  1. and the injectors, and the chocolate rockers and the dodgy fuel pump and the fuel filler that lets shit and muck drop into the tank when you re-fuel. Great bike but the list of faults goes on...................
  2. Cheers Tym, one of my favourite bands . Thanks for putting up the album version
  3. The only thing I see in my future is a new (or newer ) DR650, I certainly won't be going for anything bigger. If Honda hadn't put that shit engine in the CRF450L then that might have been the holy grail
  4. In years to come people will find it incredulous that the British public voted for that buffoon to be prime minister
  5. I had been into Fowler's in Bristol get some parts, I came back out to my KTM 950 and there were loads of people in the car park. I rode off and dropped it straightaway as I forgot to take the lock off the front wheel . There was much sniggering and plenty of this ................
  6. My first KTM 950 had sandcast cases. You needed to check the water pump after about 20,000 miles as the fine grains of sand would kill the bearing on the impeller shaft .
  7. I've watched quite a few of Mark Felton's videos, that guy knows his onions
  8. Excellent Fred, love those lanes around there
  9. Can you imagine the fight and scramble to get in there for those 'in the know' if it had all kicked off
  10. I wouldn't say the were 'gone' . Having looked at them the bearings look ok and the bottom race is fine but the top race does have a mark on it. I will look at it closer (my eyes are shite) and then decide what to do . I could just re-grease them and polish the mark out on the top race and re-fit them. These bearings take a lot of punishment on a dirt bike and you've seen the sort of shit we ride in. On a road bike you'd expect them to do 30 -40,000 miles before replacement.
  11. Well that’s me officially pissed off. The steering head bearing kit I bought is wrong
  12. But the Samsung tabs have been failing, the unit on Greg Villalobos PR7 lasted two months before it shit itself
  13. In the garage, made a start on doing the steering head bearings on the Rally
  14. Well you know what they say about the rain in Spain ?
  15. boboneleg

    all fogged up

    Nice one Chris, I just had a look at that reservoir on google earth. Tis a big bugger when it's full, what the hell happens to the fish when they drain it
  16. For some reason that reminds me of this, one of my favourites back in the day............
  17. Ride by wire throttle, rider modes, fecking TV screen stuck in front of you and it weighs 15 pounds more than it's KTM sister. Oh ! and it's not a LC8 engine , the LC8 twin was a V-twin configuration . On the plus side it looks better than the KTM 890.
  18. True, but he’s a big dude. I don’t think he’ll pass as a dago midget
  19. Having met @MooN I can assure you that he looks nothing like a midget dago bummer
  20. I have a few tales about arched bridges. When I worked for Lex Wilkinson/Federal Express we had one just like that down the road from the depot except it was 12' 9'' as I remember. So to pass under it you had to use the middle of the road, just at the far end of it (it was a double bridge) was a side-turning, so people used to come out of the side turning and drive straight under the bridge (in a hurry) while you were in the middle of the road. The number of 'incidents' (we'd call it road rage now) it caused was unreal as the arseholes in their cars couldn't work out while you were in the middle of the road and used to sit there demanding that you move over We also had more that one agency driver who clouted the bridge There are traffic lights on the junction now , probably where it's been hit so much.
