Might be worth checking out "Frank Thomas " stuff as I believe they are made by the same people. Checkout J&S factory outlet in Finedon Northants which is H.Q and where I have had alterations done in the past. Cheers Ian -
I rode 20 miles to the garage to have my fuelling map updated but for some reason the return journey was 65 miles and included a sausage sandwich and a pint lol. It was a lovely afternoon. Cheers Ian

A proper rear end! cheers Ian

This afternoon I had the fuelling map on the Harley updated to take into account the stage 1 upgrades to the exhaust and air filter. I have to say she feels smoother and the pick up is better without the popping and banging when on the overrun. Apparently it will be more fuel efficient getting that unevenness and popping under control so maybe if I keep it long enough I will save the money I just spent lol. Cheers Ian

CBR600 F3 1998 - amateur restoration

I agree. As you are probably selling it why not leave it as it is and advise the new owner of the work that would be caused by having a lot of keys on a keyring. Cheers Ian -
When did you pass your test and how much was it?

Eat with one and sleep with the other! Your choice which way round. Remember if it`s got tits or tyres it will be expensive trouble. Cheers Ian -
I do know of people who have hidden complete motorcycles and cars in friends barns until safe to reveal. In one case a Laverda Jota and a Bandit 1200 since the early 2000`s with no intention of telling their other half. Cheers Ian

Wishing you and your family all the best for the future. Understand your reluctance regarding your husbands choice to get back on the horse so to speak but I applaud you for your stance on it. After all there is no point in friction in the household as he will do what he wants prefferably with your blessing. Cheers Ian

Agreed ! 40mph ought to suffice ! I`ll get my coat. Cheers Ian

November 2022 we have finally got ourselves a great holiday ! Carribean Island of Guadaloupe where they film the BBC series Death in Paradise. Day 2 into the surf at a beach that was recommended called Glugny and got swamped by a wave and lost the glasses I had forgotten I was wearing. Call to optician back home goes "Hi your not going to believe this but" Oh yes sir that happens a lot ! Very strange next few days trying to do normal things whilst being basically a bat ! Cheers Ian

Quite right too! Think of the trauma it would inflict if she opened her eyes and saw you leering over her lol. I am apprently going to be given a list of dont`s as well I am sure (I have previous for dressing animals up to make them look daft ). Cheers Ian

@Mawsley That is a seriously cute pooch! Frank arrives a week tomorrow and I am sure chaos will ensue. Postal staff have been warned lol. Cheers Ian

Patience is definately the best course of action. Any extracting tools will potentially make things worse. Please check out videos of others using various easy-outs etc then leave yours to soak a little while longer. Someone I worked with a long time ago said before applying a shed load of torque to the problem spend some time gently tapping the fastener with a metal hammer while holding a gentle pressure in the direction you want to go. Good luck. Cheers Ian -
Or hers ! Cheers Ian

Is this the point that someone posts a copy of the old advert for the revolving self cleaning visor that used to be available? Cheers Ian

Just a thought @Mississippi Bullfrog have you seen the bone shaped bag holders for pooch walking? Ideal for your damp sponge and quite easy to zip tie to handlebars. Hope that helps. Cheers Ian

That is an exact description of what Carol is going through, Prior to our holiday sinus and severe hearing loss in one ear. A few days after the new year felt much better then last week almost back to square one with the symptoms which we blamed on her workplace (hospital) but we keep hearing of others with similar issues. Cheers Ian

I have been unreliably informed he is actually a very very small Doberman lol. Cheers Ian

@Mawsley I fully understand your interpretation of blissful we went to visit "Frank" with only 2 weeks to go until we can take him home. Cheers Ian
