    Wooo! Wooooo! Woooooo! Two Red Indians and an Irishman were walking through the woods. All of a sudden one of the Red Indians ran up a hill to the mouth of a small cave. 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' he called into the cave and listened closely until he heard an answering,'Wooooo! Wooooo! Woooooo! He then tore off his clothes and ran into the cave. The Irishman was puzzled and asked the remaining Indian what it was all about,. 'Was the other Indian crazy or what?' The Indian replied 'No, It is our custom during mating season when Indian men see cave, they holler 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' into the opening. If they get an answer back, it means there's a beautiful squaw in there waiting for us. Just then they came upon another cave. The second Indian ran up to the cave, stopped, and hollered ,'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' Immediately, there was the answer..'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' from deep inside. He also tore off his clothes and ran into the opening. The Irishman wandered around in the woods alone for a while, and then spied a third large cave. As he looked in amazement at the size of the huge opening, he was thinking, 'Hoo, man! Look at the size of this cave! It is bigger than those the Indians found. There must be some really big, fine women in this cave!' He stood in front of the opening and hollered with all his might 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' Like the others, he then heard an answering call, 'WOOOOOOOOO, WOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOO!' With a gleam in his eye and a smile on his face, he raced into the cave,tearing off his clothes as he ran. The following day, the headline of the local newspaper read................. NAKED IRISHMAN RUN OVER BY TRAIN!!!

    A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack. "Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday." Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager. Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?" (folks, you're gonna luv this) The bank manager looks back at her and says... "It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

    that's just looking in the miror Kev!

    put the plate where the adjustment notches are. adjust the points gap first then set the crank to LF mark (take out the plugs, its easier) the left points should be just about to open when the LF comes on the mark. same for RF make sure there's no sparking across the points when its cranked over as that means the condensor is shot. finally strobe the whole thing when the engine is running. If you can't do all this you need to get a manual and read up or get someone else to do it as its pretty straight forward engineering.
  6. rick, pictures, you don't have the bike unless we see a picture of it
  7. belive it or not, my bike is quiet compared to some of the stuff that was there. (especially the Gilera replica on reverse mega's) it was before the tracker got finished. It will be there next year though and its freeki'n loud that one!
  8. I little vid on the festival the other weekend. Captures the flavour of the day and the group I mentor even feature in it! Kev was there for support too
  9. just seen this footage, your very own drewpy overtakes an RD at the very end of the vid
  10. I've never had worn plates yet, my money will be on a new cable. it sticks and holds the clutch open. try adjustment first (its cheaper) with the correct gaps. on my xs its the engine side first, screw in the adjuster till it touches the rod, and back off 1/4 turn. 2 - 5mm clearance at the lever. That will do for starters
  11. perservere, I think its getting a lot of hits ATM
  12. RubyRubyRuby! to the form, keepig the bike clean will ensure its value and alert you to any potential problems

    wheering? seriously, could just need the battery charging or it doesn't hold enough amps. if not that, the starter clutch is worn and the rollers need replacing.

    A guy goes into the confessional box after years being away from the Church. He pulls aside the curtain, enters and sits himself down. There's a fully equipped bar with crystal glasses, the best wine, Guinness on tap, cigars and liqueur chocolates nearby, and on the wall a fine photographic display of buxom ladies who appear to have mislaid their garments. He hears a priest come in: "Father, forgive me for it's been a very long time since I've been to confession and I must admit that the confessional box is much more inviting than it used to be". The priest replies, "Get out, you idiot. You're on my side!"

    I remeber my dad filling up the mini traveller, and going ape that it cost £5 for a full tank. £5 was all he'd say muttering as he drove off and us kids nose to the glass trying to ignore him, bless!

    I'd get an NOS wiring loom, start looking now usiing ebay notifications. The rest can be cleaned refurbed as and when. don't forget, yamaha used some parts bins across the range in the 70's, so you may get switches etc off other era bikes. (I got xs1100 brakes on my 400) to the forum Pilger
