While I do welcome a crackdown on this kind of crime, I do have a concern about the police acting as Judge and Jury, having fallen foul of a few complete ar*eholes in police uniforms. Also having been almost wiped out on my bike by an unmarked speeding police car jumping a junction I think they should still be brought to account for their actions if it affects innocent people, but as has been posted - that doesn’t help if you’re dead !!

They wouldn't be though, it would be down to 12 people who are too stupid to get out of jury service. The Jury only determine guilt, the sentence is provided by the Judge ( person in a silly wig )

The airbox is an ugly carbuncle of epic proportions - I’ve let it out to a family of 10 illegal immigrants. I think I’ll have to consult those who’ve gone down this road before me, not as easy as I thought... as usual !!

Thanks both. I’m gonna use the link pipes from the carb to air box then put the pods on those.

So I’m cleaning the carbs up for the Trophy, I’m ditching the old air box and tubes contraption and gonna put on foam filters. The air box inlet side of the carbs are oval with a separate small chamber - what’s it for? It seems to divert air into to the carb top. Please see pic. I’ve polished up one of the float bowls and sprayed with 3 coats of petrol resistant lacquer...... I then picked up the carb and thought ‘WTF have I done???’ There is no way I’ll get the carb that shiny with all its books and crevices

There’s weird, then bat shit crazy, then it’s wearing your watch with the face on the inside of your wrist ... Nutter alert !!!! I tend to flail around a lot You’re not helping your case

There’s weird, then bat shit crazy, then it’s wearing your watch with the face on the inside of your wrist ... Nutter alert !!!!

So, I got 2 out of 3 correct. Alex Marquez could have had a better chance if he could have stayed on the bloody thing !!

I also took a pack up, washed it down with a few cans of lager which I also took. It’s £5 / pint for boggo Carlsberg at the show, you can get 4 x 1pint cans of a premium lager for that and have £15 left for 2 necktubes

Police presence in Rugby is coz of the local thieving sh*tbags not any terrorist threat !!

Hiya Welcome to the loony bin. In answer to your question... anything is possible, it’s just a matter of invention, application and £

I’ve got a Casio G-Shock, I never take it off ( except when I had MRI scan), it’s had loads of abuse and it’s still going strong after 7 years ( had new battery). It can get wet and take vibes on the bike without any issues.

Thank goodness for that. I’d got visions of a Cov Telegraph headline ‘Huge Conflagration Lights Up Coventry Sky, Blamed on Irresponsible Use of Motorcycle in Domestic Residence’ W.M. Police say “only means of identifying the victim by surviving ‘Itchy Bum’ stickers” Good effort, glad it’s ended well

Got a set of Halfords Advanced Screwdrivers 1/2 price (£10) Spoke to the guy at the bike station who knew about JIS ( unlike the people at tool station, screwfix or Machine Mart) and uses them on Shimano gears sets ( they have JIS fixings) what ever they are !!

A good friend of mine died at 60, 3 months before he was due to take early retirement. He had a great Pension lined up and all for nowt. That’s why I decided to retire early, 40 years service is enough, I’m gonna have some time relaxing before I kick it.

Depends upon the price you put on your blood!!

FFS £82 for a few screw drivers?? I’ll be looking for some bits that fit into a socket.

Oohh Maybe something to treat myself to at the bike show this weekend!!

Is it the same as Posi drive?

JIS?? I seem to recall something about that ... Is that because they are Japanese Mikuni carbs?

Not had experience with it, but in my simple mind anything that retains moisture close to metal is a bad thing !! Unless it has magical water repellent properties.

H’mmm Not sure the carbs would take kindly to that

So ... I’m stripping the carbs of the Trophy to give them a good clean and maybe some jetting work to suit a freer flowing inlet and exhaust. Why do we complain that the fixings are made of cheese when they churn up and slip .... only to complain that they are hard as iron when we try and slot them with a junior hacksaw??? Eventually used the Dremel to cut a slot and remove the bast*rd, only 6 more to go. Here is the recalcitrant bugger - the red stuff started dripping from my finger when the original screwdriver bit slipped !!
