Is the right hand brake caliper not working?

Nobs

Insurance has dropped a whole £5 but they have altered the cover and tried to add as much again in extras, it looks like they have dropped trailer cover as well so it’s time to shop around.

They weren't Indians, they were Triumphs.

It lives !! Rode it down to the village and back, only about a mile but I live at the top of a long steep hill and didnt want to have to push the thing too far if it did crap out. Smokes like a bitch, but I think it's from being on the side stand for a while - illogically that puts the crank case above the head, so oil seeps to the top of the engine. Ive ordered a right hand side stand for it. Its a heavy bike and the original side stand allows the bike to lean over at a really steep angle - make me nervous seeing it like that so hopefully the new right hand stand will give it a more upright position ... otherwise I will have to adapt it so it does. Still need to fiddle with the rev counter, it's a bit jumpy so will experiment with where the input comes from. Also need to get the gas gauge to work.

Oh and @boboneleg !! You might want to tell your therapist, if this all started when you started counting sheeps before sleep...

It's not looking good...how long have you had these urges ? You know animals and stuff ?

Was having a laugh on a memory....lol...when Pete put up this challenge on who had the bigger biceps...a flex off contest between him and I....lol Pete posted pics of him flexing sitting on the crapper...lol Think I've just realized why he was in the bathroom....lol. He was hiding from his wife...lol. Not saying I knew Pete personally only online...but he was a hell of a joker...lol. Those were the days...lol.

He told me 4 Pakistani and 3 Indians...

He's probably had his knob in there, not many moose about at the moment.

How many victims people did you covert to your church .....

I am a man of many bags

Do you think Harley will start selling pizzas at Harley dealership now ?

A red robin you idiot...lol.

Rear tire fitted... got to balance it now...and slap everything back together...should be running by noon..got the pulley bearing on order..SKF..the good stuff...

It must have been a Harley bird, if it had been Indian it’s head would have snapped off when it hit the window.

Think it did...it hoble to a section of taller grass...was gone I got back from the bearing shop...no sign of feathers on the ground...

Looks like it will recover.

Maybe they will shave off on the tarmac.

Looking at the bike this morning without the sadle bags..lol ...if that fender was smooth without the bag mounts...I think it would look awesome @Buckster...with those semi-truck size muflers on the side...what do you think ? A little to hillbillyish ?

A bird just smacked itself in one of my windows poor thing...flipped it back on its legs...not sure if it's gonna be able to fly off...just keeping and eye on it..my crows are trying to get at it...keeping them away at the moment..

Lol...would you stop , for the belt to come off , the pulley bearing would have to completely disintegrate, wasn't any movement between the inner spacer before I repack it with grease..And beleive me I would be hearing something abnormal if it starts to fail along the road...but I will be going to the bearing shop this morning and have one ordered and ill be buying a puller if I have to...takes five minutes to check, imagine Ill be doing a few thousand km before leaving on the road trip and I'll have a look at it before leaving....im not worried...

That should lock the back wheel nicely when the belt splits and jams itself between the swing arm and the pulley. I'm sure that won't happen if course.

At cruising speed there isn't much force on the pulley....it's not like a wheel bearing holding up 1300 pounds...and when I go around corners at 2.76 G you're talking about the weight of and entire bush elephant bearing down on the bearing...
