Paul, any chance of bringing your dial gauge and fitting to time the Gilera?

that sucks, but the missus comes first. good luck on the move

If you love cake and engines then you need a Cake O Matic in your life and what better way to eat birthday cake.

woohoo, lets go

I don't have Twitter but see enough in facebook to see the funny side http://www.buzzfeed.com/tomphillips/the-29-stages-of-a-twitterstorm

its the one we first met at with Mike all those years ago ST7 1UP on the A34/A50 expect to get there 10:30ish

To get the carbs out, I loosened the top rear sub frame, took out the battery box and air box. unconnected the muffler and the whole thing hinged back to get to the carbs. can do it in 1/2 hour now

yep, 9am sounds good, weather prediction has improved too

use the POR15 stuff from Frost, i think its £38 for the motorcycle kit and so far its like a new tank inside and its ethanol resistant and looks great being silver.

I made a negative buck out of 1" ply (ie an oval hole) and carefully bashed in the alloy with shot peen hammer making sure it didn't split. finished off with a rubber mallet to smooth it off

let us know bips ,we could meet at little chef near A500 Okay John, prob be there 10ish but want to do the autojumble first and I need to pick some stuff up from Bob Wright's stall I've ordered

picked/nicked this from the 2 stroke forum. never heard of it before, but you can dye plastics. there's not loads of colours but if you want to be "back in black" ( see what i did there?) worth doing for £6

crap, no good no matter what the bike. I have one of those super duper alarms someone recommend on here, 100 decibels and it hurts your ears ( even with my deafness) I haven't got a spare seat pan, I have foam. Keep an eye out on ebay 360 and 400 stuff will fit

I'm checking with work tomorrow to get the time off. getting excited but there's not much riding for us as its only Liverpool, 30 mins tops

give it a whack with a rubber mallet

its like a huge cast iron C with a roller on the ends of the C and you pass the pounded panels back and forth to smooth out the craters from hammering.

well I decided to make an Alloy front rear mudguard tonite check out my metal bashing skills looks good and no English wheel in sight

I recon the better meet is the classic TT 22 - 25 Aug 2014 "The Classic TT celebrates the history and heritage of the TT and motorcycle racing, offering four action-packed days of motorcycling nostalgia. Including the world's most prestigious classic motorcycle races, the Classic TT will boast the best road racers on the planet riding the most exotic and iconic motorcycles." then thers the Manx GP Manx GP 26th to 29th is for non-experts and must be UK/NI born to participate might be better to go for the lot while we're there and make a full week of it!

OK

seems "fine" to me

Let me know what ferry you get tommy and I'll book mine too

cool helmet Tommy, shame about the face

I found a translation of the event; RANSLATION (via reddit) I translated most of the exchange between the people in the video. It starts at 0:41. Robber: Stop! Stop, stop, stop. Give me the alarm! Victim: Okay, okay. Robber: Give me the alarm, give me the alarm! Robber points the gun at victims head. Victim: It's here, it's here. Robber: ****, hurry! Victim: It's right here, it's right here! Victim hands over the alarm system key. Victim: You can take it away, you can take it away! Other robber approaches say something inaudible. Victim: No man, I'm not armed. Robber #2: What? Victim: I don't have any gun on me, I'm not a cop. Robber #2 to Robber: Let's go, let's go. Victim: You guys can take it, take it. Cop approaches Robber and BAM! BAM! (or pew! pew!, whatever you prefer) Robber: Ouch! ****! Victim: Thank you police! Thank you police! Thanks a lot! Victim: Now you're gonna rob in hell. You're not gonna take away my bike. You're not gonna take it, thank god. Victim put's helmet on the ground. Inaudible exchange between victim and cop. Another cop in black t-shirt steps in and talks to cop hero. Black tshirt cop: I work for "Guarda". (a division of the police department) Are you a captain? Cop gets in the car. Victim: Now you're gonna rob in hell you son of a *****. Robber (whining): I got shot! Victim (****** off): You go **** yourself! You're the one pointing gun at other people's face! Robber: Oh, I'm gonna die. Victim: You sure will! You should have already! Son of a *****. Robber inaudible, apparently asks someone to get him something to drink. Victim: You're gonna drink in hell! You're gonna drink the devil! Victim to other people around: ****, I'm going on my way and this ******* comes to rob me. Victim pick up the helmet. Victim (to camera): I'm lucky it's still recording. They tried to rob me here. Victim (on the phone): Just come over here. This guy just tried to rob me and the cop shot him. Come quickly. Just don't tell dad. Come quickly! Victim hangs up. Victim: You have to live so you can get beat up in jail! Victim (to himself): ****ing idiot. Robber: I'm dying! Victim: Yeah, you're supposed to! You have to get ****ed. You're not the one that likes to rob? Getting a job is something you don't want to, right?! Do you have any idea how much I'm working to pay for this motorcycle?! You have no idea, right! And then you take it away easily! Victim: And you're lucky that I wanted to get your buddy as well! But don't worry because he's gonna get caught. Guy in blue t-shirt to victim: Was it red or black that one? Victim: Red. Victim (to some cop): Guy wasn't wearing a helmet but I noticed when I looked in the mirror they were up to no good. Guy in blue t-**** starts patting down the robber. Robber: Keep your hands off me! ****. Blue t-**** guy reaches for something and hands it over to cop. Robber to cop: I'm dying sir! Victim: Oh now you say "sir" right?! You first scare the **** out of other people and now it's all "sir". "Sir" my *** buddy! Now you're gonna get ****ed up in hell. Vicim: How about your buddy? You see. He ran away! Victim: You wanted to ride some Hornet, right?! (flips off) Here, now you're gonna ride a hornet in hell! (Hornet is a Honda model) Victim picks up camera Victim: Now you see this guy. He was going to rob me, now got all ****ed up. The cops shot him.

there's always the MANX GP end of August!
