Errrrr That was what I meant... Cough, Cough It seemed like a good idea to say it at the time............................Now where is that remove post button?

It could be a bad conection on the electrics. For example a bad clutch wire. Item 6 Here

I didn't see Dr Dick V Dyke coming but I felt his presence I have a split personality. I don't understand why I don't have to pay twice on the bus but at least I am never alone!!

Isn't it going to be dangerous having the PC and Mod'ing so close to the sink?

Helmets Don't buy second hand helmets. Don't paint them. Don't let kids run around with them on headbutting things. If you can get a good deal on the Internet visit your local supplier and try on the exact helmet you want for size, fit and comfort and then go home and buy on line. Buy a good brand and make sure that it is as highly rated as you can afford (ACU Gold or the likes). Clothing Kevlar or body armour is good. Look for triple stitching where possible. Being wet cold or uncomfortable saps your concentration so make sure you are none of these.

Keep her knickers on! She only wears them to keep her ankles warm I do lube - Ooh errr - I think there needs to be a caveat around lubing cables. I know that, for a while, some bike cables came with a thin plastic coating around the inner cable. These cables should not be lubed as it causes the plastic to swell and jam in the outer sleeve.

I use natures way - Rain. I only clean one if it is up for sale or a bird has S*at on the seat.

That CZ Cezeta is lovely.

Have you tried Jaffa Cakes? I am not sure if they are a cake or a biscuit though!

Once the battery is charged, take the plugs out and pour a little fuel into the bores. It gives it a head start.

Congratulations Goff.

Thanks OG. I sure know how to make myself popular. I am a firm believer in the Edmund Burke theory - "All that is needed for evil to prevail is that good men do nothing" There are several versions of this however, this is the one I prefer.

Sorry OG! I would go as far as to say that only paid members can view the wants and sales as anyone can join the forum and then PM someone who has a post there, do a deal, and never post or contribute to the forum! It all ties up server space and bandwidth.

A bit of a rant really. I am sure this will not make some people happy but there seem to be more and more people wanting and selling in posts outside the proper parts of the forum! I understand that you need to pay a membership fee to post there but it seems to me that people are posting threads and just happen to mention that "they want a xxx" or "they just happen to have a yyy for sale" or "have lots of spare parts for a zzz" Personally I would like to see these type of posts edited as it devalues all of us who have paid the cash. Well I did say some of you would be p*ssed off. End of rant.

Well they would know a lot about being overweight! Sorry but stuff like this makes my blood boil. When my youngest passed his car test he was driving a few days afterwards and on the road where there was a speed hump and priority reduced bollards a police car coming the other way pulled in front of him. My son had priority. The cop got out and said that my son had no road tax. My son pointed to the windscreen and said what is that in the window? The car was 100% legal. But it could have caused an accident him being so new to driving and the cop was obviously an arsehole.

Would that not make the car unstable? I know a lot about being unstable - Well that is what my therapist said!

Click Here It could be worth asking MCN what law was being used!

Maybe I should just turn the box around! Oh dear the John Smiths has started tonight.

What law was broken? If they believe that a traffic law has been broken they should not allow the rider to ride. That is like saying to a drunk driver - drive to the police station and we with breathalyse you!

I understand that but why a dyno? So they can dyno a transit van? They must have issued paperwork so what law was broken?

To be honest I am not sure if it is the police on the ground, although some of them are power crazy. They have a hard job but get told what to do my their superiors and the government. It would be easy for a chief constable to bump up their targets by fining young riders when they should be out catching criminals including bike thief's. What was the cost of the police time in carrying out all the procedures and then I would question the results. The moped seems to pass every test except; maximum design speed not exceeding 50 kilometres per hour (km/h) (about 31 miles per hour (mph)However, to me, the phrase "design speed" means that the moped was designed to do that speed. That would assume certain conditions. It must have passed all the UK Certificate of Conformity and EEC testing at the time it got accepted as a moped. It does not say that the moped should not be able to do a greater speed! So what is the fine for? If they are saying that the bike has been tuned or deristricted then this needs to be proved and would invalidate any insurance and possibly driving licence and therefore did a summons get issued? I find it strange that a police station needs to have a dyno machine. Very weird!

Ah I forgot about the weight of the paint. I do need to sand the seam out but it is the Mark 1. I have played Air Guitar. Rock City, Nottingham 1994

Should I stealth paint the box and car?

Nice one Little Dave. I saw that in a dream last night. My plans are now becoming a reality. Pictures of the Mark 1 test version are below.

How can you create a law that says "limited to 31MPH"? That is like saying a cooker must boil an egg without specifying whether that is a Quail or Ostrich egg and the amount of water in the pan. It may not be a good idea but have you tried to slacken the throttle cable so there is a lot of slack in it? This way the carb will never be fully open. You can tighten it when you sell the bike and it could save you messing about with it.
