lol yeah we did and we built snow-bikers, but there arent any piccies of that for some reason!

Well if you had said that in your initail post i wouldn't have suggested it would i....and since i have no interest whatsoever in pocket rockets i definately wouldn't have known - only tryin to be helpful you know.

You could try something like this: HERE Would save you a fortune on changing the clocks

Went to the East LEeds Lions rally this weekend - and this is what we woke up to on Saturday morning - and they say us Brits aint die hard bikers....... This is my bike...... And my mates bikes...... Even though the weather was absolute SHITE, we had a bluddy fabulous time

lol you're very welcome - and thats a very lovely looking bike you got there too!

Im proud to be English (although my family are originally from somewhere else!), but i am also proud to be a member of the United Kingdom, which embraces all the countries which are part of it. I see no need to segregate myself from the scots or the welsh or anyone else in the UK for that matter - therefore i fly the Union Jack with pride

No, like i said, its a hobby of his, he dont make a living out of it and he dont have the time to base coat and laquer in between doing the art and his regular job. His work far bypasses some of the crap i've seen on some bikes at shows and rallies, and to be perfectly honest i think he should be doin it full time. Post some of your work up Peabody, i'd really like to see it

Drooling quadruped.. - is this one of your slang terms then? Cos its really rather pants

We really need pictures before we can give you a straight answer you know........

Nahhh - the bikes low down and holds pretty well in the bad weather Pitbull is arriving at mine about 10, hopefully we be setting off here about 11 ish, so be just after lunch ish i think - shall text Mr Purps when we setting off

I rode the Moors last year on the way back from the Yorkshire Rock and Bike show at Squires. Fully loaded bike, Pitbull was follwing on her lil 400 - it was LASHING it down, blowing a gale like you wouldnt beleive and absolutely ruddy freezing - AND we both had hangovers the size of Belgium too Have to say though - the bike hardly wobbled, and she battled through the crap weather to get me home in one piece Now if i hada been on my CBR600 - i reckopn i would have been camped on them moors for at least a week

The get a flippin dictionary me ol mucker And very welcome you are indeed - i was being polite when i said "guests" - i meant LURKERS

Im riding over to Leeds tomorrow for the East Leeds Lions rally and i hope this wind and rain dies down!

Anyone going to this over the Easter weekend? I hope the damned weather is gonna buck up! Sarah - we shall be calling en route to drop off the drivers backrest for your XVS and the heated grips honey but shall call you when we are setting off

What a GREAT choice you have made and you will have hours of pleasure on it!.......(now why does that sound soooo wrong ) Seriously - welcome to the cruiser riders clan, you will love it without a shadow of a doubt, its a completely different experience and im sure you wont regret it - i never have

Welcome to the forum. Lovely bike you got there

Very nice indeedy! Welcome to the forum

Now don't be going out there and buying one piece leathers with tassles on and giving us cruiser riders a bad name

Oh yes indeedy - Now get this. I am in a local bike shop a few weeks back perusing the clothing and helmets when in walks Mr colour coded 1 piece. He's looking at gloves and picks up some that match his leathers. He tries them on He walks to the mirror And proceeds to turn his hands over so he can see the gloves in the mirror from all angles.... then...... starts twisiting an invisible throttle - in the mirror......... I (and 2 sales assistants) wer almost on the floor laughing at this plank. I mean - ok so some folk like everything to match - whatever floats your boat - but to pretend to rev your bike in a mirror in a crowded shop to see if the gloves you just tried on look good gets twat of the year award IMHO

Thanks for that Keith. Ive mananged to get hold of a second hand one relatively chjeap but im not sure whhether its complete. If its no good then i'll give you a shout if you dont mind and we can sort something out. If you cant get one brought in ill pay for postage. Ill let you know soon as, and thanks again. Kniller - you wont be sorry honey - they are lovely bikes IMHO

lol yes thats mine, and thankyou A mate of mine did the artwork for me, i just told him what i was after and he came up with that - and i love it - all for the princely sum of £150. So if anyone is interested in having some paint done rather cheap as he only does it as a hobby let me know and i shall pass on his number - he doesnt do base coat or laquering so you would have to sort that yourself.

I have a 2003 model and mine dont like starting at all. Ive adjusted the choke so it ticks over that little bit quicker, but she's still awkward once she's cooled down again. I think it is just one of those things, but 15 minutes does sound a loooong time to warm up - mine takes about 5 minutes or so - sometimes longer if its REALLY cold. Take it out for a really good, long blatt, blow off some of them cobwebs and see how she behaves afterwards.
