i'm still interested if the t-shirt is going ahead,

raining and cold in fife, hopefully get better next month

have to agree , i had the same problem with the virago, i used semi -synthetic oil and got all sorts of silly problems, reverted back to a good quality mineral oil, -no problems

well you could always consider one of these, friendly..good with kids...don't each much...and lets you know anytime someone comes near the gate....

well done...and good luck on mod2, keep us informed on how its going

scottish bike show, 10th &11th march, anyone fancy meeting up there for a burger,

bad week , fiirst whitney now H from steps has died

well why dont everyone whos going to the scottish bike show next month, arrange to meet at a stand /area get a blether / burger,...only a thought

Whitney Houston won an impressive six Grammy's in fourteen years... Slightly less impressive was her recent attempt at six grams in fourteen minutes... Whitney Houston died doing what she did best... Holding a note! Bobby Brown has been found dead in his LA apartment, his suicide note read "Two Can Play That Game" Was going to email simon cowell and ask him to do a tribute Album to whitney. heres the songs i would put on the Album 1, All the Man That I Need now All the crack I need 2, Could I Have This Kiss Forever now Could I have this high forever 3,Didn't We Almost Have It All now didn’t we almost snort it all 4,Exhale (Shoop Shoop) now Inhale (whoop whoop) 5,The Greatest Love of All now The greatest crack pipe of all 6,I Have Nothing now I Have Nothing find me a dealer bitch. 7,I Wanna Dance with Somebody now I Wanna Snort with Somebody 8,I'm Every Woman now I'm every junkie 9,It's Not Right but It's Okay now It's Not Right but It's Okay (fucking dealers) 10,My Name Is Not Susan now My Name Is Not Junkie biatch 11,Queen of the Night now Queen of the Night (Tokers) 12,Saving All My Love for You now Saving All My Cash for Drugs 13,Why Does It Hurt So Bad now Why Does It Hurt So Bad (when I run out) 14,You Give Good Love now You Give Good GEAR

i got off lightly, couple of tiles, accross the road has no fence left,and their garage roof is about off. hope eveyone else did't get too much damage

cheapest waterproofing youll get is fabric conditioner, buy cheepo from supermarket , put loads in the main wash cycle of your washing machine, job done...maybe need to air for a couple of days to get rid of smell.. but it works

has anyone done this before ? any hints / tips?

