillion on a scooter though... or riding a scooter at all for that matter... in response to the previous question; yes, the DT can take a pillion guess that has blown my wounded tactic... time to play possum instead...

the air leak is the most likely cause of the erratic idling, had that problem with my jawa and it turned out there was a gasket missing from the reed valve assembly. the overheating would also be caused by the lean running, so check your system for perished seals, broken gaskets and rotten rubbers

im at that young, influencial age the $3.88 was... erm... just a low reward

... your spiteful comments upset the foamy...

you bet!, one things for sure i'd be making a few changes for the good of us younger bikers... *rolls up sleeves* but not right now... past my bedtime already ...

Hmm... scooters... in normal circumstances i wouldn't touch them with a sh*tty stick. although the new Jogs look quite bitchin', and the Speedfights can really fly if you derestrict them right. suppose we all gotta start somewere eh? Whats the matter, Goff?... afraid my overwhelming youth would give you a heart attack? (not to mention heart ache?) i promise i'll be gentle (BTW, i'd prefer a copy of Superbike to Hustler...)
