They diverted the grub up north so the Scottish kids can have free food all year round.

Happy birthday Beefy!

What bike?

It depends on your riding style and situation. It's a really personal thing - there is no right or wrong answer unless you crash or end up on the wrong side of the road. I always used to use the IAM method until I started farting about on track when I learned that it's perfectly safe to keep the front brakes on fairly heavily while leant right over so long as you're smooth coming off them and smooth on the throttle. You can read all the stuff you like just so long as you take it as advice and not as gospel. You're the one in control so try out a few methods and see what works best for you.

Looks good matey!

I think beefy is right on that. I don't think it costs all that much to do the ACU licence though - have a look through the MSV website for the bumpf. [mention]cockercas[/mention] might be able to shed some light.

Depends really, my mother in law is pretty hot... For a pensioner.

Doesn't work well if you're commuting though. Polarised sun glassed cut the glare pretty well.

Hmm... Doubt you'll get anything noticeable on a 125 without other heavy modification. Best bet is get a dyno readout (going rate is £30-60) and see if you're running lean before fiddling with jets and stuff.

Is 51mm not a bit big?

Yeah, it pops right out.

I think I used M8 and bent it. Perhaps I should lay off the pies.

Not too thin a bit of stud or it'll bend and be bloody difficult to get out without damaging stuff! /experience

A balaclava isn't a great idea in my book as it adds to the circumference of your bonce so the lining gives and makes the lid loose if you don't wear it. More importantly though it messes up your hair.

Dude - top tip: Check the rear engine mounts - you might be able to undo the front ones and pivot the engine on the rear mounts if they are in-line. That'll save you all kinds of precariously balanced arse ache. Also, those little magnetic trays are really handy for keeping bits together. I think Screwfix do them as well as Halfords.

Hold up, let me get this straight as I'm quite tired and slightly pissed. You want a couple of nuts 14mm across flats with an M10 thread or something that looks a bit like the pic with M10 & 14mm AF with a grub screw in the top. I might be able to knock something up if you're stuck.

If you mean the fabric ones, I bought some for about £6 from eBay. They look turd and they needed a bit of fiddling to get right but they keep the wind and rain off just fine. This sort of thing.

Has this got anything to do with the pint sized ginger cock weevil Chris Evans?

Still sounds like the cable isn't return correctly - especially if the idle adjustment doesn't work. What happens if you waggle the cable where it attaches to the carb?

If you get the PR5, can you bung up a review on them when you get a mo. I'd interested to hear what you think.

I was going to say the same thing. You need to squish those buggers down quite a way to get the collets back in. Besides, I doubt there will be room for the retainer with two or three cable ties in there too. I think you'd be better off knocking up a lever that pivots on the can bearing bolts. Edit: bloody hell [mention]megawatt[/mention] , beat me to it!.

Which way are you coming up? M11 or A134?

Yeah, looks like an emission control system. Is it brand new or a second hander?

I did something similar at a meet with my brand spanking new lid. Bloody thing flopped off of the mirror on to the tarmac. I was right next to [mention]Joeman[/mention] at the time too. I haven't let it worry me overly.
