Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - Black Sabbath (Ozzie at his best!)

Valley Girl - Frank Zappa

Almost certainly it will be a 'bad' earth. Check all cable earthing points for a good clean connection.

Before I add the next song / artist - may I politely point out that the rules call for a minimum of 3 (consecutive) letters to be re-used, not just 2! Into the West - Annie Lennox

Mary Jane- Alanis Morisette

There are various owner's groups/forums which can help locate the 'bit' you need as well as the regular 'auto jumbles'. Newark is a good source of both pattern and OEm parts for 70s & 80s japanese bikes (as well as most 'Brits'). Unless it is a complex part (i.e. carb) then most times you can 'adapt and fit'. This includes fuel tanks, lights and suspension. Just 1 word of warning - You are very unlikely to make any profit from a rebuild unless it is a very rare and sought after machine. Plus 'Barn Finds' are not usually actual 'finds' at all! I have been 'rebuilding' a 1974 MZ for a few years now and it is at the 'roadworthy' state - Spend to date is approximately £350. Bike value is approximately £300.

Have a good winter folks!

Beg for Broken Legs - Ryan Bingham

Death on Two Legs - Queen

Interstellar Overdrive - Pink Floyd

Can't attend as I will be travelling up to troon in a minibus - Sailing!

Used this method a few times with good results. Just depends how much room you have. Add JB Weld to your 'fix it kit' (a metal paste 2-part mix) - it's better than Araldite.

Can't attend next week - Sailing out of Lorient.

Wot e sed!

Rusty Nail - X Japan

Lines looking great Bob! Need to swap out those bars though.

Are you sure it is not too slack?

Exactly which part(s) is broken? If simply the cylinder head - a breakers / fleabay have these usually (NB. You will need a new gasket). If the exhaust stud - Use an extractor / drill to remove and replace. Exhaust flange - just replace. All fairly easy fixes. If it is the actual barrel you have broken, then a replacement top end / 2nd hand engine is needed. Pictures would help.

Bike been dropped? Glad you found the problem and it was an easy fix!

Was not a 'link' just a text copy giving the fleabay detail. Anyhoo - It has been sold now.

Just to cheer you up Ian - There were loads of bikes there last night (but only a few of us).
