Elbow....Any Day Now........from the days before they were really famous..... ">

I count 37.....if everyone on the list is going to make it...... viewtopic.php?f=11&t=45500

AAaaarrrgghhhh........saw them back in the '80's.....the Ex was a bit of a fan.....but then went to see Iron Maiden a couple of weeks later......phew!!.....

Monday is the Southend Shakedown....from the Ace Cafe on the North Circular to Southend Seafront..... http://acecafeevents.com/southend.html There's a few of us hoping to get down to Southend....but as we're coming down from Cambridgeshire we'll go pretty much straight there.....

Well....it should get sorted then mate..... But on the subject of the fork oil......I've replaced the seals on the CG125 and previously on a Trophy 900.....and on both I filled them to the correct level according to the service manual....and on both I had to remove some oil because they were overfilled and the CG was absolutely solid.....so it depends where the garage got the info on the oil quantity from....but it may be wrong....

Pinnick Gales Pridgen....... ">

They may have too much oil in them. Had this on the CG125 after we replaced the fork seals.....filled the fork legs with the correct amount of oil and they were solid.....drained some of the oil off and they were fine......may take a bit of experimenting.....or just get the shop to do it.....

Yeah...that sounds pretty good Alan......weather permitting of course......

Nice one Derek.....congrats and good luck for the Mod2......

Are these new plugs or old ones? If they are old ones it could be that the central electrode has burnt down a bit.....effectively opening the gap......

I would have thought that the feeler guages would have 0.7 or 0.8 on them....but it's probably unlikely that you'll get feeler guages that are 7 or 8mm thick......so if they've only got 7 or 8 on them I'd say it's a fairly safe bet that they're the right ones......

Good luck mate....hope it all goes OK......

Looking at the forcast Terry I'll be suprised if we get out on the bikes before July....... Well.....if it's not snowing on the 2nd April we'll try to get to the Marina...... Are you staying over at the Thundersprint mate?.......camping?....lol

Sorry mate....we're coming from the opposite direction. Tiggie will be coming down from Bingley on his bike.....but that's not much help to you I don't think.....

There's also Run What Ya Brung meets regularly at the Pod.....if you just need shakedown runs..... Keep us posted about the Woodbridge meet also mate......

Paddy and Mick are chatting in the pub. Paddy says "Hey Mick, every time I see you you're with another beautiful woman......what's you secret?" Mick replies "When I go out on the pull I put a potatoe down my trousers. Works every time" "Great" says Paddy "I'll try that next time I'm out!" A week later Paddy & Mick meet up in the pub again. "How are you getting on with the women Paddy?" asks Mick. "Absolute disaster" replies Paddy "I tried your trick. All the men laughed at me and the women looked at me in disgust!" Mick looks at Paddy and says "Well.....next time Paddy you may want to try putting the potatoe down the FRONT of your trousers"

Hawkwind - Orgone Accumulator.......GREAT...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUV0zNWjq_E

He of Rocky Horror Show fame?.......

Back in the day I can't remember there being specific bike oils......it was Castrol GTX all the way.... Some guys used to put Castrol R in their bikes.....which used to smell nice.....but on a non-race bike it didn't do a lot of good.....particularly at lower temperatures..... So this specific bike oil thing hasn't been around that long I don't think.....although I do tend to use it myself these days......Motul 5100......just makes the gearbox on the trumpet a bit less clunky......

Any plans for runs at the Pod mate?

Quite a few make the journey on 125's Ricky.....not sure if anyone from your area though. Drinking on the campsite is obviously down to you.....but in the venue for the entertainment I guess usual rules apply.....but Rennie or Susieque will be able to answer more definitively.....

Ya Wuss......bit of mud don't hurt.....that what you got the bike for wasn't it?.....

Some car specific oils have additives in them that can cause clutch slip in the bike (if it has a wet clutch that is)......I think the Magnatec oil is one of those......but don't quote me.....

You could use chip oil in a CG and it wouldn't complain....

You may also find posting in the right place might help also...... Try pitstop......or Projects and Restorations...... And Ricky's suggestion is a good one too.....as you're more likely to get info that you need there......although it will be a single manufacturers machines that they'd be interested in....but worth a try anyway......
