1974 TX500A rebuild

Clubbers in yorkshire have taken to using dental syringes to inject liquid Ecstasy directly into their mouths. This dangerous process is known as 'E by gum'

1974 TX500A rebuild
high revs means you need to check the idling system as its letting in too much air!! either pilot screw adjustment or you may have overtightened the rubber inlets causing it to bow (use feeler gauge to check)

Help removing the calipers: XS1100
should be able to take off the caliper without removing the pad srews! take off the caliper with the 2 bolts on the fork sliders, the single 13mm black bolt holds the caliper onto the carrier. you can then get access to those pesky screws to take off the pads. they rust in peace all the time and you can either modify a stainless screw with a file, or buy a new kit with H springs and the screw.

Tough Love -vs- Spanking - Good Argument
Most people think it 's improper to spank children, so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of 'those moments.' One that I found effective is for me to just take the child for a car ride and talk. Some say it's the vibration from the car, others say it's the time away from any distractions such as TV, Video Games, Computer, IPod, etc. Either way, my kids usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together. Eye to eye contact helps a lot too. I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique. Sincerely, Your Friend
