Cheers for the help guys...... The problem is, that the plug was well rounded and rusted before I got my grubby little spanners on it. After attacking it with various vice grips, it's not so much round, as well chewed. I kinda thought that the heat gun woulda sorted things, cos the aluminium sump sh...

Lucky for you................at least you got the bas***d plug out. I've tried everything I know, and the sucker is in there to stay. Anybody got any ideas? I've tried, sockets, heat and sockets, vice grips, bigger vice grips, hot air gun and vice grips. I've tried swearing at it, hitting it, lookin...

1:44.575 Good, but not great.

How the leaders got those times

Like loads of others here, I've lost friends and friends of friends to bike accidents, and for a while it really freaks you out. Well, it did for me. I listened to a pub mate being killed a few years ago: me and a buddy were playing golf and heard this lad take off out of the villiage. Flat out up t...

Gotta say, my 1st 10 attempts (at least) were crap, but eventually got it to 18.652 secs.

That'll do for me

Thanks for the replies.

Excellent pics Dookie.
It apppears that I've not got either lug that you've shown.

Oh well, foamy pads it is then.

Cheers.

Hey folks, Can anyone tell me about the pillion seat cover? I'm thinking that there should be a couple of lugs at the rear to hold the cover against the seat, right? wrong? Mine doesn't have them anyway and since I've owned the bike, it appears that the cover has worn the paint and TBH some of the p...

Phew...............

I was getting serious withdrawal symptoms.

Good to see we're back and running again, well done.

What a title!?!?!?! Took a mate for a lunch time sandwhich run. Turns out I was the sandwhich, between him and the tank. <squeak> To give you the whole story, my mates' about 18 stone = nae ground clearance. Not going fast or anything but I was scrapping my toes round a roundabout. Soft forks..........

Thanks Ben , but I can't get it to work.......

I use muchos to host images, and I've tried all the clipboard options and none seem to work for me.

Ho hum, thanks anyway

Woody

How can i get the image there rather than the text??????????

Anyone?

Thanks all for the warm welcome. I'm definetly gonna buy it.............. Loud cans eh? well its already got a pair of pretty new Microns which sound really sweet without being too loud. Got an ace price for insurance too, from Bennetts. Am I allowed to say that? As soon as I upload a pic, I'll post...

Thanks for the quick replies guys, I had a feeling you would advise me to buy cos I know none of you are in the least bit biased eh? :wink: Another thing I forgot to mention was, that the bike has new chain and sprockets, the rear being 2 teeth more than standard. That would explain how the bike see...

Hi guys, Excellent site you have here. I'm hoping I can ask you all the usual dumb questions and get away with, as there seems to be a wealth of info/experience here that I may well need to tap into. :wink: I'm just about to hand over cash for a '98 Firestorm in the next couple of days. Fantastic bi...
