I'll be in Scotland.

I'll be around here until Monday if anybody fancies meeting up?

There's only one cider I like, that's incider!!! What?

If you wanna buy one Simon, do it. I'll stay well clear thanks.

Just because you're not paranoid, doesn't mean that THEY won't get you in the end.

Phew!!!

Are you talking about Jap, or Chinese bikes, drzhooner

Lots of cheap Japanese bikes out there, especially if you're not bothered about cosmetics.

In my humble opinion. I'm sure someone on here will disagree. I wont be giving any help or advice concerning these bikes, waste of time IMHO.

I left this morning. Near Harrogate now

I've said this many times. ON NO ACCOUNT BUY A CHINESE BIKE. You will regret it.

The oil cooled GSX1100F has more in common with GSXRs than air cooled GSX1100ET Bob. Lack of top end power points towards a main jet problem, a restriction in air or fuel flow or a power problem related to a throttle position sensor or ignition timing. Did you do anything to the bike immediately before the problem occurred?

I bought a new Honda ss50 in 1975. It had one free service and they couldn't even do that right. I bought a Haynes manual and some basic tools including a 3/8 socket set. I've learned by trial and many errors over the years, about 40 of them. Nowadays there's loads of videos on YouTube to teach you stuff and loads of courses. Buy a cheap Japanese bike, a Haynes manual, cheap tools from Aldi or Lidl or eBay and get stuck in. Don't grease your engine!!! Keep the bike clean and smear ACF50 over most of the bike, except brakes. I'd love to help you learn, I get a kick out of teaching what I know and keeping poor bikers out of the clutches of bike shops. Unfortunately, I'm heading north from Derbyshire tomoz on my UK tour and won't be near Walsall until end of September /October, but I'll gladly help you then.

Arrived at lunchtime. Met sue and Ian, then Throttled later. Food and beer are good, campsite is nice. If you can park your bike near your tent, you'll need a Puck for the sidestand.. Internet and phone signals are poor and intermittent. Wifi is selective, but free in the pub. I have loads of room in the van for shopping, but only two seats. I have loads of stuff, so if you need anything, just ask. If you need rescuing near the venue, just ask.

Bugger. I've just left Huntingdon

I will if enough interest. I did so in an earlier post, but most responders didn't take it seriously.

As I travel north from Derbyshire to Scotland and back south again on the west side of the country, I'm hoping to pick up some paid work. Ideally doing services, maintenance, modifications on motorbikes. I have most tools and if I need anything I'll buy it. I'm cheaper than anybody else and I will teach you to do your own maintenance as I work. Pm me for my mobile number and we'll chat about it?

I know. Especially you Bob xxx

I have a caravan, a cool box, a new 3 man tent, loads of camping and cooking gear, a minibus with a hydraulic lift and loads of tools.???

Have you got a spare outfit Gill? What???

I've missed you lot.

Too late mate. I'm in Grantham now.

Gods country is north of Watford Stu.

Update on my situation. House sold last Tuesday. Moved to my great mate Nigel Clark,s place in Hythe, Kent for 4 nights. Moved a load of stuff into and out of my garage in Hythe. Bought a caravan on Friday, went out for dinner with Nigel, said goodbye on Saturday, picked caravan up and headed North to gods country. Stayed at my great mate Alan Mellor s place near Huntingdon last night. A great barbecue by Alan and Sue, with Ian for company. Loads of beer and music at the pub and an early night. Brekky this morning, caravan hitched up and headed to a campsite near Rutland and Grantham. Did some shopping for gas and a TV and now sat watching Gp before dinner at the pub.

Grumpy old git wants a black xxxL, pleeeeeze.
