no probs, the only major change with the 500's was the redesign of the cylinder head AFAIK

best getting a manual as it explains how pistons are oval and wear fore and aft etc.

the tube method is the best as it takes into account the vagrates of each carb. why not get a matching bolt and drill/tap for a nipple?

Been busy this week and after buying an NOS engine case from XS360's estate ( god bless him) I have now rebuilt the engine. it just needs timing and the wifes help in shoe horning it into the frame( she does have her uses)

I think Goff has a spray booth for all her leathers so long as the leather is fed and keeps supple any product is good enough, I use dubbin on my boots to keep the weather out!!

It amazes me when I see the duke videos of them doing 170 near curbs and the bars are tank slapping. I don't think rossi would do it as its a completly different way of riding!!

didn't you leave your helment attached to the bike when it was trashed?

I did hit a plastic hub cover on a bend over snake pass doing 60mph. It happened so fast it never got the "stomach pit feeling ", just straighted up the bike to the other side of the road and after I ran over it, carried on turning. Thank god no-one was comming the other way!!

aye, seen it before its in a series about women drivers. should see some of the parking ones

'kin ell! get a haynes manual and do it yourself. build up tools as you go. I am self taught so it can be done!!

all the sohc clutches are interchangable AFAIA make sure you get the primary gear as they are matched.

I have to have agreed value insurance, and carole nash does the deal for me but only after a get a cheaper quote from somewhere else. Just say you want to stay with them but they need to make it happen. Puts the ball back in their court!

can you get to stafford bike show in April? get textile jackets for £25

this is why you wore platforms in the 70's, plenty to wear down when using additional braking!!

wow 69mph!!

what abot XTR600 ?

I can can just feeel my neck hurting laughing at this, Merv can you give me your insurance details please?

Lazy girls, i expected them to clean that room by 1:07. should use yakety sax for the music just like benny's

that reminds me, i have a video short from the 80's called "blood runner" a bit more blood than running tho'

get the Floyd or Rush on, sorted!!

looks cool http://www.firebox.com/product/958/Laserpod

that looks ccccold, won't even feel your nuts

lots of engine braking then

why don't you peg a playing card to your frame and the card fwaps in the spokes, that way I'll sound like an engine seriously join the Jawa club as OG mentioned as they are the specialists

things like this really piss me off, bring back the birch not the trumpets!!!!
