TOG, Wegg, etc etc and bike repairs!

Posters such as these seem to be able to grasp how to sign cheques to
pay those enlisted to work on their various bikes, but dont really seem
to have much of clue if they have to get their own hands dirty (TOG
suggests cam chain must be split to remove cam from XS650, and Wegg
asserts that original Truimph Daytona had single carb
fitted..........lol).

Glad you are still interested enough in my threads to make
contributions to every one!

I wonder if the fuckwit-troll Ken knows anything about the Norton
Navigator

Mind you he's in my k/f so I am not likely to see any replies.

 

<AOL>

 

Wegg means he had to pay someone who knew how, to sort his brake
out..............lol

Interesting how one of you fuckwits come out with some utter bollocks,
and the rest of you follow him like the good little sheep you all seem
to be.................baaaaaaaaaaa

I'd love to ay that I had been out for a ride on one of my Classic bikes
today but I am not sure you would agree that the GS500 is even old
enough to be considered is a classic (although it will be one day) and I
haven't been out yet today either but I will tomorrow.

I started my Bloo GS today and ran it for a bit while I made a cup of
tea, just to scatter the more mobile wildlife that have made it their
home really.

Mine sort of started and sat there chugging more or less happily to
itself for a minute or two so I turned it off and walked away. Quit
when you are ahead, a good motto that one.

 

I've been cleaning up the CD250 and CB500 I'm sticking on Fleabay....

 

Tomorrow I shall be doing some general fettling on the Tiger.

 

I am just off to ablutions too, I are being Anne's birthday today and
we're out for a meal later.

 

I was looking at the new (or current) model Tiger in Carl Rosner's
today.

Only 7k new, with all the luggage and everything.....

3k offer on the Trophy. Bloody tempting.

 

Pass on greetings to the lad for me.

 

True, but also depressing should I ever have the urge for a new bike.
The s/h value of mine will be so small.

and then I thought....

It goes against everything that I stand for to run a bike engine and not
have the wheels turn, so I was forced to take it shopping.

Amazing innit, it is over 50 miles going to Tescos but less than coming
10 back. I can't work it out, it should have been nearer 80.

It is only right and proper.


I am tempted to offer a reward, something on the lines of "the Right and
Proper Way for a Motorcyclist to Behave" but I am not the KotL so I
won't.

Absolutely no. Good Gosh!

Such high honour would be reserved exclusively for 'Motorcyclists'.

 

ISTR in Wales, once, on holiday, with my friend Niall, going 80 miles
for a loaf of bread....

I opened the garage and had a smoke while pondering how lucky I was to
own two lovely driveway ornaments. Then I looked at the sky and thought
that it might rain next week, so I threw all thoughts of viewing them in
the sunshine on the driveway out of my head. I then got in my car and
went to see my mum and regaled her with stories about how wonderful it
is to be a biker.

I went all the way from Bedford to Newcastle just for a shag, on a
number of occasions.

When I was 15 I rode my bicyle from Bedford to Leicester for a shag with
my then girlfriend, who'd moved from our village to up there. I got to
her house and almost instantly fell asleep until her parents came home
about 15 hours later. I woke up and realised it was time to start
heading home again, so jumped on my bike and left.

 

I used to go from Brighton to Oxford, on my YB100, for similar
porpoises.
