  1. The 125's are a great mx bike, & easy to keep running, once you go to a four stoke you do have to keep a good eye on motor condition or it can get expensive. Just getting ready to put a new piston kit in my 426 after checking the 5 valves are in spec, ( thankfully they are), these motors take a bit more money unless you can turn a spanner a bit.
  2. Have you thought about fitting a carb from a different machine on there, I take it that both cylinders suck through the same inlet, as they will. I am running an old Solex carb on a v twin Harley bike at the moment, just to keep it going whilst I sort parts, & it might well stay on there, running fine after a simple jet change guided by spark plug reading. If you can make fit, look at any carb suited to the inlet manifold, even with a rubber boot to get it on there, some of the stump grinder motors with a kholer engine use a carb that might do the job, & they will have a rev regulating system that might be possible to link up. Some of the old rev regulating stuff was just a butterfly & spring set up, easy enough to sort for not much more than a bit of time & fiddling, some was a lever on the outside of the engine block controlled internally by a centrifugal spring weight, with a connection to the carb through a set spring. If you can see how the motor is governed to prevent it from over revving , it should be possible to set it up I would imagine.
  3. Argh Mr Noon, your going to have to get some blue saws to support those graffics on the bike now, mind you nothing wrong with a Makita!

    Jokes???

    After 45 years of marriage, a couple was lying in bed one evening, when the wife felt her husband fondling her in ways he hadn't in some time. It almost tickled as his fingers started at her neck, then caressed her shoulders and began moving down past the small of her back. Slowly he worked his hand over her breasts, stopping just over her lower stomach. He then proceeded to place his hand on her left inner arm, caressed past the side of her breast again, working down her side, passing gently over her buttock and down her leg to her calf. Proceeding up her inner thigh, he stopped at the uppermost portion of her leg. He continued in the same manner on her right side, then suddenly stopped, rolled over and became silent. Aroused by this caressing, she asked in a loving voice, 'Honey, that was wonderful. Why did you stop?' 'I found the remote

    Jokes???

    Two women were playing golf. One teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole. The ball hit one of the men. He immediately clasped his hands together at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony. The woman rushed down to the man, and immediately began to apologize. "Please allow me to help. I'm a Physical Therapist and I know I could relieve your pain if you'd allow me," she told him. "Oh, no, I'll be all right. I'll be fine in a few minutes," the man replied. He was in obvious agony, lying in the fetal position, still clasping his hands there at his groin. At her persistence, however, he finally allowed her to help. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, loosened his pants and put her hands inside. She administered tender and artful massage for several long moments and asked, "How does that feel?" He replied: "It feels great, but I still think my thumb's broken!
  6. I thought so mate, but couldn't resist a leg pull! Good to see you up & about.
  7. Ah, the 'big city fungus'...metropolis, I think you meant meripilus Chris!
  8. Trouble here is towns / areas get taken over by each side, what may have been in the position of one group can easy fall into another's hands, proving who actually used the stuff can get very difficult in the fog of war, & whoever used it will have calculated that it was worth the risk. But undoubtedly the Ass Gov had the stuff, whether it was captured or supplied to the opposition by outside parties, then used would be hard to ascertain. Claims are that it has been used on numerous separate occasions in this conflict, which would point more at the gov being the perps.
  9. A few on here do, I used to years ago. I do practice tracks now after a break for while, been today, at the moment I'm on a Yamaha 426.
  10. I certainly feel uneasy when they are in my workspace, the noise of them gives me the chills! To be fair, they were not in the least interested in me, but none the less, at any one time there were more than I wished to count, & I had about 1 & 1/2 hours up there with them!
  11. All it takes is a load of fruit in a compost bin, or some fallen plumbs to get them sizzled.
  12. I hate the bl%%dy things, mind you, was climbing a euc dismantle yesterday & it was full of hornets for some reason, they put the wind up me a bit, rigged it all down a bit sharpish & kept my mouth closed & top button done up!
  13. I think this guy is a fruitcake mostly, but this I think is worth a listen. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgxzpQrqSkg]George Galloway British Parliament Speaks On Syria - YouTube[/ame]
  14. No mate, that's probably how they do it in Australia, but they all stand upside down there anyway.
  15. Riing ding ding de ding......cough splutter wheeze......kating ting ......etc. Looks a fun project!
  16. Tell her to try laying it on its side to eat it, that's meeting her half way, & would be a reasonable compromise!
  17. I get where your coming from....................France!
  18. She is wrong, everybody knows that! Unless you only have a big spoon, then she's right!
  19. You wont get too much help on this one, we don't know the logistics as your post is vague, & most experienced guys who know the ropes wont wish to help fresh competition to win the jobs that require experience in the first place.
  20. Well...
  21. I used to have this large animal/machine to split my logs, he was kind of awkward & pug ugly to boot, but my god he could make a pile of firewood quicker than than a bat fart, god bless him! Felix The Chopper!
  22. No worries Tony, glad you are getting sorted, sounds a very nice bike, well worth saving!
  23. Sounds a bit sharp to me, but you might stihl get a chord or two out of it. If you sing with a husky voice it will help no end.
  24. Hope the nose swelling goes down asap, when are you getting the botox treatment to the top lip by the way. Seriously though lads, make your kids drink through straws if you give them tins of pop outside, hse are too busy keeping their eyes on the likes of us to get a grip on the obvious.
  25. That just shows how the thieves are in a win win situation, I despair of the law in this country sometimes.
