even if Nogbad can't

But why not? Seems like a pretty Scura sort of thing to do!

Ahhhh! No wonder I can never find my keys with all those red and orange tags on them! If I paint 'em black I'll never lose them again? a Scurahero:

I think so too, so I keep it upright rather than do a sidestand adjustment. Put I just hold the bike up straight while I do it – nothing elaborate, no contortions from the saddle etc. Keep it simple and it's a straightforward job.

How did you know that??????

Hey now, we could stage a re-enactment at the Erin next year --- or even do it for real

Where the spring hooks over the plate is quite a rough finish, which may hasten the demise of the spring. The indent is where the spring hook has gouged into the steel. It's worth cleaning-up. I also re-profiled the area, but that was mostly because I re-used the broken spring, which was then shorter.

Well done. That didn't last long. I suspected that asking about a v-twin shaftie on here maybe wasn't exotic enough.

Very admirable DL. Great commitment. It looks a bit dangerous though (have you even painted over your lights and mirrors?) so I would advise wearing a high visibility vest when you're not riding in the forest. Edit: can't believe I said that: you would look silly then!

They were already offering a good price. You must have got yours a couple of years earlier (did you get it new?) – I don't know what their 'bargain prices' were like then.

This may be far too easy for this particular Forum, so I'll start with a poor quality picture. What's the bike and what was in the banana-shaped box?

I heard that he's already asked Santa for some of that Tenni make-up/face paint and a big bottle of Hugo Boss perfume.

Could be, I've a feeling there was another word I was searching for... ...though if we're talking John O'Sullivan, just animal would do.

no delusion – it's a fact

From the look on their faces, I think that they have tried to use the deputy PM, John 'Two Jags' Prescott _________________________________and he seems to be stuck. Probably took a few pies in with him.

You'd be best looking for one before you get here. Though if you want to pay an absolutely ridiculous price, there is a 'new' greenie here that has never shifted.

That has a familiar ring to it

Of course! That's the way to do it. I definetly was enfeebled in the central processing unit. I guess that's what Ratchet and DL meant too Nobody. I never used the fast idle anyway. But, when it can be done, might as well do it. Now you're making me doubt my use of TIME precious TIME last Sunday. Somehow, this all came about because I decided to change tyres. Hope I can get the wheels back on again

Yes thanks, I know and that's what I tried. The spring was too tight to turn around the angular cable end with any sort of ease. Looking at the photographs it's hard to believe: it looks like it should be easy to turn off, I just know it didn't want to go. I suppose I could have been enfeebled by some nearby green kryptonite, or a passing Tenni. ________________________ EDIT

Gave it a try: "Apple Macintosh computers are not supported at this time (but we are working on it)."

Crikey, Nogbad lives in 'Verenigd Koninkrijk'!? Sounds about right actually. I expect he'll be lusting after a Norge fairly soon, to ride around the Northlands.

That could be why the springs and clutches explode on these bikes – the machine acts in some sort of sympathetic resonance to the electric turmoil of the highly strung rider. Have you ever met John O'Sullivan?

Taking the seat latch spring off was not easy. On my cable, it had to be worked off the cable end bit by bit in a very fiddly fashion. I considered filing the cable end down a bit, but just gave-up a third of the way off, as I think that the spring is ok for the latch mechanism anyway (the more important thing there is getting the adjustments right – cable length and mechanism locking position). It was simpler to just put a new spring on the idle mech and get something that was a good balance for it.
