    Listen to this hypocritical pile of shit saying someone else likes
    making noise when all TOG BUTT ever does in this newsgroup is to make
    useless, pointless, cacaphonous "noise" to cover the very obvious fact
    that he knows nothing about motorcycles and has a brain the size of a
    cracked walnut and who probably masturbates his 2" pencil dick while
    gazing at old photos of Ringo Starr.

    Lies and even more lies by TOG BUTT. Bill NEVER received any good
    answers or the ones to the questions he asked. He just got the usual
    smokesxcreen from TOG BUTT and his moronic backdoor buddies.
    They're a bad idea for you but what you think of the idea doesn't mean
    shit. My bike, my gearing, my sprocket and I'll do what I want with
    it. I realize that a pompous sack of shit like TOG cannot stand
    anyone having a divergent opinion from his own so he calls that person
    as going "postal" which is just a way to misdirect the attention away
    from his own sorry ineptitude and failure to deliver.
    That's a good one. That weenie sized brain of yours hasn't "thought"
    for so long it's no doubt in a state of total atrophy.
    Only your opinion, not a fact and besides, I never said I was going to
    put a second master link in the chain of the TW200. That adding of a
    chain section was long ago in an old Suzuki trail bike. More
    misdirection technique to avoid facing the spectre of TOG's own
    failure to provide rational and concrete information regarding a
    situation. He's totally out of the loop and has lost it all.
    until he actually gets and rides it in stock trim is the best option.
    And... he goes postal.

    Already having the bike or not is immaterial and strictly my
    business. My specific uses of the bike are not those of the original
    manufacturing specs and therefore it's none of TOG's or any of his
    cronies fucking business what I want to do with the bike. All they
    have to do is answer the SPECIFIC QUESTIONS I posed and guess what,
    NONE OF THEM have ever done that yet! HAHAHAHA They're losers all!
    The only thing funny are the little newsgroup lap doggies who let
    TOGGY lead them around on a leash and who, like the obedient
    sycophants they are, promise to suck master really good as long as
    they don't bite. LOL

    Don't you consider your comment an insult to 12-year-olds everywhere?
    Most kids that age have far more knowledge, linguistical acumen and
    common sense than has ever been demonstated by the reigning Clown of
    MC Groups, the ever weirder and defunct TOG, the laughingstock of
    every group he posts to.

    Okay, this totally silly exercise in dissing me regarding a chain I
    had on a 1968 Suzuki Trail 80 appears to be what some of the "old-
    timers" in this newsgroup live for---pissing all over a newbie instead
    of being helpful. So I'll take a stab here of trying to remove all of
    the ammunitioin from the NG dickheads once and for all.

    First of all, I owned that 1968 Suzuki Trail 80 a LONG time ago and I
    cannot say for certain EXACTLY how I lengthened the chain when I
    wanted to hang it over the larger of the dual sprockets on the rear
    wheel. But I've done a little googling and think I finally found a
    photo of what I used way back then to lengthen that chain.

    I'm fairly certain it was what is called a split link with a spring
    clip. If I remember correctly, I separated the chain, added an extra
    length and reconnected the whole thing together with this split link
    and the spring clip on it. That's the only timwe in my life I ever
    messed with a chain on a motorcycle except to lube and clean it (on my
    1979 Honda CB125S that I wish I'd never sold).

    There, now perhaps all the pompous goofballs who live to be assholes
    toward new posters can find somthing else to amuse their tiny brains.
    As far as I'm concerned the GREAT CHAIN LINK MYSTERY IS OVER!

    TOG, if you feel the need to pop up ignorantly with yet another
    wiseass socially degenerate and totally flippant comment, be my guest;
    however you WILL be shooting blanks. HAHAHAHAHA

    You *almost* had me correcting you. :)

  8. Really? In the US? I'm surprised. I had a virtually as-new 1973 one
    (two-tone red and white, with a red frame) a couple of years ago.

    This one:

    http://www.chateau.murray.dsl.pipex.com/CB125.1.jpg

    and

    http://www.chateau.murray.dsl.pipex.com/CB125.2.jpg

    I paid £700 (about US$1300) for it. Ran it for a year, and then sold it
    for £700. The guy who bought it ran it for a year, and then sold it for
    £700.... As far as I can guess, assuming it's still in the same
    condition, it's probably still worth £700.
    Exactly. There's no mystery to it. If you add an extra length of chain
    to an existing chain, you *have* to have two links.

