    Slave cylinder

    Is it oil or is it hydraulic fluid ?
  2. You need a machine to make mashed potatoes . Fork me !
  3. Plug ? It's got four of them and although it's air cooled I bet the middle two are hard to reach.
  4. I couldn't give a shit . At least they didn't trot out the old " Sportsters are chicks bikes " bullshit .
  5. I don't know why anyone makes television programs about motorcycles at all . There are probably millions of hours of material on YouTube that cover every possible aspect of the hobby from as*holes falling off Sportsbikes trying to do stunts to meticulous classic restorations . There's not much of the world's road network that hasn't been filmed from behind a pair of handlebars while someone wibbles on about it with varying degrees of entertainment value . Every possible mechanical operation or repair on every bike imaginable is available to view and every bike past and present is given multiple reviews . But by far the best thing about YouTube is that it is made by US , the Bikers of the world and it's not dumbed down or spiced up to capture maximum ratings .
  6. Electric Harleys and that goggle eyed tit Charlie Boorman in one television program ? Oh dear me no . No no no .
  7. Eh ? Not yours , the OP's one .
  8. Ironic that a government that wouldn't give me the time of day has just changed the time of day . It'll be dark enough when I go home from work at five o'clock in a few weeks anyway without hurrying it up . There's enough people suffering depression as it is without this shit . Time it was knocked on the head .
  9. I've got a lot of experience with CG 125's and I'm stumped . Can you post a picture of the back of the reflector and the bulb please ?
  10. A good choice for a tour of Northwest Scotland . Speed and power count for nothing once you get into the single track roads . I've been touring Scotland for years on all kinds of bikes but without a doubt the best riding I've done was on an ER5 .
  11. So . If it runs on half choke but it doesn't run on full choke , clean or replace the air filter . It's got to have SOME air . It wouldn't be a bad idea to change the plug as well if the bike has been run on choke for any excessive length of time .
  12. Correct . You wouldn't want the choke coming on when you go over a bump .
  13. I used to wear a Caberg . I can't really remember any advantage to having the flip front other than being able to neck a can of pop while still at the petrol pump . I wouldn't go back to having one because I'm quite happy with my Shark Vision . And before anyone asks , no I'm not going to be wearing an open face piss pot just because I've got a Harley .
  14. I believe that the D.I.D brand Is just a name derived from the manufacturer's full title . Daido Kogyo Co., Ltd.
  15. Sunlit uplands sounds lovely ." But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science ." WS 1940 .
  16. I'm laughing because Harley Davidson has stopped making Sportsters and mine is a very sought after model . Ker Ching !

    No Excuse!

    This is what I was thinking too, no way a chain should look like that after 51 miles even if it hadn’t been touched!. Sandpapered and rubbed with salt possibly . I concur that this corrosion has been deliberately induced .
  18. Just the exhaust and a lot of fettling to do and that's that . Winter project done and the clocks haven't gone back yet .
  19. I knew that Harley lift would come in handy .

    No Excuse!

    I'll grant you that Icke is very clever . He can talk for hours without actually saying anything at all .

    No Excuse!

    That's what they want you to think . You think David Icke has been near that chain? It looks ickey to me .

    No Excuse!

    That's what they want you to think .

    No Excuse!

    Has it been brushed with egg white and dusted with cocoa powder perhaps ?
  24. If I ever wonder whether my tear ducts still work , I watch this .
