Happy birthday Stevie boy. don't have too much and end up doing

When you press the starter button does the oil warning light come on? I had a very similar problem on my diversion (your seca). The wire from the starter button goes to the starter solenoid via a relay located under the seat. The end of the starter button wire that goes into the relay was corroded so I cleaned up the end and stuck it back in then taped it in place and now it works perfect. Hope this helps Mike

Hi Quintain and welcome to the forum There are a few bus pass holders on here, in fact there is a range of all ages from 16 to bus pass age. What was the bike you had in the sixties?

I think it had been in the hands of the yanks as well at one time but when I was there it was a Royal Naval air station.

Mr N, that was FANTASTIC

effin brill Mr N

Hi welshwan, I'm not welsh but I was stationed at Brawdy in the sixties.

Hi Steve, welcome to the forum. I just got back from Cheltenham, great ride to Chippenham via Cirencester.

That's nothing Emilt, soon I will be going to see the BAY CITY ROLLERS Whoooooah!!!!

You are doing brilliant at the moment Emil.

What do you mean S?, North of where? Or am I being ignorant of the States? If we say North in England we mean either Scotland or the North Pole.

Welcome to the forum Emils, you have done right by introducing yourself properly, Don't worry about your English, we can fully understand it. in fact it is very good, after a few months you will be talking like a true cockney.

Cheers, ddt, that clears up everything. Bit early for that though aint it though? By the way, what is your first name, I have noticed some members call you Newman/Numan (bit rude I thought)

DDT, New avitar, do not like, is it a cavalier or some sort of breakfast cerial? (Quakers oats?)

Sorry Alex, it's not often you get it right but you got it wrong again! Only joking

Hi again Ray, What a small world, you living in Chippenham and me stationed in Pompy, well Gosport really. How is Pompey/Gosport nowadays? I bet the Lennox next to the railway station isn't there anymore.

Grouchy, I ride my bike every working day and I only need to adjust the chain about twice a year. But, and I mean But, now it's coming up to winter I keep it well oiled/waxed. I tend to keep a spray can of lubricant at home and at work so when I get to work in this shitty weather while the chain is warm I put the bike on the centre stand and give it a good spray and let it settle while I'm at work. I hope this helps

Whaaaaaaaat???? dismantle my engine to access the filter I don't think so. also I think my bike has a strainer and not a conventional filter? is it a bike or a kettle?

Not quite sure where this one is leading to Merv, but it does remind me of a joke by Max Miller. There was a family of mice living in Piccadilly Circus. The young son was walking along in a bit of a daydream in the gutter when all af a sudden he got run over by a bus. He crawled up the curb onto the pavement and into a music shop. He said to the owner of the music shop, "excuse me, but have you got any mouse organs?" The proprietor said "It's funny you should ask that, because only this morning I had a young girl mouse asking exactly the same." The boy mouse said. "That must have been "our Monica"

Merv, I agree with sniff6. It's an old one.

WHAT ON EARTH was she doing trying to overtake the lorry when there was traffick coming the other way so close to her?

Welcome Marcus, a sincere welcome to the forum. I am half Irish, my mother came from Omagh in county Tyrone.

Hi Ray, welcome to the forum. Introduce yourself a little bit more and that will be great.

And also what comes out their exhaust is good for the environment.(as in roses)

What can I say? Apart from from what I've already said, they should have never got rid of horses, when they go wrong all you have got to do is shoot it and get another one. Sorry Ttasky.
