  2. An older couple , who were both widowed , had been going out with each other for a long time ....Urged on by their friends , they decided it was finally time to get married . Before the wedding , they went out to dinner and had a long conversation regarding how their marriage might work. They discussed finances, living arrangements , and so on . Finally the old gentleman decided it was time to broach the subject of their physical relationship . " How do you feel about s#x ?" he asked, rather tentatively . "I would like it infrequently ", she replied ...........The old gentleman sat quietly for a few moments , adjusted his glasses , leaned twords her and whispered . " Is that one word or two ?" ........
  3. FAQ for pictures mate,,,,,little confusing at first but you'll get it in the end !

  7. Welcome along Islander. Its a way of life that only Islanders know I wouldnt mind a visit there,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,so Blackhat mabey well team up !
  8. Welcome along sir. Keeping an open mind answers lots of questions !!!
  9. (1) Yep, high ping is what ya want. Find a few that are of the same sound,,,then tighten the others to this. (2) Unless they are very loose you will only be giving each one a slight turn. If its just the odd spoke here and there then its ok to just slightly nip them up. If on the other hand they are all loose on the same side of the wheel for example then it gete more tricky. You will have to make sure you are not pulling the wheel out of true. Overtighting on one side will loosen the other side and you will end up with a mess,,,,,,a wheel out of true and never keep tyres on the old girl. Put the wheel into whatever ya used to check the balance,,,, Hammer a nail into a piece of wood,,,, Hold the piece of wood in something steady and place the nail end 1mm (or less if ya can) from the iron rim of the wheel,,,, Spin the wheel slowly at first and then at different speeds,,,, The iron rim of the wheel should never hit the nail,,,,,it should stay the same distance away all the time while the wheel is turning. (3) Could be something else,,,,,,,,,,how bad a crash was the bike in ? was it a head on hit ? Jaysus that took me ages to type
  10. :lol: :lol: That exhaust is now fucked. Do as up.yours has said,,,,,,,,,,,,,it leaves inside the exhaust shiney clean,,,,,,,,,,,shiney i say
  11. Plus all your spokes should "Ping" to the same note when gently tapped with a screwdriver or the like. If you have a lot of tightening to do on the spokes then be prepaired for punctures unless you take the tyre off and file down the ends of the spokes !
