I have no idea who @Beemer Bummer is, he has been around on most of Pete's forums.

Metal putty on the spigot ?

You carry on then guv, pay your £100 to go and watch Spurs or whatever bunch of prima donnas takes your fancy. I'll keep £88.00 I've saved for petrol for my bikes ..........

Harley always wins.

Almost certainly mate, well that’s the only thing I can think of. It’s not like it’s a moving part that has snapped, I would have expected the hoses to split over time but not what’s happened. I’ve got a mate popping around tomorrow to have a look and see if he can come up with a fix. He’s pretty inventive so fingers crossed.

As I said … Gay … actually ..

Much, much better than going to a league/premiership game. You could have a drink on the terraces , walk all around the ground, fans mingling together and having a bit of banter and none of the toxic atmosphere you get at the bigger clubs PS. £12.00 to get in as well (senior price)

@Skippy so what do reckon caused that ? has a previous owner been using some cheapo coolant and that caused it to rot ?

Yes it was a good run, kept dragging Gary along but i just couldn't get him to break any speed limits LOL oh and i lied i was out 10 hours not 7.

4 hour delay for flight coming home for fuck sake

Gay

And Dan's brother bike had this ridiculous low windshield on his roadglide...could barely do 120kph...the wind blast was just to much...not at all suitable for a ride like this...highway speed limit is 110 kph..so everyone is driving 130 ish...grandma Jones was even passing us with her prius...

Would you stop..lol...not going to win any awards for this...all in all think we covered just over or close to 4 thousand km...I won't be going there again for sure...even thoe we were just 3 rider...I'd rather travel alone...I was riding tail end...Dan really has a nasty habit operating his GPS....he would let go of the throttle when messing with it...I had to tell him to put his cruse on wyll he was playing with it...he would reduce speed without his brake lights coming on ...on a multi lane highway In Toronto ...it's not advisebale to do so...extremely dangerous for the fellow in the rear...

I'm catching up on some news...any idea who wone the Bagger race this weekend and who's leading the championship right now. ?...was on holiday didn’t get a chance to watch it yet...

I'm sending her a link to this.

Yeah she’s always been a tight fit

Jap shite.

Good new for the misses but that looks a bugga to get your hand in.

My day today went a lot better than yesterday! Went to the hospital with the missus to have a consultation with the arrhythmia specialist. Proper swanky hospital, first class service and definitely worth the monthly fee. The cardiologist has said she needs a small operation to stop excess electrical signals being generated and sent to the heart muscles which is what causes the arrhythmia. The way he explained it is that most people have one circuit that sends signals to the heart muscles to beat according to whatever your doing (resting, exercise etc) but some people (the awkward ones ) have an additional circuit that chips in randomly and causes the heart to go mental……hers hit 212 bpm last time it happened. Anyway, he reckons the operation is pretty straightforward and should be done fairly soon, possibly in the next couple of weeks (can you imagine that on the NHS?) They basically seal the end of the extra circuit to prevent it sending electrical signals. It’s a case of dropping her off one morning and they look after her all day with the op usually in early evening. She can go home the next morning. Thank fuck we can get it sorted because it’s really scared her and me too. However yesterday was a complete twat of a day……… had a lovely ride out in the morning, all went well until I got home………… Pulled up outside the house and noticed coolant pissing out at the bottom of the bike. Traced it to where one of the hoses fits onto the rear of the cylinder head. I’ve noticed that where the hose clamps to the engine there’s no stud and that’s because it’s corroded and snapped off. It’s probably stuck inside the hose but until I can lift the tank and take a better look I won’t know for sure. If that’s the case I’m not sure if it can be welded back on or whether I need a new head cylinder! If that’s the case then I think I’ll have to sell it for spares and repairs because the cylinder heads seem to be quite pricey and you never know what you’re going to get second hand. So now I’ve no working bike and the mountain bike is sitting in the corner of the garage looking smug. Double fucking bollocks.

Nice one @Marcel le Moose Fondler

It stands very well, the 400cc is the best size, the 650cc Burgman is a heavy old lump, and earlier 650 were a bugger to paddle about.
