I stopped the excel spread sheet thing when the wife started asking questions. I don't like lying so buried my head in the sand instead!

YOC chess pieces. Alex as King Kev as porns Airhead as a Queen etc etc

good luck mate, Spa sounds good and I'd love to do that one day. (certainly the classic spa) ride safe

Just been to my friends house and he was giving me a load of bike mags. Luckily (or unluckily for me)he found a load of old TT stuff from 1957 to 1960 in the pile. He's got a load of timekeeping information from a guy called Davis who passed away some time ago and he was the timekeeper for the BBC. Amazing stuff, all hand calculations with famous names like Surtees, Redman, Hailwood etc. It looks like he got involved in 57 with him being chief timekeeper in 1960. whats more the chap got invited to the Metropole Hotel for the TT soirees and another soiree for past TT winners. To top it all off on the back of the Metropole invite are a few signatures; Rem Fowler - 1907 TT winner Hailwood, Surtees, duke, Williams (snr I think) and Minter. If your into cars he got the autograph of E.R.A motor racing, Leslie Johnson the then owner and racing car driver. Loads of old programs as well as the time keeping info (top ave speed calcs set at 102 mph)and some steam packet letters and hire of Austin for £6 1S 0D for the week. amazing to read and had to share with you peeps, coz I had hairs standing on the back of my arm at the time.

to the forum. I'm a young 49 and get out as much as possible with or without mates. I use it a therapy for getting away from it all, into my Zen zone so to speak!

to the YOC

YOC medallions, either for badges or chains for Kev!

your welcome cheapest i've seen http://www.bearing-king.co.uk/bearing/tla-1412-z-iko/5618 £2.83 + vat and P+P each

I know what you mean, the Yams have them too. I'd go bronze/oiltight as they are what should have been fitted in the first place. I see they are the same as the GT750 http://www.pinkpossum.com/GT750/phattrakka2/p4aswinger.htm might be an alternative

when you say you damaged the tophats, were they peened over? just get a local engineering firm to ream them out. I had to with the first lot of bronze bushes, the second lot i used the threaded bar.

they are probably those well nuts, those little rubber thingy's yep, looks like they are. I'd drill the head off and pop 'em. http://www.oemmotorparts.com/oem5.asp?M=Yamaha&T=XT%20R%20%20125&Y=2006&L=YA-XT-R-125-2&O=FRONT%20BODY&F=YA-XT-R-125-2_AS&L2=YA-XT-R-125-2_AS

Anyone used these guys based in Oxford? http://www.zircotec.com/page/--custom-bike-applications/163

must be the genes round your way. only seen a couple of twins round here and they seem well behaved and stick to the pavement

interesting, and how much?

put an old pillow under it before it comes off.

I got in an accident with a Smart Car today and it was completely wrecked. My motorbike is fine though.

i rebuilt an auto scooter with a fresh cylinder. the clutch bites at 5k revs so you have no choice on the engine speed TBH. good advice on tickover and letting it cool, re-torquing head. just don't let it under or over rev IMHO.

congrats on your fine purchase
