Catteeclan

You found the cause so all should be well. I undo the cam oil feed ever now and again, makes mess but does show the oil heading upwards.

I love a good conspiracy.

It's not the regulators, generators are at fault. Not really big enough so over heat and burn out.

Riding the Dominator today and while going through a couple of lanes I thought about the old xl600lmf I had. The engine was a bit tame for a 600, really under powered although it would get up to speed after a while and id would plod though anything. But the plush seat, soft suspension and the bike fitted me better got me thing about stuffing a dominator engine in it.

heeeeeeeyyy, ok.

I know but it was a great bike.

Size of it you'd be beating it for a good while. As for the big DR I remember a mate having one back in the day but can't remember riding it. Ship one over Bob, I need to know what it's like.

I said yes on the poll but the new tracer looks fugly. So tempted by another xt1200. Honda Dominators, not so fussed now I've had them for so long and know their list of faults. As for the TDM, I seem to go find another as soon as I trade/sell one.

Can I say, the less shit the car has is less shit to go wrong.

It's weight does matter as I've aged but it was more of what I could getup of a tankful that influenced my purchase. As for big bikes, once again age has mellowed me so grunt of overtaking something far outweighs out and out power so a larger capacity bike would still be attractive to me.

I was away walking the Dorset coast path with a nutty mate. Said mate pissed me off so I made my way home early. Walked in the house and the first thing Mandi said was "Diana's dead". Not, what are you doing home, want some food or even hello.

You're right Yen but it most of the older bikes. They seem to prefer a separate one now.

You look tiny on that

Wasn't Laa Laa a girl.

If you meant architecturally I'd agree.

Bit difficult to make out what's what there.

Fuckin puddle would be enough

Reminded me of a time, more than once thinking about it, me and Mandi stopped to fill up, buy some rolls, butter and some ham and make our own butties. Last time was Spain I think.

Had a very similar one. Friends bike, girl on the back and me with no helmet. Fly went into my eye. Got the bike to the side of the road somehow. Shit it hurt and I got the dead fly out in several bits. Eye took a while to recover too.

Generally, if you have a reflector on the rear it’ll get a pass. Testers around here agree it will reflect anywhere on the rear of the bike.

You can lose an arm

Enjoy. Hope you have more luck with food than we did. Seemed to pick days where no one wanted to cook.

I might well nip back and collect mine and Mandis bikes as we're only a hour away from home.

Not your thumbs got weaker as we get older then. Must confess to doing that myself but I use 2 thumbs together, check properly every other time.
