Noise

I drive a company van twice a week and this is Tax'd, mot'd and insured by them not me, the only thing i do to it is fill it up with diesel and heavy crap that needs repairs. Sounds to me that your boys firm is trying to cut their over heads and getting the lads to pay for their vehicles. He needs to be careful as DDT said, if they are this crafty with getting him to insure it or saying they will pay for it then it wouldn't supprise me if they pass the buck with out informing your son. Has he tried any other insurance companies? or is that £1326 the cheapest quote? As for his boss telling he to keep his head down, id definatly do that...........just id be looking fo a new job.

COPPER WIRE After having dug to a depth of 10 feet in 2011, French scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago. Not to be outdone by the French, in the weeks that followed, American archaeologists dug to a depth of 20 feet before finding traces of copper wire. Shortly afterwards, they published an article in the New York Times saying : "American archaeologists, having found traces of 250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the French." A few weeks later, The British Archaeological Society of Northern England reported the following: "After digging down to a depth of 33 feet in the Jarrow area of Tyne and Wear in 2013, Charlie Hardcastle, a self-taught amateur archaeologist, reported that he had found absolutely bugger all. Charlie has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Britain had already gone wireless." Makes you proud to be British.

Im gunna see how this one pans out, im going to sit firmly on the fence till its nearly done.

Congratulations Bip, im a country lad but was Born in Southampton and didn't leave there till i was 15, in the same boat as you that i would never leave the country unless the crap hit the fan and the twat Bill needs to be paid. Good luck with it and ride safe down there O and at Squires mines a large double whisky coke, no ice.

Just as long as they all post an intro im sure we will all be best fwends Thats cracking news tho, hopefully we are pleasing the all mighty god Alex

Very moving story and makes me love my dog a little more.

Yep my Draggy whines, totally normal. is it this loud? If so its normal

Ive not cut the stock ones but bought a set of long shot pipes off a guy on Ebay and cut them down, the front pipe (the slip on one) has a 1" pipe inside that goes from the Cylinder head right through which ive cut out so my pipes are 2" wide all the way through and she hasn't missed a beat and sounds um......loud. Skip to 4:30

Yer i wonder

Um, yup Looks that way but it was a pretty funny thread

All received mate, many thanks. Only realised when my phone started going mad at me ha ha

Na mate, wemoto sell the jets for £3 each. Im doing a write up soon on how i did my rejet as this is a common question.

Yer think I'll pull out too guys, will go get one done. Taken a bit longer than expected and still no light at the end of the tunnel.

Wrong!! £6 and about an hour of your time. Trial and error type of thing but can be done in about three attempts

If you took my bike id say 50 miles would be the limit

I was forced into my desk job after living the dream in the Army, then i was shoved infront of a PC at a light wood vinal desk drinking coffee from 0630-1630 monday to saturday just to pay the fat cats, i lothe my job and would change to some thing better if i could afford it but sadly the bill have to be paid. you have a job that (as you can see) most folk would give a limb for, but un-less this new job has a a good bullshit to pay ratio stick with what you got. most desk jobs involve being anal raped with the blunt bit of a biro pen with no chance of a reach around. Good luck with the interview but personally id stick with the job you love, yes money is great but you cant spend it in the grave.

"Frost" do a cleaning compound that gets rid of Bluing. Never used it nor have i heard how well it works just remebererereerd seeing it in the new catalouge i had through the door yesterday, and wanted to show i can read and feel special and wanted.

So far due to work and the wife letting me out to pay i've managed to clock up a good 185 miles on Betty so far no where near good enough. I managed to get out on her yesterday to meet up with a good mate of mine who has an old Kwak 750 chopper which we managed to have a little ride out on till he had to bugger off to do some more CBT's Next time im out i'll try and grab some piccies, off down the Weymouth bike night in July if anyone else fancies a meet?

Im staying faithful.............................for now, but if the next station has tits, im jumping trains.

Late reply i know, but i had the same thing with my bike. its definatly a dead cell in the battery and a new one is needed (just like you have done )

Sorry for late reply, there is a thread on here somewhere that has a link to a place that sell them but can't remember off the top of my head but a remember they where about 300 notes

I love the ones where they realise they left it too late for the brakes so resort to plan B and use their feet to try and slow down

right so you want to slap on a set of "universal" end pipe yes? not but the full set of proper after market ones? If you are going down the cut the pipes and slip on route your best bet is to get a sleeve made up and make sure you can still fit the heat sheld so it looks the same. as for the buying of after market ones there is no cutting etc involved just un bolt the old and bolt on the new.

Give you £5 and a turnip
