  1. it must have had one as that's standard on jap bikes. maybe the threads have been stripped
  2. you could balance it on a weighing scale with, say, an orange or packet of dried peas?
  3. does sitting forward or to the back change anything. How about with a pillion? tyre pressures?
  4. update; confirmed the other party admitted fault, so I'm taking it round to Red Rose retro in Burnley rd, Todmorden to have it assessed for the insurance. booked in the private doctors to assess me and also have some physio. Also good news is that I can sort of use the hand for clutch so went for a little spin on it, just can't get into standing traffic for too long or it hurts too much. different view of the forks
  5. I got a set of vacuum dial gauges from a show years ago (£20) always use them (and so do my friends)
  6. tomy is a toy manufacturer no? good show coming to Wombwell soon, Tommy and I are hopefully going
  7. great write up,i wanted one for my 50th but pops said it was dangerous approx cost would be great, Donnigton's a great track and saw the 500 GP there in '87. Cadwell seems a good place to ride too.
  8. you not watch red dwarf? he always calls peeps smegs

    Game Of Thrones

    I download it and never seen any adverts! it pretty much reflects what is in the books which means its pretty damn good.

  11. 4 stroke exhausts are totally different. They are packed inside the chamber normally with baffles to provide backpressure for more torque, whereas 2 strokes are packed externally. my xs has a Yoshi through exhaust but with external packing and jetted accordingly
  12. looks good that one Tommy. wonder if we as members get quantity discount on things like this, bit like a YOCgroupon or such?
  13. I had no lessons at all and looking back, really would have benefitted from them instead of learning the hard way. Its the other folk on the road who are the problem IMHO.
  14. there's no back pressure from the packing as it works by absorption.usually goes round a straight through perforated tube
  15. sadly today Simon lost his life doing the thing he loved, racing in the NW200 RIP Simon http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/northern-ireland/27457847
  16. absorbs the noise and changes the frequency ie lower to be more socially acceptable. I just managed to get a peashooter exhaust from the 70's, now they are loud
  17. Start 11am Barn owl inn Agden wharf Warrington lane Lymm WA13 oSW http://www.vjmc.com/2014Lymmb.pdf I won 2nd best yam a few years back
