    Fair enough, that makes more sense just. Also I must admit that I neglected reading the previous 10 pages of pissing up the wall
  2. I have a Quad Lock similar to Bucksters. Bloody good bit of kit but even so I spent the £100 for a Aooci CarPlay, dash cam kit so I can keep my phone in my pocket safe.

    Thought I better check the stats rather than be a wrong smart arse. Indian Challenger 385kg Marcy 100kg BHP 122 That works out at 251BHP per tonne. That’s still not much really. Fucking hell my Hornet with me on it is 340 BHP per tonne. Not that I am in this Billy Big Balls shit but it does demonstrate what utter rubbish Marcy is talking

    I got an email press release today, I am on their spam list as I had a test ride on a Goldstar last year.

    You maths is way off Rich, Marcy’s Indian is around 380 kilos and he must be 100kg at least. That’s around 205 BHP per tonne, not in the same field as a Busa.

    Anyone seen the new adds for BSA that came out today. 350 Bantam and 650 Scrambler £3500 and £6000. Look ok, not something I would go for but interesting nonetheless. If the Bantam is any good it undercuts everything else in the sector. Definitely a pair of old guy bikes but I reckon they will sell.

    I know someone who did a very similar thing with a Blackbird. Held the throttle on for a couple of seconds longer than was wise and ended up in the hedge. Twat was alright bike not so much
  10. True, hope you are feeling guilty
  11. Looks like you are in for a treat @Six30
  12. Those cyclists were certainly getting a shift on

    What happened

    Oh, just dead to us then
  14. To that weird old Aussie guy who was taking forever to rebuild his KTM brakes. Did he die ?
  15. You do know that Vinegar is weak acetic acid
  16. The is normally a visible grove in the bearing races at the dead ahead and dead after section when mounted in the bike, especially when they have gotten noticeably worn. So the point is you move a fresh relatively unworn section from the left and right sides around to fore and aft. This is in the races not the ball bearings. Yes the ball bearings wear and become pitted and rough but it is the actual races we are talking about here. Even the manual that we had was old, Practical Motorcyclist or something like that looked like it was from the 1960's said it was only a temporary fix. And it did work, the owner of the bike we 'fixed' didn't keep it long after that only a few weeks. He managed to get the deposit together to buy a new Suzuki GP100 on higher purchase.. I wish I could be more accurate but this happened in the early 1980's and I had all but forgotten about it until my mate brought it up the other day.
  17. It would be a tragic waste, White Malt Vinegar is about £3 a gallon, more for cleaning use although you can use it for pickling and cooking or so I have been told.
  18. It's a bit of a garbled article, as far as I have heard there was one Body of the Chap Colman found at Sticker but more multiple remains found at Paramore woods which is a different but close location. Sticker is a lovely sleepy little place, we used to practice (singing) in the village hall years ago.
  19. His make up and hair dye would run . Might improve the smell though.
  20. Now you know I had new ones fitted to my CBF the other day, well I was chatting to one of my mates from back in the day when we were on Fizzy's and AP50's. He said do you remember when we did another mates bike for him. Twas a Suzuki B120 with absolutley fecked steering head bearings. I mean really bad, almost impossible to steer. Anyway he found a generic old Motorcycle maintenance Manual in the charity shop so we used that, about 6 of us tackled it, all without much of a clue. Anyway to the point of the tale, the manual advised us to replace worn steering head bearings but also advised that for a temporary fix that you could take out the races clock them 90 degrees refit and repack the balls in grease. Of course that was what we did and it bloody well worked. Much to all of our surprise. Of course being 16/17 none of us any money so it was never touched again until he traded the B120 for a new Suzuki GP100. I had forgotten about this but my mate reminded me. Anyone else ever heard of this? Of course you would never do such a thing nowadays but I suppose it must have been a acceptable fix back in the day.
