  3. i thought it was a temp repair til you replace them? i have used gum on plenty of car exhausts over the years and yes it can shrink and crack, but usually over a long time or if it wasnt allowed to cure properly. i have also tried to weld thin fatigued exhausts and know how awkward it can be. especially arc or mig. i know which one i would rather do for a temp fix... brazing would be less likely to blow bigger holes. anyone on here tried that on headers? if it is to be temp fix, it doesnt matter how ugly the weld/braze/gum looks as the wrap will hide it.
  4. let us know how you get on. remember to let the gum fully harden before revving. let it sit on tick over for ages to really heat the exhaust.
  5. yes, i recon you can, depending on the size of the holes. use the gum to fill the holes, wrap it in tin foil (to stop the gasses blowing the gum out while it hardens) and wrap the header wrap a round the foil. hold the wrap in place with wire. it will look loike normal header wrap and will poss last a good while if the gum sets properly. bear in mind that most header wrap is designed to be under a car bonnet and will hold water like a sponge and will rot your pipes quicker. have a look on eebay for marine header wrap as this water resistant and doesnt hold water. you'll prob find a standard second hand exhaust for the same price of the wrap!
  6. i have finaly gotten around to sortin my team out. i hate stoner but for the points he'll get this year, i just had to add him grrr.

  9. i understood the original post ok. meet at the fishpond carpark. which we did. me, rebel rach, devans, boothy, little cat, TC, and a couple of others. was a good day out, not too cold and the roads were dry. just a shame that the chip shop we had lunch in was minging; devans was getting all OCD about it lol. and for those that havent met up with other forum members yet, please dont think that these are exclusive meets for cliques that you have to be "in" to attend. we have 5000 registered members and anyone is welcome.. i am looking forward to the next meet up.
  10. i have a friend at my bike club who straps a suitacase to his bike when we go to bike rallies. it contains his tent, camp bed ,sleeping bag, cider, chair, clothes etc. pretty sure you could find a second hand samsonite hard suitcase on fleabay, you could fit some foam inside to incase it ever gets dropped. or look for flight cases (aluminimum cases used by dj's and the like). they would be ideal.

  20. hearing of his death was the saddest day in my motorsport memory. the sport has lost of the reasons why it remains exciting to watch. poor rossi. he and marco were good friends and to contribute to his death is gonna haunt him. regardless of any "he died doing what he loved" or "we all know the risks" cliches. if rossi or edwards never took to the track again, i wouldnt blame them. RIP marco. you will be missed by millions.

  25. 10% of new bikers crash? thats high. i wonder what percentage of folks who pass their car test also crash within the first year? injury stats will be different tho, due to airbags etc. i say we should go with the self imposed restrictions. that way, gs500 riders wont buy firestorms etc