    Oh dear, oh dear. Time to trot out the basic ASCII again, because he's
    either too thick to understand it or (as you suspect) is trying to avoid
    looking an idiot.

    This is a length of chain, and X marks the master (spring, or soft) link
    used to join the two ends, named (a) and (b).

    (a) --------------------X (b)

    This is a 'small length' of extra chain

    -----

    Now, let's join the two lengths together. For this, we need a master
    link, shown below in the middle of the lengthened chain.

    (a) --------------------X----- (b)

    Now, to rejoin lengths (a) and (b), we need another master (spring or
    soft) link.

    Yes, Geyser, there was a mystery as far as I was concerned and you
    see, the world is not always about you and TOG and the others pompous
    assholes in the group so therefore if it was a mystery to me how I
    accomplished the changeover, guess what Geyser, IT WAS A FUCKING
    MYSTERY you total goofball.

    And I did nothing of the sort Geyser as you have inferred. I didn't
    "gloss over" anything. I DIDN'T KNOW it was called a master link and
    was only trying to describe how I changed from a street sprocket to a
    trail sprocket. Once again,
    just like many of the other pompous bastard-heads in this group, you
    are denigrating a new poster who doesn't know a lot of the terminology
    and is simply asking for assistance. Geez, you fuckers would make
    lousy teachers!

  11. Heh. He's frothing at the mouth again, isn't he? Still, as you say, now
    he's learned something, at least. Two master links in a chain is adumb
    idea.

    All we have to do now is make him realise that raising the gearing of
    his Noddy Bike by 20% won't make it perform any better, in any way.

    Hey spewer, I didn't give a shit what a master link was since that
    information was totally inapplicable to the TW200 since and sprocket
    and/or chain change work was going to be done by a motorcycle
    mechanic. What I asked were three questions that you and your dick-
    licking buddy TOGGY TURD NEVER DID ANSWER. All you could do was float
    your little master link scenario that didn't have shit to do with the
    OP. But at least it's been fun watching two ignorant shit-for-brains
    like you two stumble around and hide from answering my OP like the
    newsgroup cowards you are. You bastards are easy to figure out. You
    don't know anything so you spend your posts trying to draw attention
    away from that fact and piss on others. Just a couple of useless old
    losers who simply don't have it any more (if you ever did).
    How they look to an ignoramus know-nothjing like you Geyser is
    immaterial. They're advertised correctly as 80% on-road and 20% off-
    road. And I never said anything about any of my roads being sand.
    Learn to read you fucking moron.
    Maybe you should stick your tongue up TOGGY TURD's arse and have some
    lunch.

  16. OK, let me think this one out for a sec..

    Assme a rear sprocket has 20 teeth. So one complete revolution will
    take 20 links of chain.

    Now we add 2 teeth, so a complete revolution will take 22 links of
    chain, meaning the front has to spin more... Oh ****!

    Sorry about that, Bill. You will want to remove teeth from the rear.
    I would start by removing no more than 2 and seeing how the bike
    works.

  17. Yes. I was thinking about the change of the rear wheel speed
    when I should have been thinking about what the chain would be
    doing. How embarassing!

    Oh, now TOG TURD, the wannabe big newsgroup expert, thinks he knows
    more that the manufacturers of the Suzuki Model K15 Trail 80
    motorcycle. He thinks Suzuki did a really stupid thing by building a
    dual sport bike with a dual sprocket and tell the buyer in the owner's
    manual and brochures that changing from the smaller street sprocket to
    the larger trail sprocket was only a 5-minute job involving adding an
    extra length of chain to the existing one.

    So how about it Mr. Egotistical Know-It-All, are you now placing
    yourself above the manufacturers and insinuating that your o-p-i-n-i-o-
    n is now law for Suzuki and perhaps Honda and Yamaha to follow in case
    they ever were to disagree with the BIG TOG TURD?

    YES, JUST LIKE SUZUKI, THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TRAIL 80 DUAL SPORT

    QUESTIONS DIPSHIT TOG?
