Mr Fro

It does work Joeman. I nipped up a couple of cracks on the side scoops of wifey's toy car a few years back and they're still good. There are specialist kits available for this - I saw one in action on Wheeler Dealers.

Profesh. Profesh to the max.

Reline the cylinders maybe.

I thought about it long and hard and the answer is a resounding "no". I mean, I'd have to go to Essex and everything. I will offer sonication services for biscuits though as I won't have to go to Essex ( ).

Cheers Stu!

Budget? Not much - I'm still getting earache about buying: new suspension, a lathe, a pillar drill, tool chest, loads of tools, bench grinder, more tyres, new welder... you get the idea. My supercorsas are 160 so the same size wets would work great - no buggering about with suspension.

Have you done this yet or what?

I stuck 30 in as the walls are pretty rigid compared to pure track tyres and didn't want the walls to crease or fold and nasty things to happen. It was the first run out with the new suspension too - wish I'd taken a few more tools as the front was a little high but never mind. Those sizes are right - if your chum has some good looking scrubs I'd be interested.

Towards the end of last year a friend asked me to join him on his first noddy track day at Snet. The weather was a bit scabby at the time so I scratched about for some second hand wets but failed to find any. I already had some PR4 on my road zx6r and have been well impressed by them so reasoned that I could get another set and use them as an intermediate on the ZXR for track purposes. If they were crap then I could always use them on the road bike. The day was cold and misty with a damp/greasy track which improved slightly throughout the day. I took it easy for the sighting laps as the tyres were brand new. By half way through the second session I was able to chuck the bike about no problems. I set the pressures to 30psi F/R and found the grip excellent. I was able to trail brake hard right up to the apex of the corners and slap my knee down with ease. There were a couple of moments early on - a little bit of wash from the front tipping in and a teensy slide powering out - probably where I was pushing my luck on the new rubber. After that it was all gravy. All in all, I was really happy I used them. I was a few seconds off my normal lap times but in fairness I'd barely done any riding all year and there was quite a lot of traffic. Anyway, here's how they looked by the end of the day, a bit of yellowing on the wall where they got hot and some wear on the spies: http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx246/Mr_Fro/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0422.jpg http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx246/Mr_Fro/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0424.jpg

Did you taste it? Dip your finger in it and touch it on your tongue - if it's got a sweet taste then it's antifreeze. If it tastes like cat piss then it's cat piss.

If you give me a million pounds I will help you. Not much mind...

It'd only be a small saving - just as well most twin riders qualify for the early bird specials.

Very considerate thieves... Have you checked the continuity of the earth points? A dodgy earth can cause all kinds of odd stuff to happen.

I don't really know what you're asking/saying here. You messed about with the flasher relay and now it's now working. Was it working before? A fuse blew repeatedly after you hard wired the switch to the indicators. Which one? You want to add a load resistor... Why? Temporary solution to the problem - learn hand signals.

Nope. I was stupid then too!

I the words of my father-in-law when I asked for the hand of his daughter: Why don't you fak orf.

The wide, massive, gaping hole in your otherwise perfect logic is the people who enjoy VR the most don't have partners. In fact, the majority of their human contact is with their parents when they enter their room to investigate that f**king awful smell.

Don't let Hoggs know you've not updated your profile thingy!

But... but... but... if you get a new bike then you can flog your Keeway Superlight (whatever one of those is) to a TMBF Idiot Challenge participant. Everyone's a winner.

When I was younger I caught a bee. I calmed it down in the fridge for a bit then tied a bit of thread round it and took it for a walk/fly. Does that count? I released it afterwards of course.

Might be worth giving the plug caps an extra turn on the leads - they gave me bother on my ZXR.

You might - might be able to weld, silver solder or lead it. Have you got any pics?

I don't think it'd matter where I put it, I'd still be unable to find the bast*rd!

Anyway, keyed chucks are a pain in the nuts. My pillar drill has one - takes me a couple of minutes to find the key when I want to make a hole in something. Oh, and extra greatness of Makita - I stuck a paddle on it and mixed up 17 x 20kg bags of self levelling muck on one charge.

What have you got? I've had my Makita for years - it's been nicely abused and although the chuck is starting to sound a bit ropy, it's still functional.
