the bike's spewing oil out ATM, its the output seal but it took a few mins running the engine to find it. the back tyre and me/bike/public are covered in 20w/50 I'm off work tomorrow so should be able to source one and replace. vid to follow

that's Foams for ya, the kid has no staying power

bloody awful, no direction and looks a deathtrap

I know about that dodge, who knows if the rim gets squashed and develops unseen cracks. I'd rather have a pro do mine thanks

I had a lovely 80's Bell helmet, but the plastic just fell apart after a bit. you should be able to get Modern helmets retro styled (but they cost)

how does he get the power down on the scoot?

thanks Gazzy, the yoshi is now installed and sounds great

tubed tyres I do myself, but tubless I take to a specialist as they have the force necessary to move that sidewall on/off the rim

I campedwith my daughter at 9 months in a tent, she loved it. just got to watch her though, she mooch off through the tent exploring

fork seals don't pop, in fact they are a real bitch to get out. They leak because there is a minute erosion between the rubber and the stanchion along with pressure from the compressed forks, forces oil past the seals. with all that gunge, its def due for renewal.

no idea what you just replaced as you didn't actually mention it! what worked loose? the valves are pretty good unless they hit the top of the piston for some reason and then they bend. things like collets (cotters to you?) will be fine unless damaged

TIP: spray water on the tent, it acts like a fridge and cools the inside

he's not a Yank and would probably resemble that remark

Henry Cole did the john o groats/lands end thing and was just been shown on TV, maybe worth checking out as I'm sure its repeat

nice were on my side? so your not any more

you did

because they are all going slow and have a certain amount of respect for each other. otherwise it would be carnage

points should never spark, so I recon its the condensor. Its job is to "iron out" the excess current through the contacts to make the spark jump at the right time via the coil you will also need to check the points contacts now as the sparking is a bit like arc welding and will errode the surface of the contacts making adjustment impossible.

the spitfyres must have spent £100's of pounds on that, even though it did look good. loved the series 1 camper, coffin dodgers and usane bolt. the devil women were also great watching the driver's terrified face as she descended the course

sorry I'm in Manchester (cottonopolis)

Right, getting somewhere now on this selector fork what I need is the fork to be stellite welded and reground to specs. What I need to know is, does anyone recommend anywhere that can do it? All i can find is some multimillion pound dynasty who would charge the cost bike to do the job Drewps

It was on Dave last night. I was crying with laughter at their antics

true

great report Bips and its always an adventure what ever you do on any bike I did 650 miles in the pouring rain, not fun but it had its moments
