  1. I have a 1290 sdr myself, evo tune, what a bike!
  2. Memory lane, the Felix lunge. I took this way back, some will know.
  3. Gawky little sycamore, very resilient, give the client what they want, preferably back to old points, and a gentle clean up, end of.

    Jokes???

    They say where theres a will there's a way, I bloody wish!?
  5. Yes Mark, we worked together a fair bit over the years, fond memories, but he never let me near his lunch box, it was massive and bursting at the seems. My old dog had a good go a few times, Felixstowe was most put out at the affront! As I say, fond memories.

    Jokes???

    All but11 and 12... Caveat, some were not repeated recently, due to age imposed lack of inability, though not for lack of trying. Some through age imposed lack of interest, these include many not on the list. Also one through lack of offers, ahem.
  7. Thank you mate, I haven't changed much, more is the pity some might say...?
  8. You too mate, all is well here thanks.
  9. Just a heads up to who it may interest, I'm not new, but I have been vacant for a long while,( quit the funny responses before you start). Though I would stick my head in now and then, not much has changed, I'm still a bloody nuisance.
  10. Reminds me of Billy the Sh#t, gone, but by heck he lived on full chat all the time, wore me out. VID-20170608-WA0000.mp4
  11. A sad day around when the big man passed.

    5/13/17, and at my age I think that's a good performance. Thank christ you dont lose points for repeat offences though!
  13. There are quite a few of us blokes like that Mick, there are some big egos in this trade,and primadonas, the few ladies I have worked with were just in it for love of the job and a reasonable living.
  14. That's a bargain, but carefully using it, it will take you to kickback city in a flash.

    bad day

    You should be fine once it's run through, it's the one time when I'm glad of a primer bulb to flush the system.

    bad day

    The oil will have got into the carb, or partialy clogged the tank filter, and ought be dispersed by the fuel mix.
  17. I don't know what spark setup it has, but I still think something electrical is breaking down.
  18. The raptor is work in progress, but the forks and brakes are in, and after bedding them in it has transformed the bike on the brakes, and in bumpy corners. Here's a pic of the old girl as it stands, but there's loads to do yet, that tl1000s motor is a gem, and goes like stink in the little bike!
  19. In my opinion it feels better in the hand, the ergonomics are more refined, it is very zippy in use, and feels like a very high quality product. They are both great saws, having used them both, I own the 390.
  20. Having used both I would go for the 390, it is a cracking little saw, they are both good, but the 390 is a very capable and well presented machine, superior in my opinion.
  21. Nice machine Mull, comfy mile eater.
  22. Nice Tim! I have been fitting 98 r1 forks and brakes to my cagiva raptor 1000, and boring and slaving my control levers with phosphur bronze to get them beter than new, no slop now, the forks were a chore, lots of lathe work to get a spindle to fit...just getting brake hoses made and I can dial it all in...

    Tiny echo!

    Do you not get the loan saw there? I would contact echo and verify if the dealer says no, we do here in uk.
