Sir Fallsalot

Same here Clive except it was village rivalry, me and a mate were in the wrong village at the wrong time and got jumped by five lads.

With the crap you've had out the carb so far you can be sure its the same inside so it's a carb off job and good clean

Don't panic him Bob let him get it started first

The closest sized place to that here is M&P in Swansea, i think they sell about 12 motorcycle brands new and all sorts of used, Their also sell clothing and accessories on line so have a huge warehouse full of stock there, when one of the guys showed it to me all i could think of was the warehouse they stored the ARC in at the end of Raiders of the lost Arc

That's why i stay away from the stuff where i can. My car is supposed to run on super unleaded but will run fine on E10 but i found i get more MPG when i run on E5 so it cancels out the price difference between the two fuels and the car runs better on E5

I run E5 in everything unless i'm stuck but never really had a problem with old petrol being left a while other than the small amount left in the carb

The bike has an auto decompressor with a built in anti kickback mechanism for normal starting which makes the bike feel like it has no compression the manual decompressor is for occasions when i't's flooded usually after crashing Forgot to say the bike is an old design that hasn't changed much mine is 22 years old

Grab a 17mm ring spanner and take put the plug under the carb float bowl (turn the petrol off first) try and save the fuel in the plug to inspect see if there's any crap in there, you can turn the fuel on to flush it through at this point, i also find dropping the stale fuel out the carb helps starting after being left for a while. When you refill the carb if it starts pissing fuel just turn the tap off and start it with whats in the carb you can turn it back on when you go for a ride. If mines been left for a while dropped or flooded i find the procedure in the handbook works every time

It's not just Honda Ktm have wheelie control so someone like me who cant wheelie can look like a pro on a KTM and their traction control also allows you to power slide with very little risk of falling off, great in gravel i hear

You can afford to treat yourself now the fat mutter is going

I thought i'd drag the 650 out to have a look over it to see what if it needs anything for the MOT, Battery was and is totally flat even though my battery tender says its ok so that's a disappointment for a start. Got it fired up off the boost starter no problem but noticed the stop light isn't working, Checked the but bulb that's ok, so after fiddling about a bit i find there's no continuity on the cable for the stop light and finds a break under the rear mudguard repairs that and it's a bloody awkward job, puts all the cable back checks it and it's all working but i find one of the number plate LED lights is out and the wiring is the same route as the ones i just put back so that's it for tonight I've had enough will look at that through the week then it will be onto the check wheels. bearings steering and suspension

Your right Pete not a common sight here, however i grew up in a timber house, my father bought it in kit form and built it himself he moved in when i was born so it's 55 years old now. The land it's built on and the house itself cost around £3000 back then

Ungrateful bastards. hope she does allow you to see them and not stop it when you get there deliberately wasting your time and messing with your head

Will they be providing a place for you to stay while there

I would guess its learning Spanish but what do i know

I learnt to ride on my mates C90 it was all off road riding apart for a few miles of road to get to the dirt, the pair of us run it into the ground, after its demise he buried in his back garden. I have some great memories of it.

I know what you mean I've been getting loads of patio and block paving adds in my Facebook feed and i haven't searched for anything I've just been talking about what i'm thinking of doing with the boys in work

We know how much you like it Pete

It has a warning about you on the bottom

Been working above what can only be described as a lorry full of yens used steaming underpants for the last 6 days, the smell certainly keeps your sinuses clear This is the part of Swansea Bay you don't see

He would have polished it back to bare metal before the first service is due
