You might have trouble here, There is a firm here in the uk that converts bikes to 12v (In fact there may be more than 1). I was reading about them recently and it said that the smallest bike they had done it on was a DT250 (If memory serves me right). It all comes down to Have you got the room on your bike for a 12V battery?. The answer is likely to be no and if that's the case you're stuck with a 6V system. I know what you mean though, I ride an old 1970's Dt175MX, That's got 6V lights and if theres no street lighting it's not very good Oh by the way

Nelson: "Order the signal, Hardy." Hardy: "Aye, aye sir." Nelson: "Hold on, that's not what I dictated to Flags. What's the meaning of this?" Hardy: "Sorry sir?" Nelson (reading aloud): "' England expects every person to do his or her duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability.' ? What gobbledygook is this?" Hardy: "Admiralty policy, I'm afraid, sir. We're an equal opportunities employer now. We had the devil's own job getting ' England ' past the censors, lest it be considered racist." Nelson: "Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco." Hardy: "Sorry sir. All naval vessels have now been designated smoke free working environments." Nelson: "In that case, break open the rum ration. Let us splice the mainbrace to steel the men before battle." Hardy: "The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. Its part of the Government's policy on binge drinking." Nelson: "Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose we'd better get on with it ........... full speed ahead." Hardy: "I think you'll find that there's a 4 knot speed limit in this stretch of water." Nelson: "Damn it man! We are on the eve of the greatest sea battle in history. We must advance with all dispatch. Report from the crow's nest please." Hardy: "That won't be possible, sir." Nelson: "What?" Hardy: "Health and Safety have closed the crow's nest, sir. No harness; and they said that rope ladders don't meet regulations. They won't let anyone up there until a proper scaffolding can be erected." Nelson: "Then get me the ship's carpenter without delay, Hardy." Hardy: "He's busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the foredeck Admiral." Nelson: "Wheelchair access? I've never heard anything so absurd." Hardy: "Health and safety again, sir. We have to provide a barrier?free environment for the differently abled." Nelson: "Differently abled? I've only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn't rise to the rank of admiral by playing the disability card." Hardy: "Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is under represented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency." Nelson: "Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons." Hardy: "A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won't let the crew up the rigging without hard hats. And they don't want anyone breathing in too much salt ? haven't you seen the adverts?" Nelson: "I've never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy." Hardy: "The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral." Nelson: "What? This is mutiny!" Hardy: "It's not that, sir. It's just that they're afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone. There's a couple of legal?aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks." Nelson: "Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?" Hardy: "Actually, sir, we're not." Nelson: "We're not?" Hardy: "No, sir. The French and the Spanish are our European partners now. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn't even be in this stretch of water. We could get hit with a claim for compensation." Nelson: "But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil." Hardy: "I wouldn't let the ship's diversity co- ordinator hear you saying that sir. You'll be up on disciplinary report." Nelson: "You must consider every man an enemy, who speaks ill of your King." Hardy: "Not any more, sir. We must be inclusive in this multicultural age. Now put on your Kevlar vest; it's the rules. It could save your life" Nelson: "Don't tell me ? health and safety. Whatever happened to rum, sodomy and the lash?" Hardy: As I explained, sir, rum is off the menu! And there's a ban on corporal punishment." Nelson: "What about sodomy?" Hardy: "I believe that is now legal, sir." Nelson: "In that case............................... kiss me, Hardy."

I dont understand Drewpy, why are Alistair Darlings Eyebrows sat on Gordon Brown?

Hi danmagicman, Expect that every car you see is going to pull out in front of you and you'll be ready if one does. Hope you have many years of fun on your bikes, after all you've missed out for long enough, your cousin is a wise guy so take heed, good luck

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

Hi Kevin, I think you will have fun fun fun, OOPS ive knocked my beer all over my keyb9apef7 b

Ha Ha, Nice one Drewpy

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)

Ha Ha Blackhat250 Oh by the way, are the jocks still the world elephant polo champs?

Yawn, Yawn, yawn....What was that...Somebody say something?

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!"

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.

Brrrrr

What temperature should the fan come in are you sure that 109C is too high, any other R1 owners out there?

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.

No! never mind the gunship, We've only got one and its busy in the persian gulf (or whatever it's called these days), I know, we'll give the Estonians a good spanking in the Eurovision song contest. That'll show em!

WHAAAT!,You mean the Estonians have stolen our lovely flag and binned their own!!!

Anyone can join, Just so long as theyre not a member of the union

Heres some pictures of my DT175MX Trail bike, One owner from new, around 37000 miles on one rebore,

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
