So a female employee got an expensive pen as a birthday gift from her boss. She sent him a 'Thank you note' by email: Boss’s wife read the email and filed for divorce. The email said: Your penis wonderful and I enjoyed using it last night. It has extra ordinary smooth flow and a firm stroke. I loved its perfect size and grip. Felt like I was in heaven when using it.Thanks a lot.! Moral: A "space" is an essential part of English grammar!

I do, haven’t ridden it in ages. It’s got a clogged carb as well, which I will have to sort before it moves. Does look nice as a garage decorative piece, though …

I realise this is all alien to you and your Beemer Pedro, have you still got the XR?

Just for you Busa ... https://www.facebook.com/reel/902932269230730

Anyone remember Roachford

I feel your pain. Pulled the dominator from the shed, switched on the fuel tap only to have petrol pissing out out of the carb overflow again. I'd bet if Freds watching he'd have a little titter knowing the carb removal ball ache. It did start though.

Yes screwdriver to ear on the bearing area. see here

Right so got some time to play. Rear wheel moved forward to get the chain off the front sprocket, 30mm socket on the drill. No noises picked up using the screwdriver to ear method. Think this next pic gives a better clue to the prob. Glad I couldn't hear anything from the transmission as it would have been a right ball ache to sort. Rear sprocket not so bad but think another set is in order. I've been using a tin of muck off all weather chain lube, no probs with Mandis or the dominator but this is the second set on this done at 13000 miles.

Free ones are faster!

It would be Woods 222 or Andrew’s 48H

I like the idea of some mild cams but I have been offered some low mileage standard cams for free.

Do Kent Cams do an upgrade for your bike ?

Do you want a little more aggressive camshaft now? Or going to replace with stock?

Unfortunately the sticking lifter has buggered the cam lobe.

Well after a few weeks and several distractions, that I had to deal with, I got back up the shed to the Sprint today. I put it away in disgrace after having to cancel it's MoT as it blew a fork seal and cut out twice on the last run, only to restart once I switched the fuel tap to prime. Just to top it off I fitted a new rear brake switch that worked once only. Checked all the fuses and wiring so must have been the new switch I thought. I ordered a new fuel tap and two more brake switches, I already had fork seals and oil. Anyway out of sight and mind for a few weeks was enough for me to get over it, so went up the shed today to get on with it. I started it up and it fired right away which pleased me, battery was fine so no parasitic drain Checked the rear brake switch, the light worked perfectly so the fairies must have fixed that. I can't think why but it's fine now. I also switched the fuel tap to run and the bike died after a couple of minutes ticking over, switched to prime let the float bowls fill, started straight away, switched to reserve and it died after a few seconds so the fairies haven't fixed that. Hopefully got a clear day tomorrow to work on it and book the MoT for next week.

A man walks into a bar on the top floor of a skyscraper and orders a cold beer. As he’s sipping it, he suddenly watches the guy next to him stroll over to the window… and jump right out! “Good grief! Did you see that!? That man just jumped out the window!” The bartender doesn’t even blink. Shaken, the man takes another sip. A minute later, the same guy walks back in, sits down, orders another drink, finishes it, and jumps out the window again. The man shouts, “Are you kidding me!? He did it again!” Still, the bartender says nothing. The guy comes back into the bar and orders another drink. Finally, the man asks, “How on earth are you surviving those jumps?” The guy grins and says, “Oh, it’s this special drink. If you finish it fast enough, you can float.” Excited, the man orders the same “floatie” drink, chugs it, runs to the window, jumps out… and SPLAT—straight onto the sidewalk. The bartender sighs and says: “Superman… you’re a real jerk when you’ve been drinking

Will you hear anything over the sound of the drill?

Pretty soggy & windy here this morning....forecast says more of the same later. Think I'll go twirl some spanners on the GMC today...swap out the TPS to see if that cures its running issues.

Been clouded over all day here until an hour ago, lovely sunshine. Forecast for a watery afternoon tomorrow. Had a quick look at the tracer this afternoon. I have a transmission noise which I'm hoping is just the chain and sprockets. There's no play in the final drive so I'm feeling a little happier. After I put the bike away I had a better idea, I'll get the chain off and spin the output shaft with a drill. A test for later .

It's just lovely here, finally. I've been in the car visiting clients and on the phone, but I've got plans for the weekend.

Its abit windy and very overcast at Liverpool at the moment, but got a nice drive south back to the yard once im loaded
