Some news from the Czech Republic has brightened my day. A little bling goes a long way to pacifying a spurned partner.

Got a wee 100 mile scoot out on the Aprilia yesterday while it was dry, first in a long while. one to get me out and two just to try and make up my mind come springtime what im doing with the bikes i own atm..which or all gets the axe, or if any :confused Glad it's back up and running Fabio. I'm tr...

If this situation is making you ill, you need to give yourself a break from it Nick, Chris. Ill might have been a slight overstatement made in frustration. I'm definitely not the happy bunny I was with this bike though. The fuel is now drained from the bike and it's going back under cover for a whi...

Nice one Tony. Enjoy all the clichés.

This bike is now wombles pissing me off. It's that frustrating it's making me ill. I'd sell it in a heartbeat if someone offered me the right money. I just want a bike that works. I think I've made some progress with the starting issues but I've still got electrical problems, I think. Starting seeme...

Right ITV4 it is for me. The Aprilia performance has been interesting. The KTMs are generally much closer, especially later on when Miller started to work the bike out. I'd definitely have expected the same from the two Aprilia boys. Maybe there's a bit of lead rider antagonism. Or some mixing and m...

I wasn't enjoying watching MGP this year until the second half of the season. I wasn't going to renew my subscription but now I'm having second thoughts. Martin's improvement looks like it could make next season much more interesting. Plus there's Binder, Miller will be on his second season and shou...

Thanks guys. The damper shaft was just a bit of M8 rod with the ends turned and tapped. The brass pieces were more satisfying as I had to grind tools for the grooves.

I found out that my local FE college runs an introduction to engineering evening course: Turning (brass and nylon headed hammer), milling (v-block with clamp) and fitting (small hammer head hand shaped) are covered. I'd have signed up anyway but it was free, so a no brainer. It turned out that the t...

When mines cold it's the same. I could leave it on a street and nobody could start the dam thing lol .it has a certain amount of choke throttle it needs or it just does not start.. thankfully if learnt the rite amount of each. .
