That'd be quite swift then..

Glad you're enjoying it. We've had a fair bit of warm weather up here, mine has been out a lot!

Had one new in '98. Kept it for a few years. Good bullet proof motor, crap suspension/steering etc if you want to make progress round twisty bits. Nice and comfy for taking it steady though.

Sunny morning up north, so took the Storm out. First real ride since doing the ccts last week. 20 miles from home and it seems to only fire on only one cylinder, except when I pull over it idles fine. Limped it home, pulled plugs out, both a bit black. Drained the carbs off, plenty of fuel but with ...

class.. that made me laugh.. Will try that next time.

Most obvious thing.. you did turn the tap back on?

Finally fitted my manual CCTs today, and a quick action throttle. Roads all wet today here, so hopefully get to take it out tomorrow.

Forks refitted and torqued up, (after being Roger'd) front end rebuilt.

Rear suspension changed for Technoflex one. Just need to follow the setup instructions next for the front forks.

No idea of his prices,

Not lived round there for a while, Is there still a bike tyre place off the Smallheath bypass on the way into Birmingham? He used to have a dyno and do good deals on tyres too, Craig I think his name was..

So.. Helping others to not break the law gets you a criminal record. Nice.

I've much larger one of these in the car, but something like this should be fine for a bike when you're at home. Feck all use though if it won't start when you're leaving work.

Free delivery from Maplin too, until 29/11/10

If it's over 10% it'll keep fine. Even gets better with a little age. what was your starting gravity, and finishing gravity.? Can then work out the %vol fairly easily. Beer brewing day for me this Sat

Mine came today, they look great. Will take some pics when installing. Thanks for including instructions too!

No bother, as and when Tray!

Have you tried some jump leads to a decent battery, (even a car) to make sure it's the battery at fault rather than anything on the bike?

Hi Tray, Sorry to be a pain.. Any news on the latest batch yet?

Cheers,
