  9. An elderly woman walked into the Royal Bank of Canada one morning with a purse full of money. She wanted to open a savings account and insisted on talking to the president of the Bank because, she said, she had a lot of money. After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client is always right) an employee took the elderly woman to the president's office. The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted to dep osit. She placed her purse on his desk and replied, '$165,000'. The president was curious and asked her how she had been able to save so much money . The elderly woman replied that she made bets. The president was surprised and asked, 'What kind of bets?' The elderly woman replied, 'Well, I'll bet you $25,000 that your testicles are square.' The president started to laugh and told the woman that it was impossible to win a bet like that. The woman never batted an eye. She just looked at the president and said, 'Would you like to take my bet?' 'Certainly', replied the president. 'I bet you $25,000 that my testicles are not square.' 'Done', the elderly woman answered. 'But given the amount of money involved, if you d on't mind I would like to come back at 10 ' clock tomorrow morning with my lawyer as a witness.' 'No problem', said the president of the Bank confidently. That night, the president became very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of the mirror examining his testicles, turning them this way and that, checking them over again and again until he was positive that no one could consider his testicles as square and reassuring himself that there was no way he could lose the bet. The next morning at exactly 10 o'clock the elderly woman arrived at the president's office with her lawyer and acknowledged the $25,000 bet made the day before that the president's testicles were square. The president confirmed that the bet was the same as the one made the day before. Then the elderly woman asked him to drop his pants etc. So that she and her lawyer could see clearly. The president was happy to oblige. The elderly woman came closer so she could see bette r and asked the president if she could touch them. 'Of course', said the president. 'Given the amount of money involved, you should be 100% sure.' The elderly woman did so with a little smile. Suddenly the president noticed that the lawyer was banging his head against the wall. He asked the elderly woman why he was doing that and she replied, 'Oh, it's probably because I bet him $100,000 that around 10 o'clock in the morning I would be holding the balls of the President of the Royal Bank of Canada !'

    service

    1st,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Stay away from BikeWorld,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,they know nothing about bikes. Sure, they have a big fancy shop with lots of bikes for sale,,,,,,but thats it,,,,,,ive herd so many bad stories about them. 2nd,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,read your "HAYNES" manual 2nite till your eyes are bleeding and wont stay open. 3rd,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I know a good lad in Co.Meath that will get your bike sorted propperly,,,,,,,,,,hes cheep and good.

Best of luck
  11. Are ya sure ya really really cleaned the carb,,,,,,sounds like blocked pilet jet. The overflowing prob is the float sticking or the needle and its seat are worn and might need replacing. Sticking float will flood the carb and cause engine to stop like your saying. Start a new thread of your own on this matter,,,,,,more chance of getting help m8

    YBR mirrors

    Well, im sure you could get longer after-market mirrors,,,,,,measure the length of yours and search E-bay for longer. Other than that you will just have to tuck in your elbows quickly whenever you look in the mirror.
  13. And your question is ?? Sounds normal enough to me !!!
  14. Hey Alex, Hows the aul diving going? See any sexy mirmades ???????? I'll try explain, Say i click on a thread and read down to say post 7, then i stop reading. then i go and do something else, have a coffey and read a different post. Well the next time i come back to the first thread i was reading when i click on it the thread would automatically jump down to post 8 because i had read all the posts down to 7. Dont know if that makes sence or not,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,anyway dont be worrying about it,,,,,,i was just saying like. I'm sure ya have enough ta be doin. Take it easy
  15. :unsure: I must off missed the other thread ! Dont panic too much about it dude.
  16. Yep, tis much faster Does it not show when a member is on-line in the posts ? And does the post not jump down to the last place you read ? I'm not boathered really just askin !
  17. Sounds like the float in that carb is sticking or the seat and needle may be worn. First try tapping the float bowl to see will it free,,,,,,,if not then youll have to look at the needle and its seat. Hope This Helps
  18. Jimbo,,,,, i do have a little project lying in wait for the winter weather. Its a little mini moto dirt bike. But thats for a different thread. Where bouts ya from,, i could be passin your way on me travels
  19. Cheers for that Ttasky,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i forgot i allready had a plug ref chart somewhere. Ill get out and run her at different speeds/revs then after each run ill check plugs out. I was giving her a service and now thats its done i'm probably just over paranoied. ill check it out the weekend and hopefully get it sorted.
  20. Well i do very much rather not to do any work on her. She runs fine. On the other hand i'm about to clock up 1000 + miles on her in 2 weeks time and id hate to think that im tramping along the road with the pistons running a little hotter that they should. She has a K&N oil filter on her,,,,,,,now i didnt look at air filter but im presuming thats K&N also. Mabey thats giving her a little more air rather than the standerd filter. Other than that the bike is totally standard, so air filter changed but mabey carbs not adjusted to suit. Not that they should need adjusting ! I think ill leave her as she is ! More thaughts please ???
  21. Ok, last weekend i looked at the plugs on me Fazer. They were rather whiteish in colour,,,,,, like new plugs with just the tinyist bit of light gray. Anyway i put them back in for now,,,,they look fine, right gap and everything. The bike runs good and smoth as it is,,,,,,,,,SO,, Should i leave the thing as it is ( not broken so dont fix ) OR should i make a little adjustment and try get her to run a bit more rich ? ? ? What ye think ?
  22. If ya say when your going then peops might know About 2 hour ride is it ? One tank of fuel,,,,,,,,,, no probs Enjoy it !
