  1. That's known as a Mechanical Seal . Have you tried Chinese Bike Parts ( Something like that ) it's probably fairly generic .
  2. Get the bike really want and ride it a lot because you've got 15 years before they turn off the Petrol .
  3. What exactly is the issue ?
  4. I just got on a bike and rode it . Just do everything nice and slow .
  5. If you can make out the words Harley Davidson on the petrol tank , you've probably got rubbish suspension .
  6. eBay is a market place for thousands of reputable and established traders . Before you buy , scroll down and see who the seller is . A lot of the time it turns out to be M&P of Swansea especially if you are looking for the best deal on Chains and Sprockets . Maybe you are thinking of Amazon , AliExpress or , God forbid , Wish .
  7. Just in anticipation .
  8. Nice to see the Zed out and about . Dare I venture to suggest that the carbs might need balancing ?
  9. No . That would read as if you had abstained from all three .
  10. A common problem in neutered tom cats . Lazy and greedy .
  11. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better my neighbor handed me these mirrors . The whole project has just been elevated to a different level of classiness .
  12. It's been a while but I've found the time to drag the ER5 out and fire it up . It literally fired up first touch of the button . Not a lot to say really .
  13. I've almost had flies that bad once . I was riding past the Cotswold Water Park late one warm evening . In the road ahead I could see what appeared to be dense columns of smoke but when I rode through one I discovered that they were composed of millions of some kind of lake fly . My visor went from clear to zero visibility in an instant so that I had to just brake in a straight line and hope for the best . Luckily , I was prepared for just such an event . TOP TIP . Whenever you visit a KFC with help yourself Clean Up Tissues , fill your pockets . I've just realised that that was the same night that I got nicked by my arch enemy Gloucestershire Constabulary for overtaking a Breakdown Truck on double white lines .
  14. I've just ridden through a load of Mayflies . Juicy buggers aren't they .
  15. Took a picture of my neighbor's bike today .
  16. In that case it just has to Sally's Place in the Malvern Hills .
  17. One criticism of the Blackbird was that it went straight from nought to stupid speeds before anyone realised what was happening .
  18. A lovely ride out around Warwickshire and parts of Worcestershire . Summer's here at last .
  19. Quite so . Although I wasn't actually behind the screen , riding my GSXR was like being in a still-air bubble . If I was doing highly illegal speeds I used to sit upright to act as an air brake when I needed to slow down .
  20. Anyway , I thought you worked for the NHS as a professional Homophobe .
  21. Why would anyone be scared of a house ?
  22. I do not accept the premise that the rings are forced against the cylinder wall by combustion .
  23. They made a lot more than water cooled 50's . This flat twin model proved extremely popular with these young German enthusiasts and was the mount of choice for many a European excursion .
  24. A nice run out this evening . The first time I've been out after work on a weekday this year . I got home in time to change my engine oil and my primary oil . That's all the maintenance I'm likely to do on the Harley this year . Over the weekend I'm planning on dragging the ER5 project out and firing it up for the first time since I rebuilt it with better barrels and pistons .
