  1. All the above.


    Plus-have you got more confident, so you are now cornering harder without realising. Most bikes reach a point where it all loosens up a bit. Usually, just before you fall off. apart from my CX500 which was 5degrees from vertical.

  2. I had one of these, fantastic bikes!


    They have heating water running through the carbs, if there is a leak, that would make the spindle seize up. Best bet, get them off, soak them all in wd40 or similar, then strip them down and clean everything., DO NOT separate the carbs from each other, top and bottoms off, all the brass jets out, cleaned with carb cleaner and replaced, spray carb cleaner through the holes while they are out. Check float heights.


    Manual is golden.

  3. Adults game, frequented by kids, where they build all sorts of crazy shit out of cubes of god knows what.


    I once connected my son to an online game with 3 other kids. You should see the little buggers go. After 30 minutes they had a little city built.

     


    Corrected for you, don't worry about thanking me.


    It's basically lego in a VR world if you think about it.

  4. I bought one last year for a bit of spraying, very similar to the one on the screwfix link and I have never used it. Interested?

    Not at the moment, I figure this will be a post-Xmas splurge...unless Santa reckons I've been good. :angel12:


    But cheers :)

     


    Well, give me a shout, it's sitting in the shed.

  5. Hi peeps.


    Bit sad about it, but it's done a couple of hundred miles since last MOT as I am now racing dinghys 3 times a week so don't have time to ride. That's also why I am not around on here much, not much internet in the middle of the reservoir!


    I think I am ok putting an Ebay link to the ad with details?


    I have put it high with offers because you always get stupid offers on ebay, realistically I want 1500 for it. It's completely solid, everything needed has been done.

    Thanks

    Now sold thanks.

  6. This is a direct quoye from a friend of mine, I think he's spot on!


    'The EU is a long, long way from being perfect and we will get shafted either way. However, I honestly believe that we will get shafted harder and with less lube without it.'


    :D

  7. A few people have mentioned the Balkans as if they are a problem for people saying the European parliament has stopped war in Europe. Am I missing something? I was pretty sure Yugoslavia was not part of the European Union? Correct me if I am wrong.


    It's taken me ages to decide, but I have finally come down on the remain side for various reasons. I have problems with the way the EU parliament works, the bureoucracy, the ridiculous amounts of money it costs etc etc etc, but I think there are bigger things at stake. I can see the whole thing collapsing which would be pretty catastrophic. I am very worried by the right wing elements in countries like France that are on the verge of coming to power. There's loads of reasons, but I guess you know them. Sick of the politicians being full of crap on tv this whole debate is nothing to do with immigration, it is totally irrelevant to the referendum. It is about the fundamentals of democracy.

  8. I have tried various height screens on a few bikes, bubble screens etc. My own personal experience is they don't make any difference. At speed, unless you are directly behind a screen you won't feel any difference.


    On faired bikes, I have had bubble screens and found going back to a lower standard screen to give much less turbulence at speed. The big manufacturers spend millions on development in wind tunnels etc, and standard screens often work well. Some chinese company puts a bubble screen on the market and it can mess up the bikes handling.


    Just my own opinion but I have experienced this with various screens.The difference was night and day on my Fazer 1, it was horrible with a bubble.
