Tango

I was working in a lab in the main hospital in Jersey......someone came in and said a plane had crashed into the WTC......The Internet then fell over, so news was a bit sketchy after that. I was staying in an hotel in St Helier that night and went to a pub for dinner and a beer. There was a TV on in the bar with news and live reports.....everyone in the bar was watching it in complete silence......

Tappets are not difficult to do.......but you need a Haynes manual......and some feeler gauges. ......

Spanner is your man for this.......If he doesn't come along soon send him a PM.......

Oh.....I forgot........angle grinder......absolutely essential. ....

Dunno if they've got any left, but the Tempest jacket on the Triumph outlet site looks a good bet for £50...... http://www.triumphfactoryoutlet.com/jackets.html?p=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Or look for some secondhand Rukka stuff....... Dunno how good these boots are. ......but they're Goretex....... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dainese-Fulcrum-C2-Motorbike-Motorcycle-Touring-Goretex-Waterproof-Mens-Boots-/291737585275?var=&hash=item43ecea467b:m:mx6hGjjehdnAIvcUa0GGybQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Dunno about the network Joe......I'll see who has the best deals..... My mobile is with EE....so I'll see if they'll do me a deal on a PAYG sim.

£21......plus SIM......I think I'll pull the trigger on one and see how it goes......

Was intending to buy one to see what they are like. Ive bought a few Gps trackers and most have been good. If these can relay vehicle data in real-time, that would be cool. OBD2 port doesn't switch off with ignition so just be careful you don't drain your battery! Yeah....says 22mA current draw on 12v......but the bike is on an optimate in the garage when it's not being used, Joe. I think it just gets its power from the OBD2 port.....so, no real time data from the ECU.......although there is an OBD2 bluetooth transmitter available for that......

Has anyone come across these before?....... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OBD2-Car-GPS-GPRS-RealTime-Tracker-Vehicle-Spy-Personal-Tracking-Device-Locator-/231971192452?hash=item36028f7e84:g:VEQAAOSwqBJXVosq" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Thoughts?

Has it not got a centre stand? Dunno if ABBA do one for the Virago......may be worth investigating....... Would something like this work?..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorbike-Jack-Hydraulic-Lift-Harley-Davidson-Custom-Motorcycle-Paddock-Stand-/262375690485?hash=item3d16cf50f5:g:fyAAAOSwsN9XB3DM" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Shiny, shiny...... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIUMPH-STREET-TRIPLE-FRONT-BRAKE-CALIPERS-2007-2012-T2020375-T2020376-/252035519628?hash=item3aae7cd48c:g:wQIAAOSwMmBVsN03" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Looks like the same calipers that are used on the earlier Triumph Street Triple and the Honda CB750 F2N....... I bought 2 secondhand Street Triple calipers in excellent condition for £40.......

No.....I'm shifting my youngest to uni on 17th/18th.......so I can't do that weekend either, Ian......

It doesn't sound like valve clearances to me........probably blowing a bit where the header pipe goes into the cylinder head......may need reseating or just tightening.....

Looking pretty unlikely that I'll make it there tomorrow. May need to postpone it for a couple of weeks?

I can't do Sunday either, Ian.......but tomorrow is looking pretty dire.....don't mind a bit of rain, but the forecast is looking pretty wet......With intervals of deluge!......

See it every day.......and drivers on their mobiles......no one takes any notice of these laws now it seems!......

Halfords pro socket set, mate......especially when they're on offer....... Decent screwdrivers Torque wrench Spark plug socket or wrench Lots of patience!....... Beer......

Bad luck Beezy.......next one will do it.......

I'll tidy stuff up when I get home from work.....

Yeah. ...forecast looking pretty dire for Saturday......

I used to use Neatsfoot oil on my jacket years back.......got it from horsey shops......

Transporting the youngest lad to Uni that weekend I'm afraid, Ian.......

Sounds like it's coming together, mate.......post some pics up when you get it sorted.......

Have a look on The Bike Bay on Facebook. ......there's often bikes like this coming up on there......
