There's a programme on each night 'til the weekend's big race. I'll see if I can get them taped.

Did you turn over to UTV, if you can get it? Good programme on "one of the most spectacular races in the world", 11.30 - 12.00. Enjoy the scenery at 200mph

NW 200 programme is on UTV at 11.30 – it should be good. I was repairing my broken spring last year while listening on the radio to 200 mph being broken on the country roads.

11.05 – time for a programme on the Tandragee 100 and then one on doing the NW 200 so go tweak your BBC NI arial, BJ

There are many planets. Why limit your horizons in this way?

Are you talking to Dan Gallapoo, Dayton, Ohio? I don't think that he actually visits this place. Tucker probably told him not to chance it.

I've just got the bke together again, with new (slightly shortened!) Stucchi and the MG Ti cans. The sound is a LOT different and I consider it quite loud. I thought people were saying that the MG Ti cans weren't really much louder than stock? I guess they're not so loud with the stock x-over, but with the big open Stucchi (and half-lidless airbox K&N) the sound really thumps. BTW I have the silencer straps 4 inches along the can and the set-up is quite solid like that, not wobbly as was reported a short while ago. I guess the wobbly silencers have the bands fitted closer to the front of the cans?

No gasket glue. You could give it a thin wipe of oil if you want to put something on it. Put copper anti-sieze on the bolts when putting them back (some others use loctite) – this will probably mess-up torque wrench accuracy anyway. Just do it by feel with an allen key, or do it carefully, with feel, if using a long-handled ratchet.

Antonio just look at the pictures instead. BTW, I have told you once......................... you don't forget what the substance is, you forget because of the substance. Put it out! PS I promise not to make any long topic again

Take it apart, clean it, grease it and see how that goes. It could be stuck with old dried up dirt/grease. That's been the case on other starters/solenoids that I've had to fix. I think it's a good idea to clean and grease the internals anyway, as it all seems to come pretty dry from the factory. My starter started screeching at only 2,000 miles, but it's been fine ever since giving it some TLC – like it should have had at the factory. If your solenoid is working, but "not working properly" then there's a good chance that it's just sticky and can be easily fixed. How old, how many miles has the bike done?

Ah, so your secret's out! That's what you make yer ointment from. Does wonders for the 'tache, I'm sure.

GO Yamaha Edwards, Rossi out in front. Will it stick? Gibernau flying fastest from behind. As I type, Gibernau passes Rossi. What a stunning sport! There's nothing to touch it on tv. Must be pretty good in real life?

you cheeky mo.. boy! This ain't no trike! This rig's got a single-sided swingarm and ever-so-slightly offset rear wheel.

I agree about the problems: it's just a thought, if there is no other way to fix it, as I had a car drive shaft welded once (close to splines/u.j.).

Hmm, I'm going to have to reply in a number of separate posts as I have received the following messgae: "THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUND You have posted a message with more emoticons that this board allows. Please reduce the number of emoticons you've added to the message" Can you really have too many emoticons? Englbert

They speak Latin in Italy? That's news to me – They did at the time when the plans for the V.11 lump were being drawn up. No wonder no one there knew what I was babbling about in "Italian" – I've got more news for you... it's not only them 'there' Were you enthusing about tank suck and double return vortex valves?

Is there any chance of trying to weld this? There's nothing to lose
