Noise

bollocks well least it will get me away from the wife for a few nights months

HaHa, Sorry Ian, not into Trains just tanks and bikes................o and whiskey, and women etc etc

yer it took me a while to get mine back from the DVLA, will they not even accept the certificates that you got? they prove you have a full ticket

Well i started stripping the bike down last night and i thought id try to start her and she's having non of it. so while she was on axle stands i thought id see if she would bump start stuck her in 2nd clutch in and started spinning the wheel...................................um nope the wheel did not spin it was like i didn't even have the clutch pulled in??? anyone think this is to do with my problem? When in Neutral the wheel spins freely, pull clutch kick into gear and will not spin freely

Na Grouch can give you a lift back on the XT

Well here we go again. Got home from work and was supposed to go to Karate but thought id get cracking with the bike instead. this only took me just over an hour and a half, all thats left on are the exhausts, foot pegs, engine and all the wiring and battery. But when i took the swing arm off i did notice that the shaft coupling housing is leaking oil???? hmm will have to investigate

Um...........I could be the sligh badger that stood n watched the hare n tortoise race? Lol

Just think. Cage driver listen to music (some very loud) is that illegal? can they hear their surroundings? are they distracted? No its not illegal. I have tried to listen to music on the bike but i have an open faced lid and all i get is wind noise. So crack on mate, just be a little more observant of whats going on around you

Er Can i join the race now that ive been Grouched? see if i can build a shed, strip and fix my engine before these two get their act together? Insert evil laugh

This bloke needs a girlfriend.

Congratulations mate. hope the bike passes it MOT

touch wood ive not come off the bike but i have had some motorbike related fails. Both with my 125 draggy and the 650 when i stripped them down and then rebuilt them i get the out side to fire them up to which they wouldn't. So thinking ive missed a wire or something else i re-drain the fuel tank and proceed to strip and re-check every thing ONLY to find.........................................IVE LEFT THE BASTARD KILL SWITCH ON!!!!!!!!

I have never done a mechanics course nor have i ever wanted to be a mechanic, i have two tool boxes with the billy basic socket set, screw drivers and 4 hammers etc so armed with them (manly the hammers) and my Haynes manwell i just get out there n get stuck in. As they say if its already broken how are you going to break it? Your get it there mate, keep ya chin up and make sure you got a whiskey to hand when you start stripping her down

I guess it would be their softail model. very much a good look alike http://dummidumbwit.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/2005-harleydavidson-softailstandard-fxst1.jpg

not yet mate, i may take that title off you one day. Have hope

Good on you gizz, id love to get a hardly too some day. Just need the wonga

Hey guys, tools in my cubby hole are in a bag and dont rattle. With the gears I couldnt get out of 2nd as she dropped so much power she couldnt pull her self in 3rd. Airhead, I know I neglected her. I didnt put 3/4 in her I just forgot to do an oil change. (fist fuck me later) No dodgy stuff in the old oil so im hoping thats a good omen.

No engine light comes on with ignition then goes out as normal. Yer gunna invest in a compression tester soon drew. Got fuel and lecky. Just this tapping/knocking sound has gotten louder since last week then she lost all power n then just died on me. I gave her a kiss n cuddle n will get cracking on her soon.

Ha ha, im not going to get into another one of them threads with saying things about the viggies, But yes I agree with that the draggy is a very close hardly look alike but imo the viggies look horrid. Sorry ha ha

Why not, he can see you get shamed then you can get revenge by embarrassing him in the middle of town

In the process of building my man cave at the mo just need some up rights and some bits for a roof n floor. This one will be big enough to walk around the bike not like the last one where I had to climb over the thing.

Well riding home from work my little rattle got louder then 5 miles from home she lost power and I couldn't get out of 2nd, then going down my drive she died and now wont start she will turn over for one rotation and wont fire. Cheers grouchy loves ya mate xx

A pork pie is like your grannies fanny. You got to bite the crust lick out the jelly to get to the meat

Well done him! i was never really into martial arts but when my mate Dave (everyone has a mate called Dave) dragged me along to a lesson i was hooked. Why not get your boy to show you some moves or see about joining up with him n have one of them father son time thingys

Natural selection at its best. 3.35 does the saying "blowing on a oil rig fire" spring to mind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbjZdNdLo0k
