  1. Yeah.....changing my job hasn't helped me with Tuesday nights either, Neil.........but hopefully things will settle down soon......
  2. Dangerous stuff, that WD40........
  3. Cheers Neil.......shame you couldn't make it to the rally this year mate........but we'll catch up down the White Swan at some point soon I hope......
  4. Yeah, we'll go cross country......unless the weather is sh*t.......then we'll go the quick/boring motorway route.....
  5. I'm afraid that I'm still feeling rough with a bug I picked up last week.......so I'm gonna hit the sack early tonight and hope I can shake it off before Friday..... Speaking of Friday, Ollie......when were you planning on heading over to Tewkesbury? I think we're planning on setting off late morning/lunchtime if you fancy riding over with us?
  6. No shortcuts mate.......125 until you're 19......then it's possible to do your A2.......

    Easy disc check?

    It should be ok for a short while.......but, yeah, you need to clean those bobbins out.......
  8. We'll be heading in to Tewkesbury from Chipping Campden way........which is probably the opposite direction that you'll be coming in from........but we could meet you on the Ledbury-Tewkesbury road at the turnoff to the pub and ride in with you from there if that's any good for you? Be great to see you again Priest.......been a few years mate....... Fancy dress pretty much finished off this afternoon......
  9. Welcome to TMBF mate........ Pop over to the relevant rideout section and put your request in there.......not everyone visits the Newbies section.......but you may find more people will see it in the rideout section........
  10. Could be a coil/ignitor stick on its way out......this often manifests itself at lower revs......

    CB500 problems

    Check the front brake lever mate.......make sure it's not binding.......could also be crappy pads not fitted correctly, so they're not sliding on the guide pins correctly........and, as mentioned above, if the caliper pistons were not cleaned before they were pushed back in for the new pads, they could be binding. Maybe you need to replace the reg/rec plug..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-5-WAY-R ... 43b0f9c202
  12. There's a couple of others whose names evade me at the moment......but they advertise in Back Street Heroes mag......

    Changing a chain

    £50 for a chain breaker?..........http://www.screwfix.com/p/energer-enb46 ... 240v/89057 Oh......and about a fiver for a pack of grinding disks........and the versatility to be able to hack lumps off frames, remove welded exhaust clamps, etc........
  14. Welcome to TMBF mate...... Edited your post to remove the phone number as it's not allowed for security reasons.......but have a read of the threads and posts in the cbt, test section and see if there's any recommended training schools in your area...... Good luck.
  15. You've gotta pay tax first, before you can get a refund, Fro.......
  16. Just got an email from HMRC saying that I'm due a refund........and follow the link to claim it. So.......the link looks kinda official......proper HMRC logo etc........and the form to claim the refund wants my full name, DoB, bank account number, sort code and telephone banking security code!! Yeah......right........and which tree do these t*ssers think I just fell out of....... Be warned folks........HMRC will NEVER inform you of a refund by email or text.......
  17. UK190 and RebelRach did one with Ron Haslam's riding school I think a couple of years back........memory is a bit fogged, but you could try to search it and see what comes up.......weren't cheap as far as I can recall......
  18. Have a ride round your local town and see what happens..... It doesn't take much 30mph or less riding before the fan on my Speedy kicks in....... My bike is EFI.......so all that stuff is controlled by the ECU.......dunno about the older Triumphs......
  19. I'd leave the throttle alone when starting it........cold or hot.........
  20. Hitting the rev limiter?
  21. Lightweight!.......
  22. Ban Horse riding too..... I am talking of course about horse riding or, as drugs expert Professor David Nutt memorably described it, ‘equine addiction syndrome’ or ‘equasy’. According to the BBC, horse riding kills at least 10 people per year in Britain, causes at least 100 traffic accidents per year (harming innocent people!) and is the cause of three per cent of all spinal injuries in the UK. It is 20 times more dangerous than riding a motorcycle. But, alas, Britain’s horse culture is here to stay. The horse lobby has many friends in Parliament. You might say ‘the neighs have it Taken from this article....... http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/ar ... XKv6EK3PMK I'd just like to point out that I'm not anti horse.........this is just to put a little perspective on the subject........food for thought......

    Brembos brakes

    Quite a few should fit.......worst case scenario is to get an adaptor plate made if the replacement BMC don't fit.....
  24. Looking good Joe........what's next on the list?...... a nice set of OZ wheels......
