wild foamy

as far as careers advice it has been available but ive chosen my own career path(s) my first choice would be an aviation technician (mechanical) for the RAF, ive already passed the selection test and went for my interview last tuesday, now i just need to go for a medical and a fitness test and hopefully it should all go well and i will be able to get in. alternatively, an apprenticeship at AWE, took the aptitude test today and passed so just need to book an interview i was considering being a courier for something to do on the side, i love riding motorbikes and being out and about so it seemed a logical choice.

thanks for the info Amanda, wasn't something i had really considered. think maybe being an S.E.R.V would be a better idea, still can't do it on the DT though.... maybe when the Jawa is on the road

wish i had heated grips on my DT... got thermal inners and oxford bone dry gloves but still my hands are freezing after half an hours riding... not so bad now the weather is warming up but chsritmas was horrible for biking... will beffo get some heated grips on the Jawa though... Mmm... Toasty

i was looking in the classifieds dont get paid for another 2 weeks but hopefully then i will be able to join, until then i will have to keep syphoning petrol from 'er car... also i can't pay on my card which is a pain in the arse ¬¬

LOL, makes a usefull bike rack though...

hi everyone. think ive found out why my Jawa is a bitch to start and wont run right, seems the little rubber bit that goes over the manifold end of the carb and into the reed block has perished slightly and is a bit of a loose fit, to the point where the carb can be moved/tilted/twisted by hand. but finding a replacement is proving to be a bit challenging. anyone know how i can fabricate/find a new carb rubber? (its a 28mm single carb), tried all the "Jawa specialists" but to no avail, nothing on the owners club webby either...

PM = Personal message, like a text message but through the forum instead of on phones

make sure your plugs are okay, it may just be that its been laid up for the winter and needs to have a good blast to clear away the cobwebs

well, its only 230 odd miles to lancashire, so would only take ma about 5 hours on the DT... i wouldn't mind the travel if you've not already made plans

i got the day off work tomorrow so if you are in berkshire area and fancy plodding around the green lanes at speeds no more than 50mph then let me know

I think i've been stareing at drewpys' laserpod thing too long...

that a bottle opener on the prosthetic leg in the second pic?... quite fancy getting me a celtic design but dont know what to get

wow, thats some impressive ink, can't wait to see it when its finished. no way are you 38... not with that figure anyway

i'd never survive in a big city like that... im a simple bloke, me

do i need any qualifications for courier work? that SERV thing looks quite good, maybe i will give that a try when i am on the 350, would take me an hour to get there if i was using the DT working the smoke?...

your kids should know and understand the risks like the rest of us do, but theres no reason why it could be their last ride. im sure most of you riders are ery responsable and can deal with most situations on the road with ease, and with a passenger its all the more important to take care never bothered me when i was hanging off the back of my dads CBR900RR doing 150 down the motorway, loved it

quite like the idea of riding bikes either as a "proper job" or just something to do on the side, i know there aint that much money to be made in it but id be willing to try it out failing that, anyone know any pizza places that still use mopeds to deliver?

'nuff said

hi everyone. just trying to sort out my motorcycle clothing for the year. i got myself a very nice Tuzo leather jacket in the busters sale a few weeks ago. full grain leather, armour, removable liner e.t.c for £50 as it was end-of-the-line. thing is, its a bit heavy and very warm... a bit too warm and methink in summer it will be a bit too much to lug around on the DT. so i started looking at textile clothing. in probike they had some end-of-the-line stuff for £79.99 but didnt have any in the small size that i require... so ive been looking on the web and found the "Mirage" and "Airtec" jackets for a good price. http://www.motouk.net/acatalog/Textile_Jackets.html#aRAYV52 anyone ever done dealings with motouk and can comment on the quality of their jackets? so in short im looking for a good quality textile jacket in small for around £50?, but have no idea what/where to look, anyone got any reccomendations? also need a good set of leather jeans... - Steve EDIT: One more thing, it has to be blue or blue/black to match the dragons

hi everyone... are there any rules/terms a person needs to meet before they can become a motorcycle courier? (for a business or even privately) sounds like an interesting job, i would quite like to give it a go... anyone had any experiance being a courier? needs something with a bigger payload than my DT50 though... maybe a jawa with a sidecar - Steve

i was right pissed off scratching my new leather jacket... paid £50 for that in busters sale (was £130) saved up my paper round muneh for 5 weeks to get that...

shit, looks like i missed the fun stuff reminds me of the Monkeys from Madagascar... "if you've got any poo, fling it now"

you've already posted in the Yamabys section matey, looks like you put a typo in the title though

If you stick around long enough, you will begin to understand Goff in her weird and wonderful ways. Goffs advice is like getting a brick thrown through your window, then finding a birthday card with gift vouchers attached to it.

im sure ebay will come in handy for parts one day later on, but for now the bike is pretty much complete. if worse comes to worst i will probably find myself mix'n'matching parts off other bikes
