  2. nah the veggies were fine, and prize winning roses as well.
  3. ok a sensible suggestion, we had this problem in our back yard, we got in touch with the nearest zoo (it works) and got some Big cat poop and spread it into the flower beds, the buggers never came back, the veggies grew realy well too.
  4. The 2000k mark all behaving wonderfully a full tank of just 11.4 liters or 2 and a half gallons will get you 221 miles before hitting the reserve the bike is now 6 months old and i have to say that apart from earlyer problems witch i have ironed out it is behaving like a dream, i have lowered the idol speed and tweeked the mix and there is now a very nice sounding engine according to some old school biker freinds who incidentley dragged me out of a ditch after i had been thrown out of home when i was 14, they also put me through school and college raised me basicly. the vixen and the CM 125 parts are bolt for bolt interchangeable and the CM 250 engine slots straight in. tarah till 3000k
  5. active on two wheels erm yup me and the mister
  6. ive seen sooo many young peoples lives ruined by unrealistic relationships that its time the younger generations grew up and the pc/nanny mob got hung. relationships should be banned until the age of 30, that way people have had time to grow within them selves.
  7. wanted one of these when they first came on the scene never got one though. thanks for the review xx
  8. tell her she should grow the f up leave her a sharp knife and go out on the town on a binge drinking session when you come home if she aint killed her self throw the lieing bitch out. sorry but i work in a drag bar and tell it straight. ditch the bitch before your life ends.
  9. true enough, but ive never used it anyway, but yes be carefull to remember your side stand check befor starting off. thanks for the reminder big guy
  10. im 43, so if duel cway has barriers 70 no barriers 60 was when i did me car test back in the early 90s
  11. Your engines cutting out at odd times and is a bugger to start. oh woe is me fear not here is one of the solutions that works for me. 1 find the side stand switch and trace the wire under the engine. 2 cut the cable tie 3 pull out the plug and inspect the terminals. mine were grotty and coroaded. 4 cut the wires at the switch end off and discard the wire. 5 locate the other end of the socket the wire goes up the back of the engine and pull up behind the engine. 6 find the two wires that are the same in the socket mine were yellow with a red stripe, join them together some how, i pulled them out cut the connecting tabs off and spliced them together. 7 insulting tape to temperarily cover them, try to start the beast, bingo. 8 vasaline or other petrolium jelly in to the conector in large quantities. 9 plastic bag and large amounts of insulting tape so no damp water or other muck can get in. 10 cable tie the wire to the frame behind the air filter and Bobs your elderly relative. working bike. settings for carb mix screw (float bowl in the middle bugger to get to) 2 and a half turns out should be reving at 1200 to 1500 hope this is usefull to some others.
  12. ok just a quickie update one of the two problems with this bike is the starting and keep it started issue, this can be rectified quite easily by removing or relocating of the side stand cut out switch just about to do that now, for other stories about this bike go to the bike in a box blog. http://bikeinabox.blogspot.com/2009/03/ ... it-on.html im sure this guy has lost it but it makes an interesting read. see you at the 2000k mark.. love to all.
  13. people like him cost my other half his career on the then British rail, the driver will be breathalised and drug tested and then suspended pending investigation and to top it off haf to go through 18 months of counseling because they (him/her the driver ) will be scared to death because of the nightmares and probably loose the job. sorry if i rant on but my mr had two suicides whilst driving for br and that was umpteen years ago he still wakes up screaming from the nightmares. i hope this vid gets to the police and the stupid xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx gets locked up. sorry once again for the rant and my bad spelling.
  14. ok ive been riding for years allthough not leagle went leagle and had a simular issue with l plates i solved the prob by getting an old roller paint tray and cut the size of the plate from the flat bit of the tray drilled holes and bingo one heck of a solid l plate, sorry bout the spellin my cat is sat on keyboard
  15. old bike or new bike? not familiar with new bikes. if old bike when you hit that button you say nothing happens, is there even a click from the starter or just silence if it gos click at the starter motor you may need to look at the soleniod if new bikes have such things.
  16. Mr Noggin you are not alone i wish my Mr would be caught and cautioned he says that the FZ600 has trouble at 30 so instead does stupid speed i tried to keep up but i cant go over 60 mph and i know he was doing over 80 i have a friend with a pan euro clock him, he won't be getting flowers or chockies.
  17. just got the bike back from its 1000 km service, i am truly concerned and if you think i am worrying over nothing read on. the guy who runs Northwest coast customs (the place i bought the bike from) has his young son working there. not usually a problem but after getting it back i have had no end of trouble starting and keeping started, so i went back to the shop and did what i aught to, i also asked what the factory setting was for the carb, the young lad (this is what concernes me) said that they usually just fiddle with it until it starts. I will be using some where else for future services. i did manage to sort out the starting problem, i cut off the silly chrome look plug cap and put on a NGK will update at 2000 km service time.
  18. I thought long and deep on this subject and everything i want to say would offend most people, so all i will say is that i would have to work 75.6 hours a week to make that much. i allready work from 9 til twelve 5 mornings a week and from 630 to 1215 5 nights a week, on the plus side we cant have kids anyway but we do have cats all of them nuetered and spayed.
  19. Update on approach to 1000K service. developments, skweek on front brake while not using it, the noise gos away when you very very gently apply the break. the lights on the erm dashboard (what else to call it?) go out unless you tap the light switch. ok top speed, just taken it for a realy good ride along one of Blackpools faster roads from bispham to fleetwood it has a few 60 limits along the way, it does reach 60 but the vibration is allmost as if the bike is trying to go slightly out of phaze, allthough on the return trip the vibration vanished. chrome, the chrome on the clutch and break handles is pealing quite badly, the rest of the bike has a few bits of discolouration but not bad the rubber bit off the kick, its come off, it was wet and cold and the battery was too flat to use the electric start so kick it i did, after three kicks the rubber bit came off, cant seem to get it back on again. fuel economy, flipping great, its now the 24th of jan 2012 and i last filled up 24th dec 2011 i used this bike every day regaurdless of weather to get to work and back twice a day(morning and night) 6 days a week, it has not let me down, yet.
  20. don't forget to check out what style, eg. cruiser racer or comuter. have fun and never loose hope.
  21. wii fit with balance board embarassed at how unfit i have become
  22. just when you thought you had enough of the crimbo excitement, along comes a brand new game just for bikers BIMBLETHWAP. the rules 1 don't actually do this i am reliably informed it could be classed as assult, although in reality it's a public service. 2 as you go along on your bike some twonker will bimble out infront of you, texting or doing somthing other than looking where they are going. this is where you want to reach out and thwap them. reach out with your imaginary hand and do this. well thats the rules have fun and a very happy crimbo to one and all. xxx
