  1. Malden shot blasting in Essex http://www.ctc-powder-coating.co.uk/contact.htm http://www.armourtexltd.co.uk/ Hackney, London
  2. should be a great trip. some good A roads from Manchester, either through Stafford or Wales/England border and under the Telford suspension in Brisol. don't forget its the journey not the destination. post your route up and I'm sure members can PM their mob number if your in a jam somewhere or just wanna meet up
  3. good offer impala. quite a rare bike in the uk.
  4. no, never seen it before
  5. if you go to Wolverhampton, your in the capital of British engineering. lots a of legacy from the brit bike era still around there too.
  6. drewpy

    GB and the EU

    don't forget Norway who voted NOT to enter the EU. then the govt told them they got it wrong and to vote again with the correct answer FFS they still said F*ck off http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/dec/16/would-britain-do-as-well-as-norway-outside-eu
  7. hey John I was talking to andrew136 ans ss50-1 on the sixteener special sports moped forum yesterday, they know you from forfar!
  8. I'm excited for you. I'm still working on the Gilera and loving every minute. if you find a panel beater for the mud guard let me know.
  9. or the float needle is dirty letting too much fuel into the carb. a quick check and clean is all it may need.
  10. good review, but you ain't got one until we see a photo of it
  11. I got some aap Taiwanese rims from a company in NI £4 delivery look ok too http://motorcyclemegastore.com/motorcycle-wheel-rims
  12. looks ok to me too. no where near as bad as the Gilera I started with. the front wheel spokes look new and the rims look good too. rusty wheels can take £400 off you easily
  13. try a new spark plug too, as it might be fouling up/insulation breaking down
  14. he says it needs a new engine! unless you have access/funds to get another engine I wouldn't bother at that price. If your really stuck on it, take a gamble and let it run. email the seller and get him to lower the price
  15. my throttle usually makes my revs go up and down seriously, its running a bit lean, the modern fuel now has ethanol (alcohol)in it which loves attracting water. tweaking the mix screw out to enrichen the air/fuel mix like dt50 said, on the xs400 its now 3 turns out. You may have to up the slow jet 1 step.
