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.

Tenni Gents examine the latest in pipe cleaning technology

The point is that you should be able to get the parts supplied (posted to you) under warranty from the dealer and then you can fit them or get them fitted.

Ah yes, the Tenni Gents. That's Ferg on the left? What date next year??????

we're particularly sensitive to careless spelling of Scura

Ahh – the exception that proves the rule but they're diesel bikes, right? Plus he needs to keep up momentum bashing through the kangaroo herds and over the koalas, not to mention overcoming the severe inertia of the weight of his wallet. After he buys the Griso he'll be able to use a lighter flywheel. I guess if I'd a California (or Ural combination) a heavy flywheel would be just the ticket.

– exactly. I'm going to leave them alone, but open and check for grease / water at next tyre change. There's probably no point in knocking bearings out of their seats at every tyre change, but looks like it might be worth making a fairly regular change (– every couple of tyre changes?).

But of course there is enough flywheel in the V.11 (Scura e.g.). No problem in getting off from standstill.

Big girls' blouses

They would be better calling it Noordkaap then. Norge is terrible. People don't know how to pronounce 'Guzzi' – so now they won't know how to pronounce both of the bike's names! Mind you, it looks more like an 'Elefantentreffen'.
