Cheers everyone

where from? looked on ebay and its £90, plus I really need it on the road soon Try item number 111020297643, tell him its in bad condition and make an offer (Tell him you can buy a good one for £20). Once you win it, send it to Stu and tell him its your original and let Stu recondition it into a new one for you (It'll only cost you the postage!) Get it back, fix on to your bike and put your original caliper on ebay for £90, then treat Stu to a drink next time you see him

Alex, why go through all this when you can just buy a secondhand caliper for £20

First thing I'd check is the huge nut on the top of the yolk. Very easy to check and it cured a mysterious clunking on one of my bikes.

Just don't do what I did. I pulled over to get 10 minutes sleep and made the mistake of staying in the drivers seat. Next thing I know I'm dreaming I'm still driving and wake up with such a shock (i.e. shit myself!) Just not worth the heart attack!

Lol, I'm having such a mentally taxing day at work I read that as "straight jacket and shoes"! Good luck by the way

Whilst I don't agree with this story (I'm more of Tankbags view, Chinese System all the way!), if she is offered a £400k house to be built for her, surely she would be a looney not to accept. (I realise that at this moment she is considering not to accept it though, but thats due to all the press coverage)

Not sure if these companies are any good to you Aston Martin (http://www.astonmartin.com), Ariel (http://www.arielmotor.co.uk), Noble (http://www.noblecars.com), Rolls Royce (These take on lots of people!), Bentley, British Aerospace (BAE), Bombardier and not forgetting Leyland Trucks.

Are you sure its the UK Gov, or is it more likely to be because we are in the EU, and have to do as they say. I'm sure Theresa May has been trying to get rid of Abu Qatada but its those pesky europeans that are stopping us because he "might" get tortured.

Said they looked cr@p, which they did, I have never mentioned what the braking performance was like. Wasn't trying to be sarcy, its just you said you'd never compromise on performance, obviously you didn't mean that. All I was trying to do matty was give MrBarry some facts that nobody else mentioned, instead of the advice I was given, which was get racing disc's, they are the best. Same goes for pads too, some pads are great on a race bike when they are red hot all the time, but are rubbish when they are cold.

I've got a bluetooth helmet I wouldn't recommend (Duchinni D909), but when I come to replace it I'll definately be going for another bluetooth type helmet. The only reason I don't recommend it is the intercom is only really usefull upto 40mph, after that forget it.

You're comparing whats best for racing against whats best for the road, two different things, besides anybody that knows anything about racing would be using carbon discs. Your right, the second you use the brakes they do clean up, but they don't clean the orange rusty watermarks off the wheels. So which make of iron disc's do you have on yours?

Hard to tell from that picture but are you sure the picture's not upside down. Looks to me like you use the slots for the number plate.

I know, but on a road bike they look rubbish. Manufacturers have spent a lot of time getting the best combination for road bikes. Just thought I'd mention it because its something I never thought of when I bought mine, all you hear is people saying get iron discs, they're mile better (which they are for a racing bike) and they fail to mention they rust in 5-10 minutes of standing in the wet.

Put a cheap pair of discs on one of my old bikes, ten minutes after washing the bike I'd regretted getting them, rust started to form within 10 minutes making the bike look cr@p. The bike manufacturers put a lot of effort into making sure this doesn't happen, as opposed to racing manufacturers who do not see this as an issue. Stick with OEM

Now thats more like it.

I find it amusing but just like planking I can't help feeling I'm missing something Milking

Thanks for the comments guys, think I'll just advise him to accept their offer.

Thanks for the comments, but I think I need to give you all a little bit more info. The new rental agreement was made and signed two years ago, but they forgot to charge the tenant rent and because they had always taken it by direct debit (twice a year) the tenant never noticed he hadn't paid. The tenant has no problem with this and will pay the arrears. The problem is where the tenant comes home one night to find the lock has been changed. The council said they have changed the lock because they thought nobody was renting it (because no money has been collected) and have already re-rented out the garage, but have disposed of all the items in the garage. They have offered the tenant 50% of the cost of the items due to depreciation, but the tenant was honest about the cost and has already taken depreciation into account. Some of the items were also to do with how the tenant makes a living. Where does he stand?

Say if you rent a garage from the council and in the agreement it says "The tenant must use the garage only for the purpose of storing a motorised vehicle" and you then go and store a few other items in there. Can the council then enter the garage without your permission and dispose of those items? Other items include:- Car tyre Oil Car cleaning items Boots Cordless Drill Sander etc...... I would be very interested in all your opinions.

Your all party pooper's! P.S. Rennie, think you'll find halloween actually originated in Ireland from the Samhain festival.

You know better than that Fozzie, best way to get low down grunt is just get a bigger capacity bike. You could spend thousands just to end up with a bike that'll only go as good as a 750, when you could just go out and buy a 1000cc that'll have miles more grunt and cost less.

Done all of them, and even hit the sheep!

If you think WD40 is good, then try Wurth Dry Chain Lube, it looks similar, applies just the same but with a better nozzle and doesn't make a mess of your back wheel like other chain lubes. Try ebay to find the best deal. I bet once you've tried it, you'll never use anything else.
