Original clutch & brake levers are crazy high prices. I made the mistake of ordering a MG lever. I think Ducati are cheaper for the same part. Then there are other aftermarket suppliers.

More fooball matches against England could be useful. Baseball might be worth exploring, though I'm not sure if we play it the same way as the Yanks – although the sale of baseball bats here is phenomenal, there are no balls bought

Yeah, the picture from the paper is the doorstep at work. What tyres would you recommend for these road conditions? I'm not sure if I should plump for a hard compound to go over the stuff or, more likely, one capable of a sharp turn-around and speedy exit.

It could be your bloodshot eyes. Have you been travelling a lot recently?

btw – when I said we have plenty of ashes here at the moment, this is what I meant (in case you thought I meant something trivial...) tonight's paper oh well, it was One – Nil, as Jaap kindly added

This is the other end of th ebig hole in the tank top. You can see the threaded inserts where the pad screws into the tank.

Well the review (that Guy mentions) raved about the thing and it says there are no ground clearance issues, 'sporty, it sure is. Try as we might we couldn't find the limits of its ground clearance either.'

(& I'll e-mail, ta)

There's a big indentation in the top of the tank – I'll post a photo tomorrow if no-one else does first. The big problem with this part is the large hump that it makes in the middle of the top of the tank: a tank bag can't sit flat. I've used foam round the sides to raise the outside level when using a bag, but it's still not great. The screws just screw into the plastic tank as far as I remember. I'll check that.

One – Nil he hehe (p.s.: ashes – we've got loads of ashes just at the moment)

You and TX Redneck

Sorry on behalf of the deviant, Nogbad

I don't believe you

sorry

that's not a young man, they're all girls, clearly

'They' say it's possible with a right angled fitting on the end of a grease gun, but I've never seen one of those, although I've been looking out for one for ages. There are lots of write-ups on it. The fitting often seems to need ground down to fit. – Take the wheel off and then you can clean-up and grease everything in sight: it's not like it has to be done every month.

' it's not the answer to the question! Nevermind...' that ought to be the name of a Forum on here – can I be Administrator?

Gosh sounds like you're gonna become 'Bettermotogoozer' and not before time Thinking of joining the queue for the V-Rods?

I don't remember an Akrapovic thread, but at the time that I was looking/asking around about options, such an exotic company didn't do anything for such a humble bike as MG – and I dare say they never will.

I've put a breather pipe on mine, but still, I imagine that moisture is collected by being sucked in as the whole heap cools down. Surely that must be what happens with the standard breather, rather than all the water just splashing directly in through the vent? Is Redline meant to have properties to deal with this, for life? Unless all your journeys are long and you're sure that moisture is getting boiled and vented out again, I'd be inclined to change oil, even if at an extended interval. It could be just an unreasonable 'motorbike thing' though. I don't cosset cars so much. Nogbad can let us know how it goes after a good wet winter and DL can report back after he throws in a cupful of sand to soak-up/filter out the water.

There's nothing cool about Dell. Nothing.
