Its carb'd

Bad luck!

It's doable (because I've done it). Just be prepared to have those carbs in and out more often than @XTreme's teeth.

Needs a bit less years on his body and a lot more guts.

Fuk dat. You just need more powaz.

Plus cheating. Cheating is good.

How easy/hard is it to fit a turbo to a bike? Was thinking maybe one for the 636

Is yours injection or carb?

It's pretty simple fabrication work and making space apart from the fuelling - carbs are a twat to set up as you have to effectively boost reference them. With FI you just bung bigger injectors in and map them on a dyno.

Well I did have this at the beginning of June.......took a couple of months to go.

Doctor thought it was a fungal infection (Jock Itch) which is the same thing as Athlete's foot but all over the body.

Warning (particularly @Grasshopper's Ride)......this is a bit graphic!

My son has the Covid rash. I though he had a reaction to the washing powder or something but it looks just like that but not quite as bad.

He has it from his navel and down his legs.

I'm also unsure if the kidney infection has done me lasting damage as my pee is always dark now and smells of bacon constantly..... 

May be too much information but I have been wondering about it as it's just been that way since my kidney infection 

You need to drink more water son!

You had it as well Ian?

Yeah, one of the kids picked it up from nursery before Christmas and spread it to the rest of us.

It gave me chronic achy balls for a few days - it's worth avoiding just for that!

I too went from having covid and within days as @xtreme and @swagman can testify to a kidney infection so I know first hand that it's a naughty virus as does @Swagman and no I'm not saying anything about cancer as it's not the topic.

What I'm talking about is the scaremongering and those who write the death certificate putting covid19 as cause of death when actually it was a heart attack that killed said person just because the person who died tested positive for the virus, doing this would manipulate the the death statistics and give a false impression of the real death toll of people due to covid 

You hit the nail on the head when you said about the kidney infection. It's not just the primary viral infection that does damage, it's the secondary stuff too - it could be that if you were less fit or had an underlying kidney problem that you'd be on the slab.

I don't know about you but my heart was pounding for a couple of days - that's the kind of shit that can kill someone with a weak heart.

The extra workload the virus puts on your body is massive.

You're not old though are you?

Nope, I'm bristling with vim, vigour and covid.

yeah im a weird size also 32 waist and a 23" inside leg, no wonder XT calls me stumpy 

 

23"?! Funking hell, I'm 34" - that's almost an entire nob length difference.

I used to get something similar when I did my exploring stuff. 

Except for a few times I always went alone and got people banging on about how dangerous it was lurking about in abandoned buildings, mines, bunkers and hanging off sheer cliffs.

Weird that those who knew me in real life didn't give a shit- probably because they were looking forward to the wake.

From a new bod perspective it's clear that some of you have known each other for quite some time. That's no bad thing as it creates an atmosphere where conversations flow easily. I think however that it could be intimidating for some who haven't experienced a robust, bantery environment.

My only criticism is the forum software - I'm really not getting on with it which puts me off.

 Mr Fro ...you flounced as well squire

Nah, that would take more effort than I'm willing to expend.

Faaaackin' 'ell, who let this twat in?

@XTreme, you promised me high brow sophisticated entertainment, not the same old bell ends from "that place".

I've half a mind to gether up my petticoats and high tail it out of here.

Chaps!

Well I've got full on leathers and crotchless.

Chaps are for perverts who ride Chinese bikes and Harleys.

@Mr Fro......Clive wants to see your ass for some reason. 

Is that in leathers or out?

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

Oh, @Buckster, I'm nowhere near as much of a twat as XT.

Yeah, alright mate.

It's nice to see something new pop up.

For those who don't know me, I get out only occasionally these days (wife, children etc). I mainly have sports bikes but I did go over some gravel in the road back in 2017 so I guess that counts as adventuring.

For fun I enjoy fiddling with bikes, mainly making them faster so polishing, adding stickers, as many accessories as possible and the occasional turbo.
