  1. If you are over fifty or have underlying health issues you can get a flu jab at Boots, Tesco`s Lloyds Pharmacies in Most Sainsburys and a lot of other outlets free of charge. Go on their websites to see whos close to you, if not its a tenner. I always get my flu jab at the start of Autumn as the doctors are late getting stock or not enough.
  2. The first eco boost ford engines had a plastic/metal part cooling the egr valve if I remember right and this part used to fracture dumping all the coolant and trashing the engine. It took ford a while to sort the fault and a lot of garages refused to work on these engines due to the design of the engine and specialist equipment needed to repair it. So for those still in warranty at the time a new engine would be installed.
  3. You have Cornwall Kawasaki down near Redruth or North Cornwall motorcycles at Bude next to the A39. Im sure either of these would be able to sort the bike out no problem.
  4. I very much doubt its the valves at that mileage, Have a look to see if the air box is restricted by anything or something has made a home in there.
  5. Why does it need that beak when it has a front mudguard, completely pointless.
  6. Very nice good luck having to wait until the new year for it.
  7. Have you got a picture of the new enfield.
  8. What bike is it for? Black Widow do full systems for most bikes, and thumbs up for Delkavic to Ive used their end cans before and very good quality.
  9. Have a look at Black Widow Exhausts they have a good reputation and seem well made from the systems ive seen on bikes. Black Widow Exhausts
  10. God that is pig ugly and chinese why would anyone want one.
  11. Try these for rebuild kits. Powerhouse Automotive – Brakes | Superchargers | Remapping They do refurb on brakes but they also have rebuild kits for nearly every bike going on their ebay shop. Ive used kits from them no problem.
  12. Ive just filled the survey in, I prefer the Classic/Manx TT its a far more relaxed affair compared to the TT and more diversity in the bikes that race and those ridden there by the spectators.
  13. Sounds completely normal to me.
  14. The chinese gave the world covid dont waste your hard earned money buying anymore of their junk you will regret it the first time it breaks down.
  15. Is it right S-westerly that the container ship Ever Given is still be held in a joining lake on the Suez Canal by the Egyptian authorities until the owners pay for lost trade. I saw a few months ago they were demanding nearly a billion dollars.
  16. But we love you even if she doesnt keep it up you are doing us oil burners proud.
  17. Many years ago I was in an industrial estate in Birmingham in front of my truck was a bloke on a honda 250 if memory serves me right and in front of him was another 40 foot tautliner. As we went along the road the artic in front realized he had missed the entrance to his delivery so he stopped checked mirrors and saw I was a distance back so stuck the truck in reverse not realizing there was a bike right behind him. It took the rider by surprise and he could not paddle backwards fast enough he fell off luckily I had huge airhorns on my truck and just hung onto the cord until the truck stopped. The rider managed to scrabble to the side and the bike ended up by the triaxle. I dread to think what could of happened. Don't let your accident put you off it wasn't your fault and you will learn from it. Always position so drivers can see you and expect the unexpected as there are thousands of utter morons out there trying to kill you.
  18. Unless you can see the physically see the bike and proof that he owns it and has the V5c in his name I would steer well clear of this, There are so many red flags waving reading your post to me it sounds a con.
  19. Sorry not for me its all about the noise the vibration the connection with the engine. Ive watched the electric racing bikes evolve at the TT races for years and they sound like a tumble drier on spin cycle the only noise is the chain going round utterly boring.
  20. To all you lot that dont get moto gp in their tv package this sunday ITV4 will be showing the three Moto Gp races live from about 10am.
  21. The mistake the motorcyclist made was when he submitted false documents to the police you you ratchet up the offence to what he was charged with and found guilty of namely Perverting the course of justice. If you get found guilty of this offence it can be life imprisonment at its worse and judges take a very dim view of this. The rider should of just put his hand up and took the punishment as when he gets out that conviction will hang round his neck for years now causing no end of problems in the future.
  22. Whats work ??????????????? its been so long I cant remember doing any.
  23. Ive not used this company but his work does look good and he says he repairs Italian gauges. Home (guagerepairs.com)
  24. For those that dont have BT tv the highlights are being shown on ITV4 on Monday night at 8pm
  25. As long as they pay the postage they can have them.
