drewpy

the only excercises I've been told to do is walk and contract the quad and glute muscles 3 x 10 times a day.. This is from the pioneers of hip replacemnt, Wrightinton hospital

I'm not :D just the way it is, got a nice 12" scar though as the specialist has put in a super duper joint in as I do a bit of running. Just keep taking the Tramadol and protect the hip joint for now till bone cements the cup

Its a new hip Jimmy, can't even drive for another 2 weeks yet

nice bikes the tracer

checked earth? does the RR get hot? (it should do) I bough a mosfet and it heated up the stator wires, luckily I found it before any damage, put in a SHE650 and all was fine

Geoff, put a post in the wanted section please, this area is just for the welcomes and introductions

wow, very nice

be carefull with this "core" it can induce failure where the it ends inside the tube. As its just a main stand, not a critical failure though.

nothing in the UK, we get the arrows which, the more of them, the sharper the bend. this isn't fool proof where i've backed off and it was just a little wiggle in the road. maybe different at night though

trust you to pick a dodgy ferry :D will check out facebook pics

pretty much what I do now. I havn't been on an advanced riding course (should do really) as I probably picked up some habits. I love the caveat, only go as fast as the corner will allow, great if you know the corner in question. Unknown blind corners with no tell tail marking I tend to take it easier. I tend to use the white lines to tell me how the road is, use other signs like railway tracks (roads tend to be 90' going under rail tunnels) and telegraph poles to plot the hidden road ahead.

PLease post in wated section for items( or off road for specific advice)

i'd weld it back on unless really rusty

i'd just put it on ebay and get market value. As you probably realised, there are no such things a parts price as such just whatever someone is willing to pay and on condition of the parts

to the YOC nice bike too

Frank

oh the joys of old bikes, keeps you on the straight and narrow anyway. seems like you have a handle on it

Ste, nice bike you have there

enjoy John, it'll be great anyway

just stayed on the main road, so no probs really

the final day eventually arrives and Tommy has arranged Jimmy to come over and have some breakfast and to ride with us via his home top of some hill last shot of McCaig's tower Jimmy led the way to Inveraray. The Vital Spark replica in the backaground Droopy checking out his trump the boys mike and I need the loo At jimmy's house we had a nice brew by his lovely wife and the Waverly came past. I lived in Devon and the Waverley was based there for a while. The last ocean going paddle steamer nice view from Jimmy's Hoose we blatted along via Glasgow, refuling there and just took the motorway home into the wind, which was fine for my bike with a screen. Mike and Tommy struggled but we met up at the refuel stops. that's it. 1663 miles, £178 in fuel and priceless memories. If you havn't done it yet, what are you waiting for.

nice review, like the inflatable cheek pads

not really, they are reliable, no need to replace as a pair IMHO, just get 2nd hand anyway
