    to the races..... we get directions to the general area and need to get to the paddock as we have pre-paid tickets and want to see Coyles. As we enter portrush there's bikes everywhere and bikers are parking on pavements and any flat surface. So we panic and see a couple of spaces and grab them quick. we walk with the crowd and find a NW200 vendor who takes a few quid off us for t-shirts (very good quality) and we make our way to the circuit. Turns out we're at the Metropole ( didn't see shed hermit and too late for phone #'s) so its a case of walking 2 miles to the paddock. we didn't get that far as the race was starting so ended up at Juniper chicane, which was a great spot and witnessed a few hairy moments as riders missed the apex and flew off the pavement. a pikkie of the 250 race I was pretty hung over and was glad of the wind, not sure whether to puke or swallow, in the end I managed to do neither and after the superbike race mooched over to the paddock area. whilst waiting (again) for the organisers to either start the race or cut it short I visited the VJMC tent and saw a Sparton, that's the same engine as the silver dream racer in a spondon chassis apparantly the owner lives in Armarh according to Coyles and we stop there on the way home (later) Eventually we get in the paddock area and the place is buzzing, and you can see the TAS suzuki area and HM plant etc, lots of freebies to be had and drunk!! Boy I needed the relentless as it just hit the spot for me. Hangover has subsided and we go and see Coyles, here he is posing with his GXR1000 After there, Coyles was racing next so we go to near York corner to watch him. Mike takes the pictures but they are too fast to track. Coyles (#50) just about to overtake before York The last race turns out to be the 125's and we headed back to coyles's paddock to off load our goodies for him to take back. Then it was the long walk back to the bikes avoiding the drunks and watching the biker chicks going past. I even checked my "mirror" to double take a bird, the only thing missing was my bike and the mirror as we get on our bikes towards portrush a load of ambulances go past and the road is closed due to a serious accident, I think 1 guy got killed. We all get back in 1 peice and get ready to visit the club again. this time we got out early (1pm ) as we needed to get an early start to head back to Manchester the same day!! the final installment coming soon.....do we get back?, and another of our bikes goes "off colour"!!
  4. i thought the thread was about swim trunks

    cool, any good?
  6. drewpy replied to Airhead's topic in Yamabyss
    OG you nicking my crapster jokes?
  7. not sure you have a cam belt, i think it's chain. have you got a manual for it? there may be one via the sticky in the classic section and look under pioneer web site. then check to see if there is a gasket needed drewps
  8. don't know the problem, but to the forum Matt
  9. didn't say caustic soda, i said baking soda
  10. disconnect the condensor. In fact, I used jap bullet connectors to install the box so if it did fail, I can reconnect the condensor and the coils to go back to points proper
  11. $60? not really, have you tried mole grips on the screw heads? sometimes you can get a purchase on them. also try sawing a groove in the head and use an impact slot driver!!
  12. you should have a paint code under the seat somewhere. There are 100's of different whites, and without dates, chassis number etc you won't get an answer.
  13. there's repair manual in a sticky, in the classic section
  14. I use a B&Q pressure washer with a sand blast attachment. did my hubs with those. sand gets every where and you need to get it cleaned afterwards. for my engine I'm going to use that baking soda home built sprayer, as the soda disolves in water!!!

    thats' assuming there is enough meat in there to drill and tap!!! the larger studs may be too big for the exhaust clamp
  16. the charging system needs a healthy 12v to excite the field coil. this has been mentioned quite a few times in other threads. I suggest you use the search facillity top right of the page. drewps
  17. did you check diaphrams like Jim said?
  18. made me jump!!
  19. i'd say its a cb or cg 125

    have you got a side view pikkie? you can always go the GRP way as there's loads of vendors in the usa like hot wing glass and omars drewps

    if you have "standards" and want the best, you need to get it lumiwelded and re-drilled and tapped. won't cost the earth as lumi weld is a low temp solution. drewps
