  1. The drive sprocket on the power head will cope yes , especially if its a floating rim type . . Would need to change then if its very worn though .
  2. No . because the nose sprocket on the bar would be wrong . Eg you could not run .325 on a bar that has a 3/8 nose sprocket . even if the gauge for both is 1.5 .

    So . If loadza people went to the shop to buy a tin of soup all would be well . Some well meaning geezer is giving it away for free , crime of the century . 'kin bonkers .
  4. I baked a Hippopotamus , turnip and goldfish quiche yesterday . It was lovely . 🙂
  5. Bit like Grandad rights for towing . 👍
  6. It could indeed . I have mostly been a sports bike person . I did have a VFR 750FK back in the day but, of course I had to fiddle with it . TTS BIG BORE kit taking it out to 837cc ( masses of torque ) Extended gear box output shaft to correct the chain run for CBR 1000 wheels and my own ram air system ( The ram air system made it run like a pig so reverted back to design intent ) Oh and I made the exhaust system .
  7. I hear what you are saying but , A ZZR1100 is only 145BHP and handles like a broken toilet seat . Most current 1000cc sports bikes make in excess 200BHP and don't weigh much more than a 600cc . EG The current Blade is around 2017 BHP and weighs four fifths of fcuk all .
  8. That I heard also but , there was a guy on here not long ago who had one in and out of the shop . Lots of down time . No good in the woods like that .
  9. She's a blacksmith so sharping it should be ok, for someone who spends all day swinging a hammer this pick is causing some difficulty, what is the trick? Start slowly ( as if you are not bothered about the point sticking ) just trying to get the point to strike first and not letting the shaft twist in your hand.
  10. Well you know what I mean bud .
  11. I used to have a Renault Gordini when I was an apprentice back in 1807 . I turned up some small end bushes for it from fozzy bronze . Worked a treat ! 👍
  12. 'Kin outstanding ! You are a wizard ! 👍
  13. I agree here . Its a bit like 2 ropes and a strop then a mewp . The skill in " feeling " what the rubber is doing , what the suspension is doing etc etc will eventually be lost . I have never had electronic help , traction control , wheely control etc etc . If I fcuk up its down to me so I make sure I learn from the bike . I think ( and its just my opinion ) that most riders reach their limit before they reach the limit of the bike . If this happens they can create a situation that does not need to happen . I am an old git of 68 now but was always at the front of the " fast group " at the track day . Old Stubby back in 2005 .
  14. I got that supplied with my can as well as the 2 push type I use that one all the time for the oil .
  15. I think Cattle Egret have yellow legs as well . May be just the cock bird .
  16. You can't say pitch FFS !
  17. Like passed in parliament and shit ?
  18. Paddy me old mucker . Just to clear things up ...On page nine you say " its the LAW " and then later on somewhere you say " I'm not saying its the law " . It wont affect me as the highest I ever get now is putting a pair of thick socks on . just wondered if it is or isn't the law . pretty please , with sugar on top ....🙂
