Hi and welcome to the forum.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I have had one but I can't remember TBH.

UK ebay but this type of stuff. Good for sticking captive nuts too. LINKY

Make sure you don't pop in here I haven't been there since 2009 when I took this.

+1 fibreglass on the seat pan plus a little liquid metal if required.

Works for me.

Rural roads. Now lets see....................... Head on collision speeds at 120mph. Assuming both vehicles are doing 60 MPH so that is not good. Not a lot of run off at times. A giant oak tree or dry stone wall are not the best things to hit. But really......... You would struggle with the "golden hour" where you really need to get to A&E. If you end up in a ditch there is a good chance that nobody will find you for a while so your chances of surviving are reduced. Even if someone sees you, by the time they called 999 (assuming you have a phone signal) and an ambulance comes you may have been laying there for a long while. I would like to see a map the accidents in relation to the nearest A&E hospital. Sometimes there is just nothing that can be done. That's life (sic).

Hi and welcome to the forum. Stick the issues up in the workshop section as the new members section is only read by a few of us. Look for any earth that is acting as a kill switch around the ignition and earthing out the coil.

Glad it worked Jason. You can alter the way it looks. Things I use are: Firefox 3 theme for firefox 4+ - this makes the appearance more old IE New tab homepage - this opens any new tabs as your homepage. I use google.com as a homepage with the predictive words turned off. Google translator - Very handy to translate those foreign ebay pages before you push "Buy it now" Advertising cookie opt out - stops a lot of the ads based on your resent searches. If I am looking for a TS part I dont need adverts for BMW parts. To add these, or any others at the top of the page click Tools > add ons Loads of stuff in there. If you right click at the top of the page and tick Menu Navigation Bookmarks It starts to look like a web page browser. I never use IE unless I have no option.

Clean all the terminals including the coil and change the plug before spending any cash.

Spada boots are good but come up very small in my experience (most boots seem to). I have a pair of Akito's which are great and a pair of Alpinestars. The Astars are great but not really worth the 3 times cost of the Akitos. If you want to go casual, you can't beat a pair of monkey boots. You can get them on ebay.

The MOT's and any HPI check will flag it. Be honest when you sell. The last MOT will say what the approximate mileage was. The only way that it might affect your insurance is if the mileage on the old MOT + an assumed mileage form how many months before it broke + any new mileage was more than your insured stated mileage. eg assuming you have 5k maximum mileage for insurance: last MOT was 10,000 miles + 2.5k miles assumed (speedo broke after 6 months) + new speed shows 4k miles for the remaining 6 months.

Probability the carb floats for the leak. or the jet not seating properly. Dry out the cylinder. Leave the plug out for a while. A drop of engine oil in the plug hole (teaspoon full). turn the engine over a couple of times. Ready for the plug to go back in. Half a teaspoon of petrol in the plug hole. Plug in, cap on and turn it over.

I think you can run it in firefox. I dont have sky but use Firefox as the default browser. Read the linky as they seem to have it running. Make sure you have the right flashplayer as there were some issues last month with the latest Firefox upgrade. LINKY

Just a quick update. Lots of parcels and packets are still being delivered. My better half called me at work last week after the postman had been and said it was starting to get embarrassing Had a row with the people at parcelfarce about a parcel from the States that was being held for customs charging but I had not received the card to enable me to pay them. Sorted that. A late delivery from Juan-les-Pins yesterday evening with another pukker exhaust, a chrome tail piece (both hens teeth parts) and a few other pieces. Some parts still on backorder. Still some painting to do. A reducing parts list. I have one set of forks apart but I think it is too late to get these hard chromed now. I am probably going to have to tidy up the other forks I have for the time being. Sourced a headlight - Hope it gets through an MOT - but still looking for a better one. Apparently it is the same as Yamaha Part.number 1A0-64320-61-00 as fitted to RD400's and XS 400's. Anyone have a good one? Called the wheel bloke. He said he was still waiting for the rims? Will start to push him next week. The seat is going to be a lot of work but are very difficult to find. A few more bits bolted on. That's about it. Possibly some pictures to follow if the rain stops

This is going to be a good one. Don't use WD40, use Plusgas or PB blaster (state side).

A scary combined age and I am not talking about the bikes. No Pat?

Hi and welcome to the forum. Is that Albert E ??

I am going. Hopefully on the TS.

Sound like a short. Same as Airhead says, look around the headstock. Be careful of fire.

Hi and welcome to the forum Paul.

I'm fatter than someone from Bangladesh. Even if I lost 4 stone I would still be heavier.

A double pink gin? can you hold that given the old limp wrists?
