January will see a major service on the Harley, 60,000 miles. Pretty sure it will be time for cam chain tensioners, if so I will also replace the inner cam bearings and fit adjustable push rods, I am pretty sure I have a lifter that sticks a little when cold so I will put new lifters in as well, I get an occasional "pop" when pulling to a stop if I have only done a couple of miles. Disappears when it is hot. Will also pull the forks and service them and replace the neck bearings. I have a new clutch cable to go on as well as the current one is at the adjustment limit.

There is definitely a lurker watching this thread.

Jake Paul spent more time on his knees than Bonnie Blue. Hopefully that will be the end of this stupidity.

CF are our main rival here in France so my info is skewed via our reps, but i do know that we have a number of dealers who have abandoned one or other of the makes we distribute in order to sell CF ( CF put pressure on them to be exclusive CF dealers) who have become rapidly dissillusined with their parts and supply service and asked to come back us… i do know their absolutely all over t’intereeb and antisocial media…

That’s like the water deciding not to be wet

It wouldn't have been fair , if I did get nominated, but seriously Pedro I think Ill be turning over and new leaf this year and reduce my level of twatness for the coming year...and take this more seriously.

Wow that's a really nice one..lol.

A travesty.

We all have them in Scotland, we even have luxury versions.

There was only ever going to be a sure winner, but you weren’t nominated.

TBH last night was the first time I saw that one. Well down on pressure, couldn't get the valve cap off to check but it got me home, just. Checked this morning and it had about 20 psi in it supposed to be 50 or 60 I think. Will keep and eye on it from now on. It did the job but I am not a fan.

That would make a great ride for hauling Dirt Bikes & generally playing around out in the woods....

They are pretty rare here to, Utility companies sometimes have new ones but not many. Old ones are rare as hens teeth here. I used to visit a farm that had an old 1960's one like in the vids, very accomplished off road would literally go anywhere. I just think they are cool vehicles, like a land rover but better.

Anyone see the new predator movie yet ? Don't laugh Im a fan of the franchise, to me their was only one , the original with Arnold...all others were junk...

Fair point...what are you hearing about CF moto on your side of the pond ? They are killing the market right now over here , a specially in the utv market..those are selling like hotcakes...

Is it something you see regularly on the streets in the UK ?.....here they are extremely rare...think ive only seen one or twice that's about it...and they are worth a small fortune...

Be truthful...we're you expecting to win TOTY ...lol.

Portal axles, best off-road wheeled vehicle in the world.

I got no issue with space savers like that, but it’s a good habit to have to check they’re a little over inflated with every oil change. The ones you have to inflate to use, those are a proper pain in the ass.

Out obsessively washing her car as I am to ashamed to take it to Kwick fit shit high. I know I have a problem Dodgy space saver Fooked

Sunny here.

Been enjoying watching this guy restoring his Unimog, clever fella. Always loved the MOG's after having a ride in one years ago. Fantastic bit of kit.

My concern with he Chinese bikes is warranty, parts and service. this comes from working in the warranty department of a european importer and distributer of 8 Chinese manufacturers ( Not CF to be fair). People seem to forget that China is a communist dictatorship and the state controls all industry and entreprise ( despite what they would have you believe). I know because I have translated a number of contracts between Chinese suppliers and the compamy I work for and they all clearly lay out exactly who is the sole arbiter in any litigation that should arise... & it ain't the local chamber of commerce... They do not consider themselves beholden to eurpean laws or regulations, and only do so in order to be allowed to sell the machines over here, so you can forget any notions of obligation to supply parts for 10 years, and we currently have 4 suppliers who simply giggle at the idea of 2 years manufactureres garantie. We are oblige to sell with 2 years warranty, but that does not apply to the manufacturer. Look at what has happened to Segway powersports in Canada, the importer went bust so all garanties on machines sold there have become worthless overnight. I think it will be interesting to see what happens with these machines as they become more common and start getting older. There are, allegedly, some Chinese manufactureres who are beginning to chage mentality, CF may be one of them, Idon't know, but at the end of the day, if you have a problem and need legal recourse, you are attempting to sue the Chinese governement. Good luck with that!

I'm on holiday or 10 days and the weather is crap ao I thought I'd come on here and see what you clowns have been up to. It doesn't get any better does it?

Happily dozing in front of the fire a 10:30 PM and the Mrs rings and has a puncture picking Shadow and How High up from the Pub. FFS, anyway belt out there and gave them my car to get home and I set about changing her tyre to get her car home. The flat tire on her car is Fecked as it has a split in the side wall, I was hoping to plug it but that wasn't an option. Anyway got the Space Saver out and on but I am sure that was down on pressure, I couldn't get the metal valve cap off to add more so had to chance it for the 7 miles to get home. No tools in her car. Never went above 30 mph and got home safe. Booked her car into Quick Fit for a new set of 4 tyres on Monday afternoon, not a bill I needed before Christmas. Timing is bad but it needs new tyres for it's Mot in January so not the end of the world.
