  1. There was a report on HFM just before Xmas from the police warning owners in the Harborough area that there had been a few thefts of bikes, mainly ones that had been left out the front in the Northampton road area.

    Nice, I wish I still had mine.
  3. Yeah but just before it (he/she) looks at the other vehicle, it was looking down at something...

    If the markers nib is too big for your chip, dob a bit of paint on a piece of plastic then use something smaller to apply it, possible a tooth pick or a cotton bud. If you chew the end of a wooden tooth pick slightly it makes a good fine brush.

    If you click on edit the stream button you can select new since my last visit. Must admit though I preferred the new since last visit as it was.

    Are the Japanese imports still restricted? I had a Subaru Legacy Estate Twin Turbo which had to put in some electrickery thingy to change the speedo so that the kph were actually mph.

    Phosphoric acid and water, that's basically what Jenolite is, also makes a good flux when soldering if you have nothing else.

    That's bad luck, but also good they were stopped. Unfortunately smaller bikes are easier to steal because they don't weigh as much so easier to quickly stick in a van, I would say it was just opportunist that had spotted your new bike, whenever I leave mine I always try to chain it to something, steering lock, disc lock goes on as well, and it also has an alarm and immobiliser. Make is as difficult as possible for someone to take it, and chances are they will look for an easier target.

    I had exactly the same one to the word when I recently sold my Renault Kangoo van, played along for a bit just to waste their time.
  10. Yeah not popular, I had one from new many moons ago, is yours the later one with the full seat or the earlier one with a single seat and the optional pillion seat or top box? Mine was the earlier version in metallic maroon. As said RD200 engine with single carb, chrome mudguards and more rounded tank.

    Are you sure that the buckle is the wheel rim and not just the tyre not seated right making the wheel look buckled.

    According to this MCN review they will do around 60mph, obviously not restricted so cant be ridden under moped licence rules. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-reviews/yamaha/tzr50/2003/
  20. Yeah I am getting the show all content message now, was OK earlier last week.
  21. If you get around 50ml out by the filter, just put the filter back on and run the engine for a bit to refill the filter then take it out again, repeat until you have the level where it should be, then let the garage deal with the drain plug at the next service.

    MS makes most of its money from the OEM suppliers, (The computer makers, selling licences to them) so in the long term by keeping as many people on Windows as they can by offering a free update they hope to reep the benefits by more people buying new computers/tablets/phones with Windows installed in the future.
