Yeah, that’s what he has in mind.

That' a pity, I have always liked the look of them. Interesting small and light bit of kit. Spendy though but they look very well made in the flesh.

Fuck me he has set his sights low then I'm sure he could pay someone much younger and attractive to do him.

Will have a look for a stethoscope, good plan. I think it's coming from inside the engine casing but will have a look at the front sprocket nonetheless.

The problem is he wants to do you.

Broken tooth on front sprocket bouncing about? Stethoscope would help you, I bought one years ago from Machine Mart, saves me a lot of time. It is often hard to pinpoint rattles on a bike as the engine noise masks where the rattles are coming from.

There really is a cabal of you lot obsessed with Bum Chummery on here. No judgement, you do you

Since February 5th so coming on for 5 months.

Ok then brains trust can you help me identify this rattle. I serviced the bike last week and all went as it should. Sounded as sweet as it always does. Any way Shadow came home last night with a rattle after around 300 miles. I in paranoia stripped the valve cover and checked them, they are still spot on but I reset them just the same to be sure. I was worried one may have back off. Anyway after a couple of minutes when the bike comes off fast idle the rattle starts again. As far as I can tell the cam chain is under tension. The inside of the head is spotlessly clean as is the oil. I was thinking clutch but pulled the lever in makes no difference Anyway have a listen and see if any of you can make out what it is. Shadow denies any abuse and I want to believe her but

Yes they’re mega popular down here and elsewhere in Europe. Great value for money and they’ve been around for a few years yet with no major faults as far as I’m aware of. I love fast, powerful bikes but if truth be told I always end up feeling like a passenger on them and rather inadequate as I just cannot get anywhere near their full potential. With a smaller capacity bike you feel like your riding them……….another reason why I kept the FZ6N, it’s got more than enough power to go ballistic when you feel like it but it takes a bit of effort. Mind you, I’d still have a Busa……..

How long has it taken to lose three stone?

Bumming faster and not having breakfast afterwards ?

Ok, in a purely platonic way, I will answer your question. I am moving more and eating less, just like the Dr advised me to do.

Each time they got smaller, I doubt we will be seeing any phoenix this time.

So you are doing the injections, an expensive solution.

I am coming around to the idea that it’s more fun riding something more sensible fast than something with monster power, and safer. I have seen lots a reviews praising the TRK. Selling hand over fist in Italy, Spain and France. Don’t know how it will fair in the salt but you don’t see many for sale 2nd hand here. You can get a new 502 here pre reg for £4500. Glad yours is serving you well.

I know all this homosexual talk is your thing but it is quite obsessive for a bike forum. Surely you could find a more receptive place focused on that sort of thing.

So far it’s been brilliant Saul, it’s a big old lump at standstill but once on the move it handles beautifully. Sure footed, smooth and great looking. A bit more oompf would be nice but not essential…….just carry a bit of corner speed and it makes good progress.

Cheers Bob, it was an absolute blast. The lads are up near Gijon tonight and head to the Santander ferry in the morning.

Only 3,850 KLMs so far.

Maybe it was all the Willy tasting that made you fat. Are you on a diet or are you doing those injections?

How the fuck would I know, shall I ask Shadow to get his number for you ?

Oh Dear, one of those days is it.

who's the nob on the scooter ?

So you admit to tasting Willy in the past then?
