JB weld = 7 days JB waterweld = 10 months now trying petroPatch.... would like to know how you get on with ChemMetal have got Quiksteel metal tank repair in case. lol Well tonight i went marching into Halfords with the firm intention of walking out with a tube of said chemical metal but....... right next to it on the shelf was a mix paste combo by the name of "leak-fix" its from the same folks who do the Chemy metal, plastic padding or whatever... but on the box it said fixes petrol oil water and all other manor of leaks..... in 10 MINUTES! Ha ha, well ever willing to gamble 6 quid i picked it up bought it and have wadded it onto where the leak was. fine so far but its only been an hour or so Tbh the leak was honestly sooooooooooo small i'll be seriously dissapointed if this doesnt do the job full stop! Impressed so far! Ha ha

Hah snap! I managed to get so into the drive up there once that i forgot to check my petrol guage and ran out on the way back! Well soon as the Duke is ready to hit the mean streets of Bonnie Scot i'll pipe up again and we can arange something, sound good?

Im in a place called Bishopton. There's a few good routes around here but none are anywhere near long enough! I've taken to heading up Loch Lomand with the car and it blew me away the first time i did it! Yet to nip up there on the duke but beleive me its in the works ha ha.

ahh thats right! I think you mentioned it in my "n00b" post i put up lol. Well right now the duke's siting with no tank on her as i discovred a teeeeeeeny little seeping of petrol from a previous repair. Nothing a blob of chemical metal wont nip in the bud though. So when thats done we'll need to get out there eh!

Just got myself a Ducati 916 after having been stuck on 4 wheels for a year Unfortunatly being the only bike enthusiast in the vilage rides can get a bit lonley ha ha ha. Just wondred if there was anyone up for a blast up "the loch" or something anytime?

I never really understood that law (and many others but lets not go off on a tangent! Ha ha!) about bikes not needing mirrors or indicators by law! I mean it seems a little arse about tit when you think about it. A car could do without them as its safer to have one hand off the wheel for signaling rather than one off the bars right? And surley its safer to cock a look about in a car with no mirrors rather than on a bike? Ah well another of lifes mysterys... anyway as stated no legal need to have mirrors anywhere on your bike but if they ARE there they must not be obstructed, dagerous (ie hangin on by a wadge of chuddy) or broken. Same for indicators

Ha ha ha. Christ I am such a tit! I'm looking at it right now. It totaly is a horn isnt it! I just got into such a panic about what this thing could be and to be fair it dosent have its little metal cover over it either! Ahem, anyway. Thats not going to be the cause of my problem lol! Cheers........... and tell NO ONE of this! lol

Tested it today to see if it would start but no spark at the plugs. Just want to eliminate this thing before i go hunting down the problem. Cheers guys!

Im almost certain that Harleys has shut down now bud, i tried getting onto them as thats who a friend of mine did his CBT and big bike test with. I did my CBT with Ride on and passed first time. Went straight back after a few months and did the DAS cource. 8 lessons with Mod 1 and 2 booked up in advance (mod 2 after having passed 1) or something and a Mod 1 practice. Great guys there, i passed the test first time down to their good tuition. 130 for the CBT like you said (btw there's no need for the guarente option!) and im sure all the DAS was in the region of 5 or 600 pounds? That was with bike hire and test fees etc etc.
