I campedwith my daughter at 9 months in a tent, she loved it. just got to watch her though, she mooch off through the tent exploring

fork seals don't pop, in fact they are a real bitch to get out. They leak because there is a minute erosion between the rubber and the stanchion along with pressure from the compressed forks, forces oil past the seals. with all that gunge, its def due for renewal.

no idea what you just replaced as you didn't actually mention it! what worked loose? the valves are pretty good unless they hit the top of the piston for some reason and then they bend. things like collets (cotters to you?) will be fine unless damaged

TIP: spray water on the tent, it acts like a fridge and cools the inside

he's not a Yank and would probably resemble that remark

Henry Cole did the john o groats/lands end thing and was just been shown on TV, maybe worth checking out as I'm sure its repeat

nice were on my side? so your not any more

you did

because they are all going slow and have a certain amount of respect for each other. otherwise it would be carnage

points should never spark, so I recon its the condensor. Its job is to "iron out" the excess current through the contacts to make the spark jump at the right time via the coil you will also need to check the points contacts now as the sparking is a bit like arc welding and will errode the surface of the contacts making adjustment impossible.

the spitfyres must have spent £100's of pounds on that, even though it did look good. loved the series 1 camper, coffin dodgers and usane bolt. the devil women were also great watching the driver's terrified face as she descended the course

sorry I'm in Manchester (cottonopolis)

Right, getting somewhere now on this selector fork what I need is the fork to be stellite welded and reground to specs. What I need to know is, does anyone recommend anywhere that can do it? All i can find is some multimillion pound dynasty who would charge the cost bike to do the job Drewps

It was on Dave last night. I was crying with laughter at their antics

true

great report Bips and its always an adventure what ever you do on any bike I did 650 miles in the pouring rain, not fun but it had its moments

I'm up for Lotherton Hall on 28th July barring Hurricane weather. its not far from Squires and has always been a great show for me. Rod from CCM always appeared there!

what a load of bollocks, how can you claim property rights on a ride around town? just call it something else or ignore the letter

where's the camera phone footage? Joking aside that's pretty major thing to happen John. At least your all safe, I bet that 10 mins lasted a lifetime (which it could have been)

a little update; found a Yoshi end can on eBay and trial fitted it. Needs to go up a bit more before I finally weld on the link pipe fitting.

no probs, I bought a set of drifts for bearings years ago and they've been a godsend

HOGHTON TOWER SPRINT is on today, unfortunately I'm air rifle shooting with cubs @Bowley. should be some great machines there., Last year there were Vincents, rotary Nortons, RD250 (very fast and loud)

Kev, wheel bearings are generic, prob 6263 or something so get them from a bearing place (there one in Bolton near the scrap yards) if you need a hand doing them give us a shout and I'll call round after work

have a look in the eaves too. Look for evidence of damp and make sure the guttering is sound and not skewed. Unless they have a damp proof certificate, the valuer will always insist on having a damp proofing done no matter if its damp or not (cheeky feckers) its to protect themselves not you.

excuse me, that was an epic drawing of an epic nature.
