lots of peeps are using Flckr now. I just pay the £2 month for photobucket

3 sisters went bump last month, think they are sorting something though

way too risky, don't know how you can value your life against a few spokes you want a wheel collapse when the wheel is under load? (braking, corners etc) you can do this yourself using youtube vids (I did) get spokes from thailand as I and John have in the past

'bout time Kev, you've missed loads

nice collection of bikes CCM are built near me in Bolton.

Soo

yep, tx more usa focussed 500a and 500b models, XS more European based

its probably running a field coil charging system. it needs a healthy battery to charge the coil up and then get power. the other system like the xs650 use brushes which wear. there was some TX500 stuff in motorcycle mechanics lately, not sure which issues

oops, bad luck there. ironically, at least help was already on its way,

sorry still prefer the spokes

pics are out, there's one of me. as you on your new bike, I struggled to find yours

looks great I do like spoked wheels

can't beat Merino wool base layers, I got mine from Aldi

Tommy called round tonight. He wanted to balance the carbs on his XJR It took longer to take the tank off than balance the carbs, although I have done it quite a few times. Anyway, we went out for a little bimble to Lymn Dam just coz it was a nice evening and we could next time you see these together will be in Spain, 4 weeks to go woo hoo

that's a huge piston, whats the rev range on the new engine? looking good though

Steve

my front forks don't charge the battery either

its his birthday today too

nasty, but you came away from stepping hill alive? well done apart from hyperbolic chamber and plenty of glucosamine nothing else really

Tom

Kev's around, I think he's had some personal issues to sort and his Tank is being repainted (sherman, wrong olive drab)
