I cycled as my only means of transport for 5 years. this was the same route Captf does now. the biggest issue were cars speeding past me an inch from my handle bars, a few have had their cars whacked (if they got that close for me to reach they are too close at those speeds) never had an accident though and am quite road savvy.

we like to party

latest episode...mysteries deepen

take it to a rolling road, there's no magic panacea we can offer, each bike behaves differently. why are they so expensive? usually about £40

good ghetto fix

and CMS are gen Yam and they'll have bought up the last of the stocks and know what's in demand, they charge accordingly

battery is fully charged this morning Captf so I'll bring it round after work. just having a crafty 5mins on the PC

..and cut the grass at the same time

be careful bumping some bikes (triumph), it kills the starter clutch, even with a sluggish battery because of kickback

heat shrink will eventually close up and kill the engine, might be funny or it might go tits up pulling out of a junction!!

I do like Henry Cole and Sam whotshisname so this looks interesting http://www.radiotimes.com/episode/dhhc8s/shed-and-buried--series-1---episode-2

no probs, battery is still charging and optimate says there's no sulphating so it may just need a good charge

that's a bummer, i've welded nuts with flush studs but never recessed

I've made lugs with Plastec. You get this silicone putty which when cold is hard, heat it up with boiling water and make a mould from the opposite number. transfer to the broken side and use the powder plastec stuff and let it set. simples

might be just locked in there, I think that was what Paul was saying. maybe the chain is too worn. Can you pull more than 1/2 link actually when its on the rear sprocket? has the brake lever dropped because return spring come undone?

foams, just weld a nut onto the stud it'll come out no probs. best to shield the rest of the engine though so no splatter gets in there

just about to PM you

capt, i got one here 1/2 mile where you live. thought you had a charger? bring battery round as its screwed onto the wall

good buy, after a paint job, will look really good

relays are very reliable, fitted 2 to the tracker to facilitate micro switches. buy them from Maplin. you will also get zero battery drain, and you need all the amps you can get feeding the pilot lamp

batteries tend to be fubarred if they drain down below 10v. there is a battery place on Bright road near you where I got my Gel battery for the FZ http://premierbatteryservices.co.uk/ he's a sole trader so delivers himself, give him a bell first

I've signed it, but what difference it makes is anyones guess https://www.change.org/p/minister-of-transport-reduce-road-tax-on-motorcycles?

the hardest part will be to find somewhere to put it securely its just a heavy duty switch using small amp electric to activate it (the switched live in this instance via ignition key)
