  1. Looking good so far. Apart from the very thin, curvy handlebars!
  2. Good question Ian!
  3. We're gonna be heading across from Huntingdon.......and our route takes us through Milton Keynes...... I am going to dip a little futher South (from the M1 R/Bout ish) past the wildlife park, then head West across country. Quite a few choices and mostly good roads going that way.
  4. Cat has a 'free' bike you can collect - It looks like a prettier paperweight than the one you currently have!
  5. Suspect a bit of debris blocking the pipe - Now cleared (fingers crossed).
  6. Tower of Song - Leonard Cohen
  7. Fire - The Crazy World of Arthur Brown
  8. You use a wire brush and rag whilst hammering along in 5th Gear! Amazing!
  9. Before any long journey and at least once per month. Never had to top them up more than a couple of PSI.
  10. However, from your comment 'only 50 miles or so of fuel' - are you sure you are NOT on reserve anyway? If the fuel tap is on the right, and you had the bike on the side-stand................... Just a thought!
  11. Some Kind of Monster - Metallica
  12. Plus you will need to have it certified as 'fit for use' (MSVA mentioned above).
  13. Monday Morning - Fleetwood Mac
  14. Moo (et al), Sorry but I will be heading 'oop t'north' for some Jordy & Yorky tags (plus Cumbria). However, there are a couple of tags near where you lot are going - Chance to get on the 'Challenge 100' list!!! Hope you have a great ride-out.
  15. Ok, so I get an invite to a free wine & dine at the OXO Tower Restaurant. Decide that it would be best to book a room at the Premier Inn, Stevenage to save bu@@ering about with transport options. Get a return (off-peak) train ticket. Cost = £110.00p. (about the same price as the meal & wine) Therefore cost neutral. However......... Fell asleep on the 00:50 train out of London! Woke up just as it was leaving the platform at Royston!! Got off at the next stop - Middle of nowhere!!! Got a taxi from there back to Stevenage - £60!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and that was less than the meter price! ) NO FREE MEAL AT ALL! F**k It F**k It F**k It V F**k It
  16. Goodbye Blue Sky - Pink Floyd
  17. Dependent on temperature and humidity - best left for 24 hours.
  18. These anti-social twohats give the rest of us caring dog owners a bad rep - Just like some bikers! Most councils impose fines if the owner is reported - Would I report this. Bl@@dy too right I would!
  19. Who are you? Who are any of you? Come to that - Who am I?
  20. Phooey - Says it all really!
  21. All the best Gary
  22. So.... If I couple up a second drive wheel (trike) AND fit a flexi-link between the front and rear of the 'trike' (so the front can lean), does countersteering still work? And, more impotantly, will I still need to 'nod' at 125 owner/riders?
  23. Vote for 'The Cat'.
  24. Chain jumping off the front sprocket will 'jam' the bike. Moving backwards can pull the chain back on. 1. Is the chain tension correct? 2. Have you checked the condition of the front (and rear) sprockets?

    Fault code

    The code is: One long flash and nine quick flashes! if you let us know what make/model your motorcycle (I assume by 'bike', you mean motorcycle?) is, we may be able to tell you what the code means.
