well it went 1.97 miles at 4.7 miles per hour and not far from Mike's house. So all our poo's are sent his way. YAY!

ever wondered where your poo's go when you flush? well ponder no more with this snazzy poo tracker. watch its journey from crapper to the "works" Kev will especially like this one, even though its got nothing to do with motorcycles other than his riding style (which is poo) flushtracker

I hope you have used thread lock on that srew, I wouldn't like that to fall out into the clutch as for the forks. make sure you crack the allen bolts underneath the fork lowers (inside them actually) with the spings in place. you are trying to prevent the bar they're attached to from rotating. the best way is to use a air wrench, but a swift whack should crack it loose! after that, take out the top fork caps then take them out of the fork clamps. then its a matter of leverage and heat to remove the seals. I've sometimes had to drill a little hole and screw in a self tapper and pulled on that! drewps

frost do a zinc plate via a brush and an electrode, might be a way!

I do like the brit classics, but no room/no money/wife/nearly no job prevents me from having one I like the rudge ulsters, squariel's, panthers and the pre war flat tankers.

PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) Premium Rate Scam Warning Outline Email forward warns that a card from PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) informing householders about a package delivery is actually a scam designed to trick them into making a premium rate phone call charged at £1.50 per minute (Full commentary below). Brief Analysis Was true, but the scam was shut down in late 2005. Despite claims in the warning, the scam is not reoccurring in 2010. Example:(Submitted, October 2007) Subject: Postal Scam To Be Aware Of This is a genuine scam that Royal Mail have been made aware of -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can you circulate this around especially as Xmas is fast approaching - it has been confirmed by Royal Mail. The Trading Standards Office are making people aware of the following scam: A card is posted through your door from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and that you need to contact them on 0906 6611911 (a premium rate number). DO NOT call this number, as this is a mail scam originating from Belize. If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will already have been billed £15 for the phone call. If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on [number removed] or ICSTIS (the premium rate service regulator) at www.icstis.org.uk Please circulate this to avoid anyone else being ripped off. Detailed Analysis This email warning has been circulated since the end of 2005. Recent submissions indicate that the warning is once again rapidly gaining momentum. The information in the message was mostly factual. However, the particular scam described in the message was shut down at the end of 2005 and the information is no longer relevant. The continued forwarding of this warning to others is now pointless and counterproductive. PhonepayPlus (previously named "ICSTIS"), the UK's regulatory body for all premium rate charged telecommunications services, issued a statement denying any reoccurence of the scam in 2007 and then again in 2009. In response to renewed circulation of the warning in late 2010, PhonepayPlus again republished the statement, noting: Postal scam chain email – PhonepayPlus’ statement 17/11/2010 PhonepayPlus, the phone-paid services regulator, is aware that a chain e-mail about an alleged postal scam is being circulated on the internet. The email refers to the Royal Mail, Trading Standards and ICSTIS (PhonepayPlus' former name). PhonepayPlus appreciates that recipients of the email may want to find out more information about the alleged scam and has therefore issued the following statement: * The chain email refers to a service (operating on 0906 6611911) that was shut down by PhonepayPlus (then ICSTIS) in December 2005. * PhonepayPlus subsequently fined the company that was operating the service, Studio Telecom (based in Belize), £10,000. * The service is NO LONGER running and has NOT been running since December 2005. * You do NOT need to contact PhonepayPlus, or the Royal Mail, about this service as it was stopped almost four years ago. * If you receive a copy of the email warning you about the alleged scam, please do NOT forward it to others. Instead, please forward this statement from PhonepayPlus. * If you receive a delivery card through your letterbox which you do not believe is genuine and which asks you to dial a premium rate number, you can contact PhonepayPlus on 0800 500 212 (Mon-Fri, 8am-6pm) for further guidance. * Please go to http://www.phonepayplus.org.uk/output/FAQ.aspx for useful information about how to recognise phone-paid services and understand what they cost, and some simple tips to help you enjoy using services with confidence. * For more detailed information about PhonepayPlus’ work, please visit www.phonepayplus.org.uk.

cheers for that Jim. I'm not accepting anymore orders till you've all got them just in case a few go a-stray!!

:lol:

hammerite's fine, i've seen frames done in that and it looks good (in spray form) I use Peeks polish as its less abrasive than solvol and can do paint work and plastic

don't like getting sand in me engine can we go this way?

it don't yell you how to mix it!

Marti hopefully got a free campsite not far from the the magic roundabout! have been 2 years now but every time something biblical happens to us!

just starting my new job Monday and with the scout programme not sure what I have left for next year! good idea John, why not each member of the area come up with a good biking route and lead it. He/she will know the cafe's and B&B's/campsites etc

check you are charging mate, if your not getting a good 13 -14.5v @3k revs across the battery, the bike don't want to run.

has it been bent in an accident?

mine (xs400)does that occasionally, its a contact on the other end of the gear change drum that must get a bit of swarf or oil to create a contact. Mind you, it is 32 years old

they sound like the xs400 forks. I use the wife to pick out the little circlip with a terminal driver. I push down really hard on the fork cap with a heavy duty screwdriver so she can get to the circlip. It then flies across the garage and I spend 1/2 hour looking for it. if the cap won't budge, i nod my head and the wife hits it with a mallet!

depends how you ride, emergency braking won't be the same, but carefully set up with decent liners they will be ok. check for ovality, they can be skimmed and thick shoes manufactured to fit the bigger drum.

nice one OG :lol:

they do look great with a 3d effect due to the stitching

forget flash mobbing, this is the new craze to HIT (ged'it?)the north east