after a lot of probs i've had decided to post this up to hopefully help anyone with similar probs (copied from american web site,i have a copy in pdf if anyone wants me to e-mail it to them) Bike Battery Charging Problems - Troubleshooting & Fixing This procedure can help you find out why your bike battery does not charge correctly, and help you to fix that. This assumes that your bike has a permanent magnet 3 phase generator, a standard thyristor shunt type regulator rectifier (RR unit), and a 12Volt battery. You will need simple workshop tools including a multimeter with clips or an AVO, bits of wire and crimp terminals, a headlamp bulb and a soldering iron. It’s best to start at the beginning of the chart and work through each step in turn until the problem is found and fixed. It is not so unusual to have more than one problem on a bike charging system, and your bike will work better if all the problems are fixed. Please use a GOOD battery. The battery must be fully charged up first, using a bench charger. If not available, maybe you can borrow a charged good battery from another bike. Step 1 - Bike Leakage Current Test Put the battery back on the bike, but connect only the +VE clamp to the battery, leaving the –VE stud not connected. The battery voltage should measure 12V7 to 13V1 across the stud terminals on top of the battery. Measure the LEAKAGE CURRENT of the bike, by setting the meter to DC AMPS, connect one meter probe to battery -VE terminal, connect the other meter probe to the bike harness -VE battery strap / clamp. The current should be no higher than about 50mA (Ignition OFF). Press the brake lever just to check everything is connected okay - the brake light should light, the meter should read about 1A750. Note: 50mA leakage will take a week to flatten a 9Ahour battery. If the LEAKAGE CURRENT is less than 50mA, the bike leakage current is okay, please proceed to Step 2. If LEAKAGE CURRENT exceeds 50mA, there is a fault on the bikes wiring harness, maybe in the alarm. Try pulling fuses to locate the problem. Step 2 - Battery Charge-Holding Test Connect the -VE strap / clamp to the -VE battery terminal, so the battery is fully connected to the bike. The battery voltage should measure 12V7 to 13V1 measured across the stud terminals on top of the battery (ignition switch OFF). Switch on the headlights (ignition ON, engine OFF). Battery stud voltage should drop slowly, maybe down to about 12v4 over a period of 30 seconds. Switch off the headlights and ignition soon. If battery stud voltage remains above 12V4, then the battery is okay, please proceed to Step 3. If battery stud voltage drops below 12V4, the battery is not good and should be replaced. Step 3 - Functional Test of Whole Battery Charging System Complete all connections between the Generator, Regulator Rectifier Unit, Battery - just as normal. Set the meter to show DC VOLTS and connect the meter clips only to the stud terminals directly on top of the battery. The battery voltage should measure between 12V7 to 13V1 with engine OFF. Start up the engine and run at low idle speed. Meter should show battery charging voltage around 14V4 (limits are 13V6 to 14V9) at idle. Increasing engine speed should produce NO proportional increase in battery voltage, but often will produce some small and meaningless variations in voltage. Battery voltage should always remain between 13V6 and 14V9 while charging. Switching the headlight on and off creates big changes in power draw on the generator and battery, which usually results in a slight reduction of battery charging voltage. On older bikes it may be necessary to increase engine speed slightly (maybe 2500RPM) so charging can keep up with the headlight current. Charge voltage between 13V6 and 14V9? Everything is good, battery charges perfectly. Please clean up & go have a beer. Charge voltage >15V? RR is defective, needs to be replaced. Charge voltage <13V5? Please go to step 4.

usual crap weather in fife as well, no snow but passed a snowplough on the A1 this afternoon.

stolen from another forum: I got sacked last night from the Salvation Army soup kitchen, ungrateful bleeders, all I said was, 'hurry up for christs sake, some of us have got homes to go to!' Christmas is like any other day for me, sitting at the table with a big fat bird who doesn't gobble anymore. Women should be like golf caddies, either holding your balls or getting your bloody tee ready! Last night I was sitting on the sofa watching tv when I heard my wife's voice from the kitchen, 'what you like for dinner my love, chicken, beef or lamb?' I said, 'Thank you, I'll have chicken please' She replied, 'You're having soup you fat bastard, I was talking to the cat!' Not every flower can say love, but a rose can. Not every flower can survive thirst, but a cactus can. Not every vegetable can read, but bless, look at you having a little go! Got myself a new Jack Russell puppy, he's mainly black and brown with a small white patch, so I've named him Birmingham. In an Indian restaurant last night having a meal, waiter came over and says, 'Curry Ok?' I said, 'go on then, just one song then bugger off' I was sat in a restaurant and got hit on the back of the head by a prawn cocktail. I looked round and this bloke shouts, 'That's just for starters!' Firemen have just rescued an Irish man with his penis stuck in a condom machine. They asked him what happened and he said, 'the sign says, insert £2 and push knob in'. Yoko Ono has been signed up for the next series of 'I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!' Show bosses think she will do really well since she's been living off a dead Beatle for the last thirty years.

Why do some @rseholes, call you,text you arrange to come and view, and dont f**ki@ show up. sorry rant over...normal service will be resumed soon

i had a few probs with batteries until i got an optimate charger,it has been a good investment for me, prices vary but sometimes you'll get a good deal on *bay

1 in black please size xl

deffo. interested (blue or black ), im easily pleased, (as long as my bike starts and my ciders cold)

have to go all in with a lamb bhuna, pilau rice, garlic nan a few popadoms and a half dozen cans of cider

Had a problem like that a few yrs back , turned out the ht leads needed changed due to them "breaking down" when hot,

Dont do any either, seems to be everone wants to tell everyone else when they go for a pi$$,or a $hit on these sites

as soon as the bike was back at my garage the stickers were removed
