Ok as it says on the front of “The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, Don’t Panic”. First of all get a nice cup of Tea, Coffee will do. If your plugs are wet you have fuel but little or no spark. First take the tank off. Next take all the plugs out. Next crank the bike over for about 20 seconds with a rag over the plug holes “don’t smoke or leave the plugs on the top of the engine in the HT Leads”!!!! Next give the plugs a good clean with a wire brush “if you have feeler gages check the gap” Next put each plug back into the right HT Lead and check you have a good spark! If you do put the plugs back in and put the tank back on try and start the bike up. Ok did it start? E.Goldsten “They are watching you” -

Just got back home to find a letter from BMW stating “BMW Motorrad Continually monitors product quality” and my K1200s needs another new “relay lever on the rear sprung strut” that’s the bit that holds the suspension unit to the swing arm. I have called Pidcock’s over in Nottingham “yes pop over next time you’re passing no rush”, Ok I’ll see you when the snow’s gone then Happy Christmas and New Year. E.Goldstein "They are watching you"

New Years resolutions. 1. Have more fun! 2. Have more BBQ’s 3. Get out on the bike more “only did 7000 miles last year 3500 to Malaga and back and Scotland and back just not enough”. 4. Get a new job “not looking good at the moment!” 5. Meet up with some of you’z lot in the Midlands 6. Look for a Triumph Bonneville “one of the newer ones, second hand” 7. Sell all the bits off the old Honda CBR600F, “it’s cluttering up the workshop” I think that will just about do it! E.goldstein "They are watching you"

“As a I have HD 3D eyes” yep well sort of why do I need HD for You Tube as yet done not except HD and lets face it it's an onboard Video cam is something I'll be updating in 12 months anyway. I did look at the HD 3d Cam’s but as I’ll only be doing the odd and I mean odd video from the bike I just could not see the cost benefit maybe next time. Going to put it on the push bike to test it this week on the mile I do to work Brrrr! E.goldstein "They are watching you" -
Well my new Tachyon XC micro camera arrived in the post today, I ordered it at the NEC bike show a few weeks ago. It’s shockproof and waterproof looks cool works just like it should, press one button it on, press the back of the one button and it’s off! "simples" So now all I have to do is let the snow to melt and I’ll be off out on the bike to get some video. Not only does it take up to 4 hours of video in VGA resolution “you-tube here I come” but you can put it into time laps photo mode as well, be good for the more arty shots. Off down to the workshop to start making a bracket to fit it to the bike in eager anticipation of the Sun coming out and the roads going from white to black E.goldstein "They are watching us"

Hi all I took this video about 8 years ago on my way up the Pyrénées on my Kawasaki ZRX1200s with the other half on the back. Since this video was taken I have swapped my ride for a BMW k1200s and my riding is some what smoother E.G: I hit more apexes. I do apologise a for the swearing sorry Mum!

Well thanks all for such a worm welcome. As least the snow is now melting here in Leicester so I have a fair chance of getting to the Bike show at the NEC on Sunday. As it’s the last day I may take advantage of any sales going on, top of the list tyres and wheel balancing kit. Emmanuel Goldstein "They are watching us!"

Well it just shows it pays to stick up a flyer at Hein Hericke, nice one Hutch. This could be the worst time of the year to join a motorcycle group however; as we on-line so to speak, I can sit next to the radiator with my laptop it’s not so bad. All I need to keep the insanity at bay over the long winter months, is keep thinking of the time spent riding the bike over the summer months and watching reruns of BSB, WSB and Moto GP and my sanity should be safe for now.
