rust romoval
Its usually quite difficult to get them re chromed because I think they have to get all the old chrome off first, but check to confirm this. Other options are Rebuild with new rims and spokes (Expensive) Buy secondhand wheels, Try Ebay for a while, but If you find some be sure to get an accurate description of condition, cause they're going to cost a lot to send unless you can collect Get yourself a classic mechanics magazine, theres all kinds of services in them Very cheap option If your wheels are really that bad, I personally have used Jenolite rust remover in the past Its an acid based product, looks like snot (make sure its not a rust converter), and then revert to the WD40 to keep new rust at bay, It all depends on how good a finish you want and how deep your wallet Is

Front forks and other queries
Hi Jon 3rd is a shiny problem! I'm an all weather biker, I'll ride come rain or shine, though I do like a shiny bike. So after a good day on the autosol it really makes me sad to see that 1 day in the rain even if you do wash her after leaves all the polished stuff you did dull and dirty. Is there anything for this? WD40 on a cotton cloth is what I use

Hi mate, Personally I think that once your spokes are rusty theres nowt you can do, dont try rubbing them with anything abrasive they will just get worse in future. I would just wipe them down with WD40 regularly to stop the problem getting worse. If they are spoiling the look of the bike why not have them re-built with stainless spokes, funds permitting of course Wd40 is an excellent product to wipe down your chromed and plated parts of your bike, but keep it away from brake disk (Stating the obvious)

A Funny Tale
The Inland Revenue decides to audit Paddy, and summons him to an appointment with the most thorough auditor in the office. The auditor is not surprised when Paddy shows up with his solicitor. The auditor says, "Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the Inland Revenue finds that believable." "I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it," says Paddy. "How about a demonstration?" The auditor thinks for a moment and says, "Okay. You're on!" Paddy says, "I'll bet you a thousand pound that I can bite my own eye." The auditor thinks a moment and says, "No way! It's a bet." Paddy removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor's jaw drops. Paddy says, "Now, I'll bet you two thousand pound that I can bite my other eye." The auditor can tell Paddy isn't blind, so he takes the bet. Paddy removes his dentures and bites his good eye. The stunned auditor now realises he has bet and lost three thousand quid, with Paddy's solicitor as a witness. He starts to get nervous. "Would you like to go double or nothing?" Paddy asks. "I'll bet you six thousand pound that I can stand on one side of your desk and pee into that rubbish bin on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between." The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way Paddy can manage that stunt, so he agrees again. Paddy stands beside the desk and unzips his trousers, but although he strains like hell, he can't make the stream reach the bin on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk. The auditor leaps with joy, realising that he has just turned a major loss into a big win. But Paddy's solicitor moans and puts his head in his hands. "Are you okay?" the auditor asks. "Not really," says the solicitor. "This morning, when Paddy told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me £10,000 that he could come in here and piss all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it!"

Help! Pure Frustration!
Turn the petrol tap off, take the spark plug out, spin the motor over with the plug out, then if you can leave it overnight before re-fitting the plug and trying again. Oh and while the plug is out, fit the HT cap and ground the plug using a jump lead to the engine, then check for a healthy spark.

Wheres England?
Hi Drewpy, and I thought the George cross was a medal, anyway, point is when when new members join and are asked to pick a country flag, England isnt there, and after all, we do have a flag....dont we.

Hey, wheres England?

Wheres England?
And another thing, Why are so many of you English flying the union flag, are you not proud to be English? The Scots and the Welsh Fly their own flags and rightly so, The flag of St George, you'll find it under ESTONIA' My God, Next thing Scotland, Wales and Union flag will all disappear and be replaced by the bloody Euro banner thingy
