I'll hopefully finish the write-up off tonight. Good point about the deer.....the main road into Ullapool is well known for that as they come down from the hill, across the road to the loch (Loch Broom). I used to rent a lochside cottage up there fairly regularly. on a quiet evening you could someti...

I'm getting into a rhythm now.....the ride through Glencoe is stunning, fantastic road through the best scenery in the world. i stop in Fort William for fuel and a drink. I can't wait to get get out of there...too many people, too many cars, too many shops, bars, crowds, reminders of everything that...

Next morning...woke up to the fragrant smell of drying boot and gloves wafting from the bathroom. :sick: Wander down to consume another million calories in the full Scottish breakfast. Bike loaded up, leathers on, weather looking fine, and we're off. I had planned a fairly big day today. I wanted to...

Back out the A82 to Tyndrum. What a wombles superb road. Praise be to the council up there....some of the most awesome corners were Shellgripped :thumbup: :thumbup: An hour of being anti-social (and raging at the queues of drivers pootling along at 30MPH in a NSL zone....honestly, has the "Spee...

Cheers guys :thumbup: Right....morning 2. Pissing wet outside. I mean, raining like it can only rain in Scotland. And blowing a gale to boot. Plus, the world was about to drop outta me butt. :crazy: Two watery dumps later I am stuffing my face on a full Scotch breakfast (well.....ya gotta keep yer s...

Anyhoo...the A83. What A Superb Road :thumbup: :thumbup: Honestly...you Scottishers don't know you're born.....fast, smooth (being repaired in a couple of places), awesome scenery- especially where it drops down to the loch, grippy surface, lovely flowing corners.....amazing :thumbup: :thumbup: http...

Well...I been up in that there Scotland. 1800 miles in 6 days... I have had a bit of a run out on the bike for a couple of reasons.....I needed to see my family in Ireland and I needed a break from work. The plan was to get the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin last Sunday, a couple of days in Ireland t...

Meeting Timbo and Steve (Zakalwe) at Hawes, then off to wherever. Dunno why I'm bothering to post this to be honest, as it always seems to be just the usual suspects who come out. Anyway, it would be rude not to invite, so there you go. As ever, it will include some cracking roads and scenery. What...

tbh i really would of tried welding onto the end first and removing it that way, vauxhall heads, on cars, are common for studs snapping all the time on manifolds, and that is the sure fire way , my mate gets all them out, 100%, and the heads are really soft alloy on them. think on one, he even had ...

Have you tried welding a nut onto the stud? The heat will usually free the stud.

Steve (Zakalwe) uses them on his blade as well. Sticky in the dry, crap in the wet is my recollection. I recall Steve saying something about it when we got caught in that delluge in Windermere. ^^This^^..though that was on a freezing cold day in March. Racetech scrubs are more awesome than an aweso...

Lots more area under the torque curve there Tim (more important than peak BHP).
