  1. the web designers didn't code the site very well and you can put any old crap in the boxes with anon phone number etc. no captcha I think the claim part then populates the quote at the bottom. BTW Captcha means Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart

    depends how deep the reaction is and where! try compound first, and if that don't work, work your way through the rougher stuff
  4. picture looks great, I went on a submarine in about 1978, it was docked at Port Salford. Great fun even managed to get to see a porno calender in the sleeping quarters (it was soon whisked away)

    stripped the seized engine down today. the crank and piston was totally stuck, but the rest of the engine came aprt easily and the 5 speed cluster looks good. the side cover doesn't fit as It was a later version bang it on ebay for half the price of the other one, £50

    well I got another pressie today courtisy of a fellow member of the sports moped forum. a 5 speed seized engine I'm hoping that left cover will fit mine as that will save me £50 for a new one, or if your daft, £100 for 2nd hand on eBay I'm off Friday and Monday so hope to strip it down and see what I have. Already I can see an unrestricted inlet worth at least £20 Off to pick up some zinc from Unity in Oldham tomorrow morning before work (they open at 5:30am)

    wonder if the xj600 fits the FZ600? same engine, but the mounts?
  20. so you want to lower the engine revs for the same speed? put a 13 on the front BTW you can get sprockets made, not really a big deal, JT's in Wales do them and I'm sure there's someone stateside
  21. that first pic is sooo photoshopped, her feet are nearly bigger than the wheel
