  5. Since one of you is dead, and the other alive, its unlikely
  6. Its that damned cat again Erwin Schrödinger, the Austrian quantum physicist, has been celebrated in a Google Doodle which depicts his most widely-known contribution to the field: the Schrödinger’s Cat mind experiment. In the hypothetical experiment, which the physicist devised in 1935, a cat is placed in a sealed box along with a radioactive sample, a Geiger counter and a bottle of poison. If the Geiger counter detects that the radioactive material has decayed, it will trigger the smashing of the bottle of poison and the cat will be killed. The experiment was designed to illustrate the flaws of the ‘Copenhagen interpretation’ of quantum mechanics, which states that a particle exists in all states at once until observed. If the Copenhagen interpretation suggests the radioactive material can have simultaneously decayed and not decayed in the sealed environment, then it follows the cat too is both alive and dead until the box is opened. Common sense tells us this is not the case, and Schrödinger used this to highlight the limits of the Copenhagen interpretation when applied to practical situations. The cat is actually either dead or alive, whether or not it has been observed. “[it] prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a "blurred model" for representing reality,” Schrödinger wrote. “In itself, this would not embody anything unclear or contradictory.” Schrödinger’s Cat has been used to illustrate the differences between emerging theories in quantum mechanics, by testing how they would approach the experiment. For example, the ‘many worlds interpretation’, developed in the 1950s, would argue that when the box is opened, the observer and dead-and-alive cat split into two realities, in one of which the observer sees a dead cat and the other an alive one. The experiment has also been widely influential in popular culture, having been referenced in TV shows such as Futurama, Doctor Who and The Big Bang Theory as well as appearing in the works of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett.
  7. Feck me, I was watching/listening to Sweet Home Alabama last night, looks like from the same gig Great music The blonde axeman is a survivor from the crash, isnt he?
  8. He just likes diving into tight cracks
  9. Check that you have the standard sized sprockets on the bike first, previous owners may have changed them. Front sprocket should be 16 teeth, rear I think is 38 but you need to double check that as Im not too sure. Check that your chain is correct tension and clean and lubricated, not worn out, check that your sprockets are in good shape, and that brakes are not binding Mine had no problem touching 70mph on the flat, always used super unleaded, serviced as per the book, no screen, 5ft 6" and 10.5 stone in the birthday suit Rev it right up in 4th, then drop into 5th If you get there, dont expect to hold it when you get to an incline
  10. Looking promising, 20 mile tootle today, 12.4 volts at the batt before the off, 13.4 volts when I got back. 14.4 volts at 5,000rpm Hope thats the end of the recent breakdowns. Stopped dead on right in the middle of junction 24 M1 at rush hour, luck to get off the island alive
  11. Looks in good shape, nice colour too I like it
  12. I'm 99% certain that its a type of washer with 2 tags into the hub and 2 tags facing out into the speedo drive, and that its likely to be called a speedo clutch or speedo drive clutch Try getting a couple of smallish screwdrivers behind the washer/clutch and prising it out, its already shagged so you cant hurt it now
  13. Wonder if anyone can help me with this one. Had a couple of failures recently, bikes cut out, electrics dead on both occasions. Battery flat both times, but the bikes been running very well in between those. After checking charging system, 2 possibilities left. One is the rotor, which ohms out on the bottom limit of the recommended spec, and the reg/rect which can't be checked out. Only getting 12.9 volts at 5,000 rpm. As the reg/rect is the cheapest and easiest option, I've plumped for that first. Problem is, previous owner cut off the plug in the loom and crimped the cables together. I've got the cables marked 1/2/3 as on now, but when the new one arrives and I separate the cables, how will I know that 1/2/3 are in the same order on the new one?
  14. It pays to do it 3 or 4 times a year, stops the problem from re-occuring and lenghtens the life of the cable
  15. Warning!!!!!! Be careful, if repair costs get close to bike value, they may write it off Insurance/repairers/solicitors, its a nest of vipers They wont give the bike back, you'll have to buy it back if its a write off
  16. yep, I use blu tac, tie the cable end up in he air fill the blu tac funnel with engine oil, come back next day, reconnect
