yes mate, although im probably going to end up joining north glouster since i know a couple in there already

What do the plugs look like? Do the plugs give a blue spar if you short them against the frame and turn the engine over? after turning over the engine with the plugs in, if it does not fire up, quickly pull the plugs and check to see if they are damp and covered in fuel? What does the air filter look like? can you see fuel passing through the newly installed in line filter? did the carbs actually get taken apart, all jets removed and all that jazz? im asuming you got the pilot settings back to normal (if they have them?) no vaccume leaks?

actually it depends, do you want to go fast or do you want to get your knee down, because the answer is different depending on that!

cool dude!

Im about to start racing the twins with NG, im interested to hear other riders experiences.

7 days a week!

one trick to make riding in wind easier is to get your chest down on the tank and keep low to the bike. as above, a light touch on the bars combined with this make things much eaiser

i dont on the road, theres sod all point. i would really really steer away from practicing on roundabouts and things, this is where overfilled lorrys tanks dump desiel, screw that. same with bus routes. Also roundabouts do sod all for corner practice since they pretty much do away with the most important parts of a corner on a bike - entry and exit! remember its not about lean angle, the more upright you keep the bike- the more available traction so you get to gun it even harder! if your keen for performance riding, get on the track its a no brainer, all you do is lean and stick your knee out...you do need to hang off the bike a little.

on some engines there is a bolt that goes through the side of the engine to stop the cam chain falling in there, either way make sure you cable tie it to the top of the motor so you dont drop it, its not as fun as fishing beleive me....i droped a piston circlip down in to the crack once, not fun!

course it can be welded. take the motor minus oil etc and have a welder fix it up, depending on the mount they can even make a new mount out of weld. it wont cost much but theres some work involved in getting the motor out and over to a welder.

i got some compzones, i must say they are bloody hot, too much at the track, but a great boot and really good protection, comfortable, theyre more like my snowboard boots than any other boot ive owned! gotta say i do like my old knackered Sidis for theyre being light, thin and really comfy when its just too hot. dont expect to get jeans over them or anything!! i dont think is wear them as an everyday boot by choice, i would look at some of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TCX-SS-SPORT- ... 588f2c5fe7 cuz when your feet are wet in winter it dont matter how much padding is in there it will get cold! also they take ages to dry out if you get the soaked! mate has the gortex version and they seem to let just as much water in!

ditto, this is my hood too!

im right next to bracknell, out everyday on the bike one way or the other but always up for a spin. hit me witha PM if your out

looks like you had the place to yourself!

bad news. the firm is not in great financial health, theyre going to need to make a few more keyboards to balance the books next year i shoud think!
