to the forum mushroom

Was suppose to be working Mon but might not be req. now so will keep an eye on this, if nothing develops could pop up and say hi anyway if that's ok Dick? depending on weather of course!!

  Hope your having a great day mate!

      HAPPY BIRTHDAY DICK

We gonna do a dry run again Mark? maybe a bit to far this one......
Thanks for sorting a great place to stay again! can't wait!

Give her our best and hope she is back to full health soon

well done on passing! we will have to organise a trip up to Hartside then maybe round the lakes, when I eventually get mine tested

Stunning looking bike Mike, cant wait to see it in the flesh........now get your avatar sorted mate! " headlights illuminate well", now that's where the Bandit scores a big fat zilch so if we are caught out in the dark you will know why I'm following mate!

Got a few rolls of bubble wrap you can have Mike!! Nice buy Mark!

Very close one Chad, glad your ok though! a couple of years ago a mate had exactly the same scenario but was knocked into the central res on the A1 he was in a coma for 6 months and crushed and nearly severed both his legs not nice......so looks like you have a guardian Angel mate. Gotta say though by the sound of it the 4x4 driver did it maliciously, proper knob!

Look nice Chad......weather is suppose to be nice tday so hopefully wont have to test how waterproof they are!

Them crumple zones look to have done their job!
glad your both apparently unharmed!

That's a shame Stan, the first day on something new is always the hardest but you know your own mind!

Turn a negative into a positive Dave If you get to do the course there is bound to be a few bikers there, do a spot of forum recruiting Even better tell us when it is and we will all come and support you! Thing is we all speed, its inappropriate speeding that's the problem. I have been caught by a camera in Scotland 34 in a 30, 3 points and £60 (a bit ago) and let off by a traffic officer when I wouldn't have let me off! swings and roundabouts!

Hope you didn't get too sick on jelly and cakes Chad, Happy birthday mate!
Happy Birthday Chad!

I agree with Ian regarding the clutch unless its slipping! tend to think its fuel or vacuum related,
what about tank breather? if you open the fuel filler cap there is a drain hole and this can get blocked causing a vacuum in the tank stopping fuel flow, a length of wire pushed through till it emerges out the bottom would eliminate this.
how much throttle free play is there if excessive could produce these conditions.
fuel line trapped or kinked?

regarding the judder, is the cush-drive worn in the rear sprocket?
just a couple of simple things to check oblanga intermittent faults are a bugger to pin down

Good to catch up again Dick! and its what friends do mate!

Ian, we were paid in free range local eggs in the form of a butty! .....yum! yum!

Tell you what Stan, he'd be perfect!

Hi Lonewolf you joined then! really good bunch on here and hopefully some good rideouts when it warms up! as said good luck with the test, I'm sure you'll breeze it. There is an active membership on Facebook (don't tell Ian (Madcarper) cos he doesn't know) if you do social media. keep a lookout in the rideout section and hope to see you soon either bike or train lol!
