I think our Brussels Government have got it right this time. Get rid of all those nasty, smelly bikers and their rides. For the very few that are left they; Won't have to worry about what colour leathers to wear - Yellow will be the only choice. They won't have to attend rallies like Goodwood or squires - They will be banned from riding their bikes from their urban homes. Compulsory ABS will mean that German bikes WILL rule the world - This serves us right for winning the war. All that stock of non yellow clothing and aftermarket parts waiting to be sold so the Government can collect the VAT will have to be disposed of in a land fill site. Stopping the emergency stop is a leap forward, someone may get whiplash. Think of all those car whiplash claims during the test, supported by the soft liberals, and how much money we can save there. Anyway, why practice an emergency stop when there is always a biker to use as a stopper? It will save car brake pads and allows people to lie and commit insurance fraud when they lie and say the biker was at fault. Well done the Government, nice to know that you have approached this in the same manor as most of the other legislation you produce.

we have to call it bariatric at work.

Great stuff.

Try Pixresizer, I use it, it is free and you can do one or multiple pics in one go LINKY

As if!! I know my place. Doormat?......... I have "WELCOME" tattooed on my back. They are more Extra large than medium OG.

How can people drive a "wing" and feel superior? I was at Box Hill a loooooong time ago and a wing went to go around a mini roundabout that was on a camber. It ground out on its side, both wheels came off the ground and it fell over. Not good. OG - You are a bad man.

I think June 5th is the queens diamond jubilee so if it was that weekend it could be the YOC queens rideout. I am sure there will be people interested in that. ;-)

no worries, my skin is a lot thicker than that. as discussed at the YOC weekend. you ARE a legend, we just haven't told you yet.

June 4, June 5 & august 27 are bank holidays in England & Wales. so is December 25 but I guess that is too late.

I will go back to my tacos, Senor. The OP said "garden" not "yard" so I should have known.

Or an XT500

Ouch.

Sorry to hear the job news Merv. I am only contracted until March next year. Something will turn up. As for the Devonshire trip, I just to balance out my other post. I would not be adverse to this, home boss permitting, and it would be good to tie it in to a local event.

Good luck Kishan. I don't have a Yam, at the moment, but am determined to stick around just to annoy people.

Cheers Cynic. I will pick up a heat gun during the week. I was going to use the hot/cold method of getting the bearings back in but did intend to put the casings in the oven (and bearings in the freezer). I will try the heat gin for that as well now. A bit of a way off thinking of bearing fitting, Need to clean and spray first. I will also try the heat for the blind bearing and then the rawlbolt.

I have seen that type of extractor. I might get one. I did think about a rawlbolt. at the moment the bearing is sitting in a bath of plusgas

Cheers yamahait. I have read about blind bearing removals like this. Another suggestion is to fill the bearing space with grease or soggy tissue and then knock a shaft into the bearing hole and pneumatic pressure pushes the bearing out. Luckily the Taxman sent me a cheque on Saturday for £223 that he owed me from 2008.

Yep. This is on a tranny shaft. I do have to knock out a needle bearing but it is not blind. I just wanted to make sure that the bearings were still available before I beat it out.

Cynic - Oh yes a blow torch. Boy are they expensive for what they are. Would a box of matches do? Drewps - Thanks for the offer of the loan. I have a Halfords Professional set of stud extractors which seem OK to do most things, well with the 600mm breaker bar attached Like these LINKY but part of the professional range. Have you a different one or a recommendation ta? I will also need a blind bearing puller, looked at a couple which use hooks but there is no gap under this bearing. Bummer!! Mind you I do love tools.

I just use a cover, When it looks like is is going to crack due to the cold, leave it on, if not ride the bike.

Er..............I will buy a different bike Just plusgassed the rest and will do it ove the week and then the week and plussgas.

And a golf course nearby for a little off roading I will have to ask permission to go anywhere next year, again, but my initial thoughts would be; 1) The distance for the northern/Scottish and Irish members (assuming anyone outside this area would fly anyway) 2) The meaning of the word "mass" This years is the first one I have been to and there were not that many from the forum so the other bikers made up the number, sort of. These things are notoriously difficult to set up and people start dropping like flys the closer it gets. Sorry if it sounds negative but 3 blokes in a field or 3 blokes at somewhere LIKE Squires make completely different weekends.

That is supposed to be a lethal combination plus not good for the internal organs so I may leave that at one of the last options Blackhat. Cheers Cynic. I started a new thread on the heat thing and OG says about the same thing. Cheers.
