That's a shame Dave - However, you could turn up dressed as a Train Driver.

Essentially it is the same - The mechanic should put the wheel on the machine and add the weights where indicated.

The 'wobble' caused by incorrect balancing can happen at any speed - If it has been balanced correctly, then there should be no 'wobble'. Wheel alignment should not cause 'wobble' but loose or worn bearings can. Brake disc warping or 'sticky' pistons can cause similar symptoms but usually this is over a far greater speed range. Have you tried holding the wheel and tried to move it sideways (top / bottom)? Is there any 'flex' in putting pressure on the handlebars and keeping the wheel still?

Currently suffering from a really bad back!

You can get the thru8ng eliminator misaligned with the navo sensor which will stop countersteering - otherwise you should be OK.

I would allow a pub called 'the great Exhibition in lieu of the Exhibition. Go for it! -
However a separate fused circuit through a relay (powered on through the ignition) is the best option.

1. Yes. 2. JB weld will not provide more that a temporary fix. Find someone with access to a welding kit and get a small 'plate' welded over the crack - other option is 'silencer bandage' (again, a temporary fix).

I would suggest something is damp when you set off and is 'cured' when it has dried out (3-4 miles). Give the electronic components a spray of WD40 and see if that helps.

I use Robinson's squash as my soft drink of choice.

The 'Life Sciences' people are working on a cure - Keep warm and stay indoors, drink plenty of fluids and if it gets worse, go to A&E. Have you had a 'cheeky poo' yet?
-

Got there early but had to leave early also Was that 'original' Indian Scout still there when you arrived Ollie? That is the first one I've ever seen with twin leading shoe front brakes - and it said it was totally 'original'
