frankfurt challenge redux

You're a lovely feller.

I might use that some time.....

 

Best Western looks OK.

Anyway, I've just "endurance tested" the CD - 80 mile round trip to
your place/leisure centre - absoluetly faultless performance.

Sounds like a series Land-Rover he was describing.

S'wat I thought. But it's close to the red light district.

It is indeed! Which reminds me to ask. With it's MOT is it legal to
separate the combo and ride the bike, assuming you fix a signal light
to the left hand side?

Good call!

It would be intersting - the frame usually takes a bit of a 'set' with a
chair fitted and can make for intersting handling when it's removed...

 

Good-oh. I'm pretty sure that mine will be okay. The clutch is
slipping a bit though - what causes that? Should I get it sorted before
the run?

 

Fucked clutch plates, knackered springs, engine producing too much power[1]

Yep.

[1] Yea right

 

mine does too, if you let the clutch out too slowly - it never slips
when you haven't been near the clutch i.e. just under acceleration.

depends on how bad it is.

 

Overtight cable?

From experience:

sticky slave cylinder; notched lifter mechanism; dirt in the fluid;
blocked return hole in reservoir; loose slave cylinder.

None of which are likely to apply to the Seedy.

 

On a Benly, it's more likely to be a knackered (ie: sticking) cable or
badly adjusted clutch.

 

I *think* so but wibbleflip.

 

Die Toten Hosen? KMFDM? Rammstein? Helloween?

 

bizarrely, for a list of bands from *you*, I actually have a recording
by one of the above artists...

Well it didn't make much of a difference when I tried it, but then the
Jawa doesn't really come with great handling anyway. Next spring I will
give it a good overhaul. Found a place I can get the frame coated and
am thinking of a new colour too.

"Sprechen Sie deutsch?" May be the solution.

 

Feldgrau?

 

Three of those are practically chart music, ffs.

Not the Top 40 chart, mind.
