Re: DevonStorm 24. 21st -24th June

I'll be staying on after the Devon weekend to visit Cornwall for the week. That means I'll be up for a rideout Sunday as well, if anyone fancies joining me?

BREAKING NEWS ! U TURN... ''Hi troops! So after a bit of thinking, and some transatlantic telephone time spent with my much valued mate Phil Treadgold we are reversing course on the issue of VTR related content.

Re: VTR facebook page bans any non VTR posts!

My Aprilia is now identifying as a VTR, and I think that we should respect its wishes. How "pure" does a VTR have to be in order to be in their site? If a VTR had non-standard parts, is that ok? And how many non-standard parts? Is Alastair's Yammie dragster ok (it has a Storm chain guard)....

Re: BSB R1 NAVARRA

I nearly got a pass to go to this one. Nicole thought it was the traditional season opener at Brands, but as soon as she saw me booking a ferry, it was unapproved very quickly.
The tellybox will have to do.

Re: 1997 VTR not sparklng

They fire independently. The ignition trigger wheel inside the clutch housing picks up signals for both coils and sends them to the ignition module. The module then sends the correct LT signal to each coil. Each coil converts to a HT output and sends it to the coil. So if you have a spark on one onl...

Re: VTR facebook page bans any non VTR posts!

Posts about breakfasts are allowed; they just won't allow pictures of any other make or model of bike. It's getting a bit puritan on that site. The power has gone to the Mod's heads, but then, we're coming up to Mayday, and traditionally, the Mods always kick off this time of year. Obviously, there ...

Re: From 107 to 128

Glad you got it sorted. Lithiums need an unusual technique when the temperature is cold. It's as though you have to warm them up first. I find that standing for a few minutes with just the headlight on helps. Then try to start with a short press ( don't try to hold it) and see if it wants to turn ov...

Re: Oliver's Mount spring cup meeting April 13/14

Best-laid plans and all. Nicole had one of her vertigo episodes and so this morning, after a cold night in the van, we decided to head home instead of watching today's racing. But I'm currently in Squires getting food; it was near enough on the way home and we need a replacement sticker for the van....
