Wings.

My missus had just got the chicken out of the oven and started carving it.
'Would you like some wings?' She asked.
'Yes please.' I said.
So she started singing 'Band on the Run'.

Re: Types of grease I might require

I have three tubs of grease:- General purpose grease, for stuff that moves. Copper grease for bolts etc, that don't usuall move but I don't want to sieze in place. Red rubber grease, for rubber parts. Mainly brake caliper seals. A decent size tub (500g) of any of these are not expensive and you won'...

Re: What's annoyed you today??

What has annoyed me? The missus. If you don't trust your car to go further than 20 miles after the fuel light comes on and you work a 25 mile round trip from home, why oh why would you not fill the tank when it gets low, but BEFORE the light comes on!! AND somehow it is MY fault! Alex. (Blimey, that...

Re: Learning to weld

I did a welding course a few years back at the local college, great fun learning how to stick bits of metal together without glue!
Started off with stick, then MIG and finally a bit of TIG. Might have to look them up and see what courses they are running this year!

Re: Black AND Red Storm...

Thanks. While the paint is nice, the uprated forks and Ohlins shock are more interesting! :lol:

Black AND Red Storm...

Hi Guys, I've been here a while, but thought it was high time that I shared some snaps of my 'storm. She's had some mods over the years, mostly before my time! https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4572/37880127685_744ce2dccf_b.jpg 20171201_151203 by Alex Taylor , on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4...

Starter Motor Cable.

My storm has always been reluctant to start and drained the battery rather quickly. So a month or so ago I started looking into why, when I noticed that the nut holding the cable onto the starter motor resembled a brown blob rather than hexagonal! I replaced the starter motor with a Blackbird item a...

No worries, gets them out of my garage and frees up space to be filled with something else! :lol:

I've been spoilt by the pbmag forum software.
Does this forum software not like Flickr?

Re: Popkat and his XJ600 Parts...

The XJ is currently in about as many bits as a bike can be, without stripping the engine! Had her on the road a year or two back, then stripped diwn to powdercoat the frame post mod and a cosmetic tidy. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4588/38070528785_7450b74142_b.jpg 2017-12-10_11-42-24 by Alex Tayl...
