Very nice but does your Amp go all the way up to eleven? At work the hob in the kitchen does, it always brings me a smile. I'm really that sad bunny.

Jim. Third (or fourth on some) button up on the far left of your keyboard is "Caps Lock" give it a press Martin

Jim, you're cheating. Your shiny bike has the new engine paint so unless you dab it with Nitromors (proprietary brand of paint stripper in UK) it won't blister. I can't remember if your clutch is a twin or single plate.

Well over to Jason then. He has pods and he's a scientist specialising in very small things I couldn't think of anyone more suitably qualified.

Can't you fit one of each, and then we can measure the wear differences in each cylinder

Aren't our batteries sealed gel filled things? (I've never looked - well paid attention)

My I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer in the other thread

Okay, just to keep you happy. I'm the wrong side of the pond. I'm too fat now for my leathers - over here a requirement for track days. I'm too much of a tight wad and blow my Guzzi budget on trips and rallies. KB keeps suggesting that I do one - I corner like a Granny - but I'm basicly chicken. Good luck anyway.

Do you have to take them out of the bag?

Here's a link to my Shook Horror thread. I think we've knowledge of only 3 or four instances of failures, both top and bottom mount. No definate cause suspected manufacturing defect or damage probably not helped by dry assembly

I've seen the current ad else where. The "vintage" motorcycle element certainly caught my eye on first viewing. They do do brand placing very well.

Hope it all goes well for you and a speedy recovery. At least it's during the off season. Though yours is shorter than some. or so I gather from Bill

It's the Bimonthly Moto Guzzi Owners Club Great Britain magazine Gambalunga. 76 page glossy A4 sized magazine well worth the membership fee even before you consider the events etc.

Bob got it wrong this year on his first article on the 05 GMG I had a quick look at the TLM site and compared the GMG and one other event in September. The dates given on both accounts came out against an 06 calendar as Sat- Mon but against an 05 were Fri - Sun. Most events seem normally Fri evening to Sunday. To be fair having looked in the Grumblemonger, waiting for me at home. It does only say 16th?. So an educated guess would be for that weekend but not confirmed.

I think that possibly relates to this year 2005. in the heading text says 2004 and a dip sample of dates show fri/sat /sun for 05 and sat/sun/mon if put on 06

Are you saying there was no NOTAM issued, do you know when the first one was. I'll throw that into the incident debrief, We were speaking with West Drayton by 0630 re possiblity of a 9-11 type plane involvement, so I would have hoped that it would have been. Especially with Luton right on top of it and I know they were complaining about the overfly restrictions because of the Heathrow(mental block for correct name) Terminal control area (?)

There is quite a bit of latitude in where the bags fit on the rack. I put the stops on mine so that the pillion pegs could still be used (small feet) but you can't lower the pegs if the bags are fitted or did I adjust it back so the pegs could just be lowered. I've only ever had one pillion on it a lass from work one lunch time. So it's quite academic in my case. I might as well move them as far forward as they go.

He turned up, I showed him the broken shaft , he said that he'd have to order the parts. I wondered why I bothered explaining to the lady on the phone what was wrong and asking that they ensured the service chap had the parts. Good job i'd got a replacement anyway. I'm not sure about too much spare time. I got called in to work for the oil depot fire ( Best pictures on HertsPolice(TrafficNazi).com well it's our helicopter ) on Sunday my day off and again I'm going in on Friday. At least the overtime will pay for my tumble drier

I think if it's the side stand/neutral/clutch combination it doesn't spin over.

Just rung- eta 15mins

Well someone had to do it. And yes it's always me Here's mine through wine glasses. and through a single wine glass I didn't spend any time on composing the shot as I was worried the men in the white coats might find me.

I've had two fail the first (Canon A40) was beyond economic repair and I got my £40 repair/deposit back. The second (Canon A85) cost me the £70 repair/deposit but we bought a third (Canon A525) in the mean time but this time I did did get the extended warranty. I don't normally bother with extended warranties as it's just the risk being spread about. But I do on tumble driers, with 5 muck monsters in the house (me and the kids) it has a hard time and the rear drum bearing shaft fails at just under 3 years. I'm awaiting for the repair man today, it failed this week with the warranty expiring in Feb, judged it about right. Given the warranty is 1/6th of the cost. Unfortunately I went and bought a replacement, as we would be two days without the drier, and they might complain where I've taken it apart to replace the belt that broke only to find the cause was the shaft. If he fixes it and we run two driers the replacement won't get the wear and won't fail during the warranty, if they don't fix it in three years time I won't take it apart to see whats wrong.

The pedantic point DKW - Des Knaben Wunsch (The Boys Wish) and not Das Motorrad de Krondmelder ( I missed that last night when I proof read Ryans post against the one I was about to post) and you're a hard man

Would that be down to camber of the crown of the road?, or you go harder through left handers being more open coupled with the crown effect?

EDIT - Right I'm confused when I add the attatchment and this post the shoe shows, if I deleate this post it doesnt. Please explain to this numpty? EDIT 2 - Now I've added the above edit it only shows the hosted by box ????
