Voodoo

Have used a £3 lid in the past, back when I was 16

Was your helmet £5 from a car boot sale voodoo? Lol, what I'm saying is sometimes a £5 helmet is safer than a £300 one. I think he's doing well and using his intiative to get himself on the road. I'm sure if he had loads of money he'd go out and buy an expensive helmet. If he rides safely and can work out exactly where the dangers are on the road then that'll be worth a lot more than any protection a helmet can offer.

Whats more dangerous, sliding down the road head first in a £5 full face helmet or sliding down the road head first in a £300 open faced helmet? Also is it more dangerous riding along in a £5 helmet that allows you to turn your head right round so you can see behind you, or in a £300 helmet that has such a large chin piece that you can not physically turn your head far enough round to see behind you?

My old CBR600 used to do that, you couldn't restart it for about 5 minutes if it was hot. I never did find out what caused it though.

and replace the seat, ensuring it is clicked into place. NOTE: your helmet is secured by the strap so can be stolen by cutting the strap. best to use a small cable and lock.. if someone wants to cut my helmet to get it then let them, its bloody useless to anyone after that.....i doubt that would ever happen i tend to only use them where i stop and there are lots of bikes around anyway and i cant be arsed to carry it....MFN is one place Cutting the strap is very useful to a bike thief. He then has a helmet to ride off on your bike with!

Should be reading in the 70's, maybe there is an airlock where the sensor is!

Foz, if your bike is a 125 it could well have a split link, in which case you don't need a chain splitter. If its over 125, forget what i've just said

Thats made me feel better, mine was just under £400

Selling secondhand bikes theres always things that go wrong, and try as he might not every bike can be perfect before it gets sold. I always think its the way they sort out any problem that counts, and I've always been more than impressed with that bike shop.

I had a bike that had the same problem. To fix it I drilled a small hole smack bang in the middle of where the teeth should grip each other and inserted a small dowel (i.e a nail). Then when I tightened the nut it was ok

Was that the race where Haslam had a wildcard ride on a Norton rotary like he raced in the BSB but they'd made it 500cc?

I remember watchin that, he was probably my all time favourite racer

Maybe the batteries on its last legs

I've got some funny stories about Will, but I think I'd get banned if I put them on TMBF

I've bought most of my bikes from Bob at Ace, know him 20 odd years now. You should take it back, to see what he says. He's always been superb when I've had a problem with a bike. To get from Chester its really easy.

Whats the shop called?

It'll probably be tricky to fix, maybe easier buying a new one from a scrap yard (hopefully with less miles on )

You usually press the button to reset (yours might have broke) or sometimes you turn them.

I would have thought its a lot of mither, does it not have a trip guage, because thats how most of us tell if theres enough fuel left

Can't wait, haven't been for about 10 years!

Its a very close call between the two, but seen as Haga knows the tracks better, I'd have to put my money on him for winning.

You need a new cable, and the good news is, you'll find it incredibly easy to do. Obviously first you need to get the cable, so go down to your nearest bike shop to get one. Most shops carry a few different ones in, and usually have one that fits. Whilst your at the bike shop ask them for any tips on how to fit it, and I'll bet they'll probably do it for you, for free!
