No , I have a Facebook Friend and colourful character called Katie who rides a Shovelhead and lives on a boat near Goole .

There's snow in Hull and from what I've just seen there should be snow in West Coventry about now .

No starter motor I'm afraid but you're welcome to the blanking plates and camshaft . I believe they are interchangeable by repositioning the sprocket but I've got the other one somewhere . -

I'm taking mine off this week . I'll try to show how it's done . -

I wouldn't tempt fate . If the exhaust studs that have stayed in are serviceable I would leave them well alone . -

The crankcase breather should have a pipe about two inches long and about three quarters of an inch in diameter that links it directly to the bottom of the air box . This is a rubbish design that allows the crankcase to fill with fuel in the event that the fuel tap and float valves fail at the same time . The breather pipe may still be knocking around your work area or sitting on top of the swinging arm . -

You could probably get away with only one bolt on the starter but it's not something I'd be too happy about . -
Its a wonderful thing to do but I can understand your reservations . There is a natural tendency for displaced persons to want to remain together for mutual support . Being isolated in a foreign land might have a negative impact on mental well-being .

I reckon it's an Asperger's thing but I only like music that I can predict . Which is why I'm drawn to Blues and Boogie . Once you know what the structure of the song is you are free to absorb the details and the texture of the piece . To quote from Phoenix Nights when they attempted an alternative comedy night , " Tell us some jokes that we know ! "

What a horrible dirge .

Working my way through the wealth of unreleased Stones material that is becoming available . And then I found this gem . The most perfect , straight ahead boogie you could ever wish to hear . Ian Stewart on piano and Charlie Watts making it swing . Beautiful riding music .

If this is the new CBT then my suspicions are confirmed . First the Road Tax , then the Clean Air Zones , Noise Detectors , Petrol prices and now this ! It's the end of an era chaps so get out there while you still can .

All over by Christmas ?

This one was a challenge . A hundred hand cut paper shapes Bluetacked on and then misted with a rattle can . More imagination than accuracy but the Germans were making up colour schemes as they went along when the paint started to run out . He 177 , nickname : The Flaming Coffin .

I ordered a canopy masking kit for my model aeroplanes from a Polish seller on eBay . This is the order confirmation I received and it wasn't quite what I was expecting .

What we need is a strong man to emerge as Britain's leader . Someone with a military intelligence background and a love of the outdoors . Somebody who is prepared to ruthlessly crush all wishy washy liberal opposition and who is backed by true patriots . Somebody who has a vision to make Britain great again even if dissenters have to be rounded up into internment camps for reeducation . Is this starting to sound familiar ? Be careful what you wish for .

Rear brake use depends on the Harley . Mine has twin front discs so in 16,000 miles I don't think I've used the rear brake more than a handful of times . I ride it in the same way that I ride any other bike .

25 % of our gas comes into Milford Haven in liquid form from Qatar .

I thought they were joking about the giant badge .

I agree . While you were writing this I was coming up with a useful suggestion that I often use myself and that is to have a good look at the Parts Catalog rather than the manual . It's helpful to have a general idea what things are called and where they are on the bike .

I recommend that you take the time to thoroughly familiarise yourself with your motorcycle . If you can't tell whether the radiator has been removed from the rear of the bike I dread to think what your understanding of the braking system must be like .
