I didn't make it, I took the day off but my bike wasn't running right so decided to stay local

Not far from me John might take day off today

Hi & welcome to YOC

could be your choke is sticking on, could be a lot of things try new plugs check the timing, points etc I always had trouble with the points on mine, do you have an inline fuel filter if not your carbs may need cleaning again! edit oh have you checked the vacuum pipe from tank to carb for splits and that the carbs are fitted correctly

I'd go for something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tech-7-Black-Expandable-Throw-Over-Panniers-Saddlebags-Motorcycle-Luggage-/131310977111?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e92be8057put your stuff in bin liners first so it stays dry bargain at £40 and you have them for future use, I use mine at least once a year edit might also be worth a look but ending soon http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OXFORD-HUMPBACK-SOFT-PANNIERS-/161700784982?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item25a61e2b56

still not heard back from this Drew and as far as I can see on my bank statement they haven't taken the payment

Had a similar problem on mine turned out to be the wires coming from the pickup coils were oil soaked and needed replacing

Sacha you must have used your avatar pic!"

yep strip it back now while its just surface rust then you can treat the whole thing before repainting

he must have good eyesight to see how nice your arse is from that far back

I get my bike MOT in spring each year and had an advisory a couple of times on a fork seal starting to weep but it's not! It's WD40 I spray on the fork legs when I store my bike over the winter.

Its a bit early to rule myself out but it is straight after IOM for me & Drew and I doubt I will have any ready's left will probably have to work

The tartan is Stewart hunting tartan I thought I might as well go with the family name but the only other Stewart tartan they had was the Royal Stewart and that was a bit to garish for me and as I keep telling everyone the socks were cream I didn't won't black as I thought they looked like wellies on the pics

this is me, my brother and brother in law

Got home about 7:30 last night wasn't to bad coming home, the roads were still wet up in the highlands but I managed to miss the rain until 40 mile from Carlisle that didn't last long but the wind was against all the way home, I'm absolutely knackered today will post a few pics later after work

Got here alright the road from Dunoon to Oban was the best part of the journey, fantastic run really enjoyed it, thanks for the brew Jim was great to see you again

I can't remember who suggested it but it was on here just after Clarkson got suspended. I remember thinking what a good Idea and now its happened brilliant! I think top gear needed some new blood and fresh ideas I'm sure Guy will do a fantastic Job http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/05/03/katie-hopkins-tweet-royal-baby-birth-name-charlotte-diana_n_7198220.html
