Will have to se what time i can get finished at work mark, if it looks good i'll ring you,never been there before.

If they the ones that fit into m8 allen head bolt got three with your name on them stan ,drop by and pick em up m8

you havent fitted ceramic discs by mistake have you m8 when you bled brakes did you push pistons right back into calipers first , you could try your mates discs if his are good and they are still shite on your bike this will rule them out pad pins clean not sticking i have a vacuum bleeder if you want to try that m8.

aye trebor when i was young free and single living at home,(bliss), after a night out got ouy of bed feeling a bit queesy knelt in front of bog to spew , me dad woke me up with a good clip as i had fell asleep on my knees forehead resting on floor wedged between wall and the bog. funny thing is i must have been there a good 6 hours but felt right as rain, figure that one out!!!

give me a rusty nail and i just can't stop hic!!

wondered why i did'nt see you there stan.

ok m8 if madwillie can't help you out give me a shout allthough he is a lot closer to you.

you've got no self control ya bum, never mind mate you'll get over it, missed a good day out today though, did the mag ride then went for a ride up kielder ,was great till we coming back rides round a not severe but blind corner and theres a f.......ng old biddie doing a three point turn in the middle of road i managed to stop first m8 behind stopped second m8 who was riding what we like to call the mothership bmw 1200 tourer just clipped the back of second m8's bike took off his mirror and some trim on his fairing ,but luckily managed to keep the bike up.f......ng old biddie just drove off without a word of apology or owt, shud have to resit test at 65 and every 5 years after that could have f......ng killed us all....rant over

did the mag ride from washington services on a1 today, really well supported completely filled car parks with bikes,trikes,scooters,even a group of lads covered in mud who had been greenlaning.must have been over 500 bikes,we were to ride north for 25 minutes then disperse. well we rode for nearly 1 hour eventually the police turned all the bikes off a1 at the turn off for blyth did cause some congestion but was constantly moving allbeit slowly seemed to go very well with no animosity from other motorists even got a few waves and toots of the horns.if this or more turned out around the rest of the country it must have been a lot of protesters. as for it achieving anything we will have to wait and see.

Thanks stan may take you up on that can you easily bend it by hand. did think about altering tank but i think it will look to bulky and i would still need to incorperate the ram air inlet. i am thinking of cutting off the thermostat/radiator filler crap off the other side, wich will mean changing radiator to one with it's own filler cap and fitting an inline temp sensor and just doing away with the thermostat as i can manage without it as it has a manual choke, what you reckon?.

cracking bike my mate had a lend of one, proper fast decent handling and sounded awsome with two stubbied cans, also seems to be quite a few aftermarket goodies about for them.

thanks lads, fr499y it has a few scuffs on it m8 and the mounting for the catch underneath has snapped of so i will be fixing it somehow! i'm painting it so was not to fussed , if it was as you want i wud swap no problem. i can paint yours if you want. after i finish sorting the arsend i need to make some kind of cowling to fill the gap between the frame and tank . this will have to incorperate an air duct for the ram air and to cover the thermastat housing on the opposite side of frame, have seen similar kind of thing on hayabusa streetfighter but can't seem to find a supplier. heres some pics of said gap this is one ugly front end without it;s clothes on. think i have my work cut out here

welcome must be great riding in summer gear all year.

have a good un m8 some great twisties up kielder ,just watch out for tractor crap on the roads it's that time of year. might have a ride up there sunday after mag ride/demo.
