    ebay bidding

    Unless the guy has set a higher max bid, and runs a program to bid for him. I will put in the most I'm willing to pay including the p&p and then just leave it. If I win, I win..if not ah well
  2. Well folks, I've packed my kit and tomorrow morning, me, t'wife and kids are all off to Spain for a few weeks, so be good and I'll bring you all a stick of rock home.
  3. Back in 1991 I joined the Dog Section, and immediately was bombarded with all sorts of advice and information. One older guy took me aside and told me 'never mind all that, heres my advice...Trust no cnut above the rank of Dog' I have held on to that sage offering ever since. My auld mates favourite saying was 'spick and span...Dangerous man. Bag of shite...mans' alright' yea you've guessed it, he was a bag of shite.
  4. Where was that john. Kinna looks like the area around Anniesland cross in Glasgow
  5. Give them a call on Monday and hear it straight from the horses mouth
  6. Not sure about the DVLA, but the passport office recommend sending multiple applications together so maybe thats the advice from all Govt departments
  7. Agree with Foamy, new tyres but I would say you should change the fluid as well. Easy enough to do with an easy bleed kit (basically a length of tube blanked at one end and a small slit in it). Fit the open end over the bleed nipple, place the slitted end in a jar with some fluid in it. Open the reservoir, open the bleed nipple, and pump away to your hearts content. Make sure the reservoir does not empty or you'll get air bubbles
  8. Is Barnard Castle the one on the West side of the A66 just googled it and I'm thinking of Brougham Castle

    Mug Shots

    I genuinely dont know Ian. 105mile round trip to work could take anything between £13 and £16 depending on how spirited I was riding. As a comparison my Triumph Bonneville will be between £9 and £12, and my Honda civic 1.4 car will be around £14

  12. Never pointless, well done mate. My 3 kids love on the bikes, the auldest has his own now which opened up a whole new set of worry beads when he turned 16
  13. Pretty much so. You would need to get brackets to fit tho'
  14. I sing at the lights, I sing riding along, I sing all the while on the bike. I'm at my happiest on a bike (although according to the missus that won't mean much as I'm a constant moaning b'stard in her eyes)
  15. We used to stand at that hairpin, my pal would cup one hand to his ear and declare 'hark I hear disaster coming', point at a rider and invariably this guy would fall off. He was either very good at reading race lines or else he is a witch
  16. Not the full picture You should wait at the scene for a 'reasonable' time, if unable to find the owner of the property you damaged, then you must report it to the Police at the earliest opportunity but within 24hrs. Basically if you pass a number of Cop shops on the way home but dont report it until the next day, suspicions will be raised.
  17. Don't know what I'll get, but I remember a number of years ago, my pals auld man got a 4 into 1 for a Z1100, when asked what use that is to him, his son, my mate replied, 'ok then I'll have it, it'll fit my bike'
  18. Nice bike mate, did the trailer come with it
  19. Lovely bike bips welcome to the world of Brit bikes. We'll get you on to an auld Triumph in no time. Here a pic of your bikes uncle Are you leaving the topbox on, or just keeping it for when needed

  24. Know what gets me, people post intros on this forum, they then post queries in the workshop section, they talk about yamahas, they talk about non yams all in the correct sections, then a bluddy Mod starts a thread about the blooming astral calendar in the bike section........shouldn't be allowed I tell you, rant, rant, rant
