Looks like it. The wobbly bearing that I'm looking at is 'lubricated' by a black metallic paste. While I too could still be out riding and enjoying it, oblivious, this problem would just be getting worse and worse. There's no point in ignoring it. This was going bad from day one. Big J, I haven't started on the needle roller bearing yet. Is it straightforward to get out? Any hints? I'm stuck on the wheel hub bearing at the moment.

Thanks KB. I tried ringing but you're not there. Can someone tell me how to get the first bearing out? I have the inner ring out but can't shift the outer. I don't have a puller. I have tried heat and levering and hammering. Do I just need more brute force, or should it be cut, or what? Presumably the second is easier as it can be knocked out from behind.

A rear wheel bearing is wrecked (I guess it probably went in the first 1 or 2 thousand miles). It's the one on the bevel box side, not the brake side. I haven't removed the bearings yet. The spacer in the hub is loose between the two bearings. It feels like it's at least 1mm too short, but as the bearing is wrecked I can't really tell what the fit was like. There is a short spacer outside the bearing, about 12.5mm long. 1) Is it the long internal spacer that people have reported as being too short and so causing bearing failure? 2) In the manual diagram, it looks like the internal spacer is not just a simple tube, but it has flanges at the ends. Is that correct. Is the only easy fix to add a washer then? 3) Should the whole hub bearing assembly slide out of the hub? I can't make sense of what the manual says. It's very tight and certainly doesn't want to come out. Presumably people change the bearings with the hub assembly in place? 4) The needle roller bearing at the outside of the bevel box is well rusted. Why is there a drill hole in the bearing sleeve? Would it be good to fill in this hole and so maybe keep water out of the rollers?

No. Is that Sky, or where did you see it?

that finish

Oh no!!

Is anyone from U.K. direction considering going to this?

Don't you think that this is a ridiculous travesty? It makes no visual sense at all. The essence of MG is the shape of the motor that is in it. This is entering Michael Jackson territory.

Yeh, and Jap bikers are 100% rideable straight out of the box too, and are available at all nowadays garages everywhere, but you don't ride that stuff... so don't go messin with that .wav stuff either

Yes it's the Scura. Sorry Philbo – it's the crossover with no silencers (you didn't read the small print ). I think that the standard MG cans would kill it. When I get the MG Ti cans on I'll post the sound. The Stucchi went on without difficulty. I was prepared for a fight, as there have been reports about its bad fit. Disassemble everything and then put it all together in order: it goes on ok. The inlet pipes are a close fit to the sides of the engine block, but ok. The X-over is a heavy duty piece of metal, especially compared to the thin, light metal in the Ti kit. It looks so heavy that I was surprised to find that it's not heavier than the stock MG cross-over. Both are around 5lb, 2.3Kg, in fact the MG lump is a bit heavier. No P Commander yet. First I want to see how it goes with Guzzi's Ti cans and the ECU that they supply for them. I was very tempted by the Quat-D. In the end I went for the more expensive Guzzi Ti kit as it supposedly gives better performance over the whole range and it does come with the dedicated ECU, so it should all work as Guzzi intended . I still have a touch of envy seeing the Quat-D though. Sound Files? I didn't want to upload files to take up space on the site server when I could put in links. The system here only allows certain types of files and, I think, small files to be uploaded anyway???? However it would be the same problem: not everyone using the same format. QuickTime is a universal format, but what alternative would be useful? Jaap, if sound files can be uploaded (and I imagine that you don't want to encourage it and yes I really must make a donation now that I have PayPal working again) what is a reasonable file size and what formats are accepted?

Got a bit of time this afternoon to take stock exhaust system off. Stucchi cross over is now on, but no Ti cans yet. It sounds rather good with just the cross-over though. Stock exhaust sound Stucchi x-over sound put your headphones on

Yeah, my younger son was planning to go too (with friends). Obtaining tickets seems to be difficult though?? so that might knock it on the head for your daughter??? It now seems son probably won't be going as his friends are going to see U2 and they can't afford to pay £150!!! for a U2 ticket and go to Glastonbury as well. Maybe you could try that one – buy her a U2 ticket.

Yes. It's a Royal Decree, doesn't really matter what you think about the government in the UK. Re your interest in Honduras, this should get you started > (BTW, don't know about their Dental Strategy, but their Motorcycle Strategy is interesting. Their key decision was to outsource the manufacture of their national motorbikes to Japan. Turned out to be a very successful strategy and now their bikes are all over the place. You might have seen em on the road. They're called Hondas.)

You didn't mention the sidecar, otherwise I would give you a point.

I had a quick look back at the list on page 1. Venom, for one, did legal stuff when I was looking before: 'Venom road legal oval cans titanium £228.20'

The most recent number that I have seen is 51 built at the factory. At least one in Britain is ready for the road, registered and taxed, but the problem is, so far, he can't get insurance.

When you say the 'entire system', did you end up getting the headers as well? Your price is about £555, which is cheaper than the whole system in the U.K.

But that was just Jaap's Dutch Army nurse (male) period – remember? Things have moved on since then.

but I've always wondered, is this you? –>

He doesn't seem to have as much daring-do as the guy we looked at here a year ago. He was going at the same speed, but all through city traffic as far as I remember. This one is mostly on open road. The other movie isn't available any more. It might still be on another site (superbike site?). http://www.ircuser.org/files/madness.wmv http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2640&hl=

IT's SUMMERTIME. And not only that, it's BRITISH Summertime. The clocks went back last night. yawn. Whoops, they actually went forward.

more evidence as to why the buffalos in merika are so distressed. Can't you guys lay off these creatures? Just eat them and leave it at that. says me

you're looking, err, very well Martin, though you are looking rather 'peckish' after your trip away. Could you not pack enough food? Your bike must go very quack.
