2013 forum camping/rideout weekend (CHAT)
Oldfart replied to Davehutch-hutchs's topic in Rideout's and Events
Wonder if we could keep this as a meeting location? There must be miles of roads in the area to use and ride round. I know it means we're always in one area, but it's fairly central for everyone to reach. Sounds good to me, but I'm biased!!!! -

Here's a quote from Carl Fogarty that'll get some of you going: "There is no such thing as a great rider before 1975. If people like Surtees were around today, at the age of 28, they'd just be another rider on the grid."

Top two rows please!!! Would take 'em all but at my age I'd need a rest between rows -
Stoner launches MotoGP attack on Rossi
Oldfart replied to madsod's topic in The Pub "Tinker and Budget"
I seem to remember that Stoner won his championships on a trellis framed Ducati. He had little success with the carbon one and then jumped ship to Honda. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!. Feel sorry for Crutchlow. Personally I think he would be better staying put for another season. Riding a 'junior team' Duke even if it is a supposedly 'factory bike' will give him little comfort. -
Well worth a look. How much would these bikes be worth today? -
Spot on! -

Splitting engine cases
Oldfart replied to fr499y's topic in Advice on Repairing and maintaining your bike
usually the crank and main bearing caps are retained in the upper half. the bottom casing does not normally clamp the crankshaft. So you wont disturb the crank or bearings. To split the cases dont use a screwdriver as you will damage the gasket face. Look for jacking holes (threaded holes with no bolts in them or cutouts so you can use a drift or soft mallet. Failing that a thin broad home made wedge. -
