At least you'll know it's not the brakeline ! For the full benefit clean and lube the brake and bang in a new seal/piston set .

" Ahem ! They all do that sir ".

Thieving scum ,! I'm glad they got reefed . I've had a few bikes nicked over the years , you don't usually get them back (although had a couple of "eventful" recoveries from scrotes back gardens etc ) You do need to lock the bike to something solid . Abus used to do a massive plastic coated steel rope with a loop at one end and a big steel shackle with a hole to fit the big Abus Granit lock through at the other . I had one but I feckin' lost it ! DUH !

Leaky fuel petcock can cause the crankcase to fill with neat fuel .

Saw a clean(ish) Honda CD175 over here going for 2 Grand !!!??? Bro' got a mint VFR800i for less !

Have you thought about fitting a "POWERBAND" , I hear they are all the rage with you young Fancy Dans ! http://www.planetash.net/gos/powerbands.html

Get a manual and learn how to do the servicing yourself man . It's much more satisfying , and £200 is a lot of money ! You could've done your bike Saturday morn and been out on the lash Saturday night with 200 bucks in your pocket and that warm glow of satisfaction after a job well done .

Well done , congrats !! Nothing will test your reactions better than a wasp in close proximity to your helmet !

Haha! Dead right , I've always been a muff man myself !!

Most spoked wheels can only use tubed tyres , there are a few exceptions e.g BMW's later GS . Otherwise the air leaks out around the spokeheads (obviously ). Tubeless tyres can be used with a tube on a spoked rim but the tyre pressure will need to be reduced slightly .

Bro picked me up a brand new set of Oxford Muffs . Toasty . Nice one Bro !

Yep , Congratulations to young Danny , well done .

Thermal longjohns under the leathers , good waterproofs over the lot . I know handlebar muffs look a bit dodgy but if your hands and feet are warm you can ride through the worst of weather .

Sorry Jimmy , I hear they are going to build a bike with a pillion for team Marquez/Lorenzo next year . I watched the race live on the Moto GP website but it sounded like the commentators were watching a different race !

Eh....WHY ???

Well it sure looked to me as if Marquez was riding shotgun for Lorenzo today , not one attempt to overtake until Pedroza went past but he sure got his finger out until he regained second place . I always thought team mates would be on the same brand of bike ! Hard luck for Vale but I'm sure he'll repay what's due next year !! Is anybody still doubting that Rossi was the victim at Sepang ?

Ooh ! Is it Christmas already ? I love shiny new bits . My old 175 MX was 1 tooth up in front and would still lift the front in 3rd .

The headlight should only come on when the engine is running .

I was scared of robots . But that was before I knew they needed stabilisers , F you robowankers !!

I've seen 'em Slice . Some of the scooter clubs come down this way on weekends in the Summer . Saw one with a 350 YPVS engine once .

Haha , I thought it'd been parked outside a building being painted . Nice bike chalkey .

Would a scooter have the power to pull a sidecar with passenger and luggage ?

Place a hand grenade with a piece of string tied to the pin in the cylinder barrel . Replace the cylinder head routing the string through the spark plug hole . When you've the head torqued down , pull on the string and RUN!! . Should do the trick .

It will get easier , after learning the valuable lesson that most blokes are bell ends !
