Oh and pretty much every track on metallica black album 30 seconds to mars this is war album And believe it or not crowded house recurring dream (Told ya...eclectic taste )

Then again...certain songs always brings back good memories. .. Thunder-love walked in Bon jovi-dry county War of the worlds - thunderchild Bruce Springsteen philadelphia (not for mems but great tune) Brian adams summer of 69 (for good...no great memories ) I know all soft...but hey they make ME feel good

Welcome...and well done for getting back in the saddle

Hi andrea...dont know if this works but you could try the vin number (stamped on the frame) this link might help you decode the year http://m.wikihow.com/Decode-a-VIN Hope it helps Lee

Thanks buddy, I have heard of GS before on my travels...tyres seems so simple but could mean the difference between a great ride or a teeth chattering nervous one

Its a good fun tune...eye candy always helps...esp as she promises to bite

Thanks OBrien65 Just watched the vid...and yeah mate..thats definitely more my style...reminiscent of nickleback (which I like many many tracks)...looks like im downloading another album to barrage the kids and mrs with :-)

Surely...and this is me speculating here...but if the number is visable..u have the v5 form...then a (what is now) standard vin plate in aluminium would be acceptable...as long as you have it paperworked (I.e can be traced via a garage) then it has to be legel...otherwise all those cars recovered where the vin has been ground off couldnt be further identified. ..good luck matey

P.s im an all weather rider...all season

Just to be sure of the number that is

Remember the okd school trick of laying a faintly going over ur mates notes written on a previous piece of paper on pad? Try laying a thin pieve of paper and doing the same...either that or modelling clay...push into every crevice lay flat and dry...then go over lightly with a pencil and paper...childish bust has worked in the past

Ive gone blind...cannot...see...the...posted ...picture...either that or my system wont allow anything other than yamaha pics

Hey guys, just wondering (as I know many of you have cruisers/had xvs 125s before), im gonna need new tyres for by bike fairly soon...are there any recommendations. Reason why I as is I had a suzuki marauder which was very very twitchy going round corners when wet (dont help that I weigh as much as a puppy with gas ) but made for a very nervous ride..especially round surrey where I live.

Hey easyboy...welcome to the forum...good choice (from a new dragstar owner too

Signed by me too...they will just blame it on the other emissions a bike produces tho..

Well after watching a few tracks on you tube I must concede...cradle of filth aint for me

P.s obrien...BYOB...good track but much prefer spiders...I know its nodding towards the Metallica/chillis (with the hair style...but hey each to there own...have either of you listened to breaking Benjamin? A few interesting tracks on their dear agony album...then again im more rock than metal these days

System of a down...all I have to say is good taste my friend :-) gonna have to download cradle of filth to give an educated comment Finnerz...one of my best mates is an accountant in canary wharf london...yet is a death metaler (and drum and base dj) with a harley sportster...defo split personality going on there

Hi kristian...welcome to the crew :-)

Same make and and number...I will be able to have a proper inspection next week as im off work...the last thing I want to do is split the engine so will definitely check everything over as you suggested. ..thank DT

Hehehehe...me too brother

Cheers buddy, knocking is mainly when riding but can still hear it when reving up. Checked plugs...slight oily deposits on one...slight soot on the other..but havent delved deep yet...definitely will check the manifold and tappets. Its a beautiful bike and want it back to tip top order as will be doing alot of miles after eight weeks. Will keep u posted with pics

Thanks DT, I will post in the correct place next time well I have a mech mate giving me a hand with this and other things the bike needs. Just wanted to make sure all the figures are right (inc timing). We did a compression test on it yest, was coming up between 120-145...it was only a suspicion as theres a knocking coming from the front end...and as ive always worked on cars (army landrovers and 4 tonners) this is new territory for me..as well as forums. Thanks for the advice mate

DT that would be much appreciated mate...for some reason I cant see the workshop forum...maybe its cos im on the smart phone not full site...or need to upgrade. Hopefully there is one otherwise trying ta get this bike sorted within 8 weeks maybe difficult

Good morning norcot, thanks for the advice mate. Its been many years since ive been on a forum other than the Facebook type things so etiquette I need to brush up on. As for the manual...I was just wondering if anyone knew where to get a ligit copy...cos I dont want to pay £15 for something that was basically useless (wrong size eng...or fake) Thanks for the heads up
