Maybe not pretty, however it has worked fine since reassembling and tieing it up – two years ago. Seems like your problem is at the gearbox end and surely must have been caused by the mech. working apart, but it's got to be worth checking the drives at both ends of the cable, and the cable itself, and then putting it back together carefully again (especially the worm gear). I'm sure you did it carefully first time, but something is obviously wrong. Hope it hasn't been chewed up or something dropped into the box. some more pics

Don't the later cables break at the bend? They have a bend instead of the angle drive?

Nakedrider! Please include Erin in the 6 days that you are wearing clothes. The French will be much more sympathetic to your nudeyriding than we will.

Tennistis!

...except for Northern Ireland! Very poor road coverage here. I bet they don't have great coverage of your end of the island either, John?

Depending upon where it is, something else that you might try would be to take a piece of rubber, off a fuel pipe, say, and clamp it over the puncture hole with a small jubilee clip.

It's been great this weekend. It must be a good omen for the weather next weekend. I had a lovely run around the fantastic north coast road on the LMlll and both the sky and the sea were blue, not grey or black! Scotland looked so close. Being at the other end of the island and closer to the sun, Inchyjiggley will be Saturday started with a drive in the motor that my brother has knocked together Scotland, not far away. This wasn't the closest part and here the view was a bit hazy.

If it was in UK, and if it's same tray as the Scura, I would buy it.

Well, we're back. Unleashing successfully prevented. Not so good news on JRT. He took a fancy to a cuckoo clock but was rebuffed. He's a broken man.

You mean inside the tank? The internal pipe is punctured, inside the tank – and so it leaks as you fill the tank? I didn't quite get what you were talking about, when you talked about prying the pipes off. I think that you mean the moulded pipe inside the tank. White / natuarl colour? It's an integral part of the tank mould and it doesn't come off. It's bad news if it's punctured, but not a disaster. If it were me, I would have a go at melting the plastic back together – if it's a small puncture. It'd try it carefully on a little bit first to see if it would work. There are epoxys that are meant to be suitable for fuel tanks, so one of those could be tried too, or as well as the melt, though I don't know how well it would adhere to that plastic (some form of nylon?). The fall-back would be to block-off the tube outlet, where it comes out the bottom of the tank. Then the puncture doesn't matter. Screw a suitable bolt into the outlet and seal it. You don't need that stuff that the American bikes come with, do you? The Euro bikes don't have anything at all connected to the outlet. As long as you have the other tube acting as an overflow drain, you should be ok.

Are you overfilling?

A problem with tyres! Have you worn those NEW tyres out already? Borrow Guzbun's spare wheels. Take Guzzbun's bike. Get Martin to carry you over. Fit Stradas, for goodness sakes. You know it makes sense. The is – this weekend anyway. Can't be bad next weekend: can it?

MB, Grider etc. TT preview on BBC1 NI just after midnight tonight. _________ Well it's over now. There were some cracker pictures. Roadracing camera work is getting better & better. There's a whole week of programmes next week.

Ok I admit it this my red one

Hey ~Van

Is there something still wrong with the assembly? Can you take it apart and check or is it now permanently glued? It is a bit of a dodgy device, but I found it to work ok after being tied together so that it wouldn't self-disintegrate again.

Please Martin. When you're a hole, stop digging.

I see that Tenni owners are being certified.

No more Mr Fatboy! You won't look the same on the Ducati in your sleveless vest and bandana.

Are you carrying all Guzzbuns goods and chattels then? Good man yourself.

It's not recommended. Not good for the machine's ECU brain.

There'll be plenty at the Erin. Bring a spanner. er, just officer

What other bikes have a big 'turbine fan' style end to a single left side exhaust can? I saw one today, between traffic, in a different lane and going in a different direction, so it was only a fleeting glimpse. The thing that caught my attention was the radially finned end of the can. It can't have been a red Griso, out on my road, in N.I. – surely not?
