All Activity

Gotta finish cutting up the dead willow tree in my back yard today....then Mrs. Hook & I will head to the dump in the morning to unload it (for Free)...after that we'll head up to Kingsbury Ln. for a dirt-road ride to see if the wildflowers are blooming....it's quite lovely when they do.

I called help. It was heartbreaking, his wife came back out of the supermarket minutes before the paramedics arrived.

What have you guys got planned for the weekend? Is it getting nice where you are? I'm near Porto in Portugal. Tomorrow, I hope I wake up not too late, get on the bike and ride to Faro to meet a friend for dinner. It'll be 1 hour something on the motorway then catch the smaller roads to get there, a little less than 600km. Then enjoy Faro on Sunday and come back North to meet Sofia near Lisbon on Monday. They're saying it's going to get warm, I hope it doesn't get too warm.

Going to pull the cams off the cam plate today and check the journals, if the journals are worn then I will upgrade everything.

That front sprocket is goosed.

Just saw an old dude drop dead in front of me. Was walking back to my car which was parked on the underground of a shopping mall, an old gentleman sat down on a sofa and a second later dropped his cane and fell asleep forever. Quite an intense friday morning.

Very underrated artist, he did a Piano room spot on Radio 2 last year (I Think)

Also looks like the chain has started to grind into the boss of the sprocket

Yeah, it looks like a couple of those teeth are looking kinda pointy....not much crown left on them. Like you said, at least it's not the gearbox....chain & sprockets are a piece of cake.

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.
