World's fastest indian. Good film with that Welsh chap in it

Yes....of course.... cos the way your leathers look is the most important thing. Wouldn't want to look a dick mon the bike would we?

Stopping distance. Pay attention dear boy. Running into the back of stationary traffic at any kind of junction is bad form. Get good personal injury and accident insurance. You gunna need ithttp://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z28/Colin_the_bear/yellow_card.gif

It may not be charging. Lots of threads on here how to check.

Mmmm I love an Indian.

Wrong forum

Restricted they're all the same innit? It won't out perform a modern 600. http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z28/Colin_the_bear/239.gif Lot more fun tho imo

Will it bump? It's not siezed has it?

Having a screw loose seems to be a common occurrence on tmbf

Good bike to start with. Easy sevice too as I remember. You'll need retro gear to look the part

Everything will adjust. You just need a big enough hammer

Tcut and touch up. Or a sticker

sorry disagree fully, ive spent years having to repair and reweld smashed alumininum forming tooling on papercup machines and sweet wrapping machines, never had a broken weld ever, for their size these components have to handle far more stress than a bike engine bolted into a frame, ive also welded cast engine casings on both cars and bikes and never had a failure, welding any casting with a tig set is an art that not everyone can pull off though Surely if you can pull it off..............it's not very strong

Somebody giving him a hard time?http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z28/Colin_the_bear/character0073.gif

I would like to see a progressive licence system brought in that had more categories. More competent and able road users allowed more leeway. Restrict vehicles, similar to the way bikes are, till the driver passes competence tests, get too many points and you get down graded to a Reliant restricted to 30mph, keep doing it and you're on powered roller skates mate. Most people just need transport. Passing one test that lets you drive anything is too simple. A decent family saloon performs like a 60's formula one car. Doing the school run in a vehicle that would have out performed Sterling Moss is a strange concept. The easiest way to slow traffic down is to not repair the roads, then we'll all get shook to bits

really!!! its hard enough trying to stop some of our buses when a car pulls out in front of you at 30 so can you imagine what its like at 40!! then you have HGV's too! the speed limits are set for ALL vehicles not just cars and bikes Which is why these vehicles have different speed limits Poor obsevation for not spotting the copper though. I wonder what else you missed? [

Paraffin for cleaning/degreasing, works a treat and is cheap as chips

Could you do a "brass rubbing" or tracing of the rest and cut it out?

Grease works as a sealant too. A smear on each side of the gasket. Use a scraper to clean up the surfaces. A smear of oil on the head will stop the silicone sticking for easy removal next time.

Dip tea towel into the petrol tank and set fire to the other end. Stand well back, ring insurance and buy Honda with payout PS stand well back

Do a full service. Follow haynes and do the routine maintenace. I have a clymer manual for mine which calls it routine maintenance and tune up. Makes you more inclined to do a "tune up" than "routine" stuff

Fit an in line filter while you're at it. Easy to change. You never know what comes out of the pump these days

Been working in a quarry. 4got my music player, could only pick up one radio station. Smooth Radio. So many old songs and old radio 1 DJ's
