Hi Zac, I will mark that date in my book and closer to the time if you pm me your mob no I will endevour to join up at some point, (work permitting) Thought the weather got too hot too quick last week, we have the North wind again and it is down to 7 deg again from 22 last friday with frost forecas...

Holy thread resurrection Batman :D Right, this is deffo on the cards. I am going to Ireland for a couple of days at the end of June, ferry back from Holyhead on the 29th. From there I will head back to Lancaster and then head north on the 1st. I will probably follow cupasoop's route (but will detour...

Welcome aboard.

My first bike after a 15 year "break" was a Firestorm (then a SP1, currently on a Fireblade). Is it heck too much...after all, the throttle works both ways.

You lot are a bunch of pisstaking bastidges :D :D :D By the way Mike.....that lump of wood (no not Seagal) looks exactly like a lump of wood I once saw in Florida. Do you think that they could be the same? Or even related? And as for Timbo having salad... http://totalmotorcycle.com/BBS/images/smilie...

glasson dock is only 20 miles from me, nice ride out though, the back way round the lanes, wednesday nights or sunday daytimes, were you in the wagon that we overtook just after the traffic lights near singleton? :thumbup: Its a good round Pilling, from Glasson and down to Poulton and back round Ga...

Timbo, I could be up for that. I am planning a wee trip to the Republic to see my folks, and was thinking of combining this with my Scottish roadtrip. The original plan was Holyhead-Dublin. Couple of days in Westmeath, then either up to Belfast and across to Stranraer, or back via Holyhead and then ...

There's nowt really to go wrong, and yer bike will thank you.

make sure the chain is well lubed and the back tyre has 42psi in it (dry chains and sticky/under inflated tyres will rob BHP)

I have decided to splurge and taken Steve's advice, booked the old girl in for a Dyno custom map at the J33 Dyno Centre. Had a chat with Andy, he sounds so laid back he was almost asleep, knows his sh1t though, well he impressed me :) And if Zakalwe recommends, its good enough for me. He is doing m...

Huh??/

have you been mixing yer tablets with alcohol again???

Keep meaning to do this on the SP :thumbup: I'll look into it this week as I'll be giving it a good fettle :) It's looking rather mucky at the minute-350 mile trip to/and round Wales and 150 mile a week commute are keeping its legs stretched :) It takes all of 30 seconds as the flapper valve diaphr...

The PAIR system injects fresh air into the exhaust ports. This helps to burn any unburnt fuel in the exhaust and reduces emissions. There is normally a couple of reed valves on the head near the exhaust ports (SP1s have them for instance). Flappers are airbox intake valves. They are used (allegedly)...

Waes "Hi" from Morecambe

So the moral of the story is that if you want 40-50 ish year old blokes to stare at you in admiration/desire/omg , then get a Hardley Ableson???

wombles that. I'd honestly rather get a Massey Ferguson and let the middle-aged blokes stare at someone else

Some good gains had there, tuning gets pretty addictive :) sowhat ya going to do next This is pretty much as far as it's going.....though my dyno guy reckons that he can get real big low and mid range gains from tweaking the ignition. So I have half and eye out for a Dynojet ignition module. If I g...

Yeah, yeah, I know it's an IL4, but I though you might like to see some real horsepower numbers (ducks for cover and runs like hell!! ) :lol: :clap: :clap: :clap: Sounds like some pretty good gains to me :thumbup: I suppose they make up, a little, for having the embarrasment of an in-line four :big...
