  1. It looks like she's enjoying herself.
  2. Thanks for that, I have been on a voyage of discovery on this one, here is one of the pencil coils, Denso # 129700 4571, to remove them safely there is a hole somewhere around where the head gasket is, if the coil is stuck spray a penetrating product in the hole, leave it for a while then hit it with compressed air and it will pop out like a brake piston, woohoo.
  3. 3.1 for my ancient 950 twin.
  4. Thank you, that's just the info I was seeking, however is that backwards or upwards, am I removing the cap or just the wiring ?

    Pedro's food

    My meager offering to the thread, chicken breast in a garlic, soy, apple cider vinegar, chicken stock and honey sauce with obvious chips and roasted crispy brussel sprouts tossed in a caramelised balsamic vinegar. It hit the spot.
  6. Calipers are done, forgot to take photos but its a pair of calipers, the pistons cleaned up nicely and slid in like a Welsh shepherd getting into a well oiled gumboot. Next episode will be when the VHT cast aluminium paint arrives and once painted I can fit the pads and bolt them onto the bike, then a quick bleed and the major hurdle is out of the way. Started to remove the radiator, the fins are a bit flattened in one area so I thought I'd lay it flat and smooth them out with a skewer but I'm not so keen to remove bits if I can avoid it. I have unbolted it to move it forward to get at the front sparking plug so I might do the plugs first, they have a connector on them I've never seen before and I wonder what is the best way to take it off. Don't want to damage it as it would probably take a year to get a replacement. So here you go, calipers, one ready for paint, spark plug cap and damage to the radiator, as it doesn't leak I thought of giving it a quick spray.
  7. Last photo before he tried to get away.

    Test Ride

    That's not a Gold Star, this is a Gold Star.
  9. Organise a mystery bus tour with free alcohol and dump them in Portugal.
  10. We only have school buses, no public transport at all, it keeps out the riff raff, and no fast food either, I was at the local government office yesterday and there was a new girl there, she is a Polynesian Princess, about 300lbs and expanding, she told me that it was her first day and that she went to get a delivery of McDonalds and found that the nearest Maccas was 30 k's away, she was a little distraught about that but being a trooper she told me that she would just walk (waddle) down to the bakery, small town life, ain't it grand.
  11. They called Ned Kelly a highwayman but he had nothing on these carnts, I heard from a Federal cop that a friend of mine knew that when they go into police training the low IQ ones go into traffic and I believe it. Another thing here is that if you get a speeding ticket they can suspend your bus permit.
  12. I was getting around 7000 k's per rear tyre and they were worn at the edge so there's that, where I am now there aren't any corners but lots of highway robbers so like a dignified elder I just pfaff about.
  13. That was a set of ten, four in each front caliper and two in the rear, smaller market means higher prices I guess but I'm sticking with the ones that Brembo used.
  14. I found stainless pistons on eBay here, a set would cost me £365 or 10% of the sales value of the bike so I think that I'll pass.
  15. That's cruising at around the speed limit, around here speeding is treated like murder with ridiculous penalties and at my age I prefer to take it easy, you may find the same if you ever grow up.
  16. The Wooly Bear caterpillar, one of these and a dab of contact cement and you're the toast of the town, girls love them.
  17. The new chum in the club, just remember not to sit in a members seat or read the papers before them.
