    Joke

    Barry returned from a doctor's visit one day and told his Wife, Carolyn that the doctor said he only had 24 hours to live. Wiping away her tears, he asked her to make love with him. Of course she agreed and they made passionate love. Six hours later, Barry went to her again, and said, 'Honey, now I only have 18 hours left to live. Maybe we Could make love again?' Carolyn agreed and again they made love. Later, Barry was getting into bed when he realized he now Had only eight hours of life left. He touched Carolyn's shoulder And said, 'Honey? Please? Just one more time before I die.' She Agreed, then afterward she rolled over and fell asleep. Barry, however, heard the clock ticking in his head, and He tossed and turned until he was down to only four more hours. He tapped his wife on the shoulder to wake her up. 'Honey, I only have four hours left! Could we...?' His wife sat up abruptly, turned to him and said, 'Listen Barry, I'm not being funny.... ..but I have to get up in the morning and you don't.'
  9. I think you have to take your registration doc' the first time on the new system, this might help identifying the numbers.
  10. One of the few advantages of getting older is that suppliers don't try to take the pee out you quite so often. Alpinestars work for me.
  11. Stick with percussive maintenance, works for me !

    How about some jokes about pakis, wogs and jews.
  15. If you look up "own brand" in the dictionary, and I quote - see effluent.
  16. Wouldn't use the method of stopping the engine you describe. You can get flywheel holding tools, not sure whats available for yours. You should buy a good quality torque wrench, will always come in useful. A method for stopping the flywheel rotating I use is - an old leather belt, one end vice gripped to the foot rest or similar. Wrap the other end round the circumference of the flywheel, overlapping the free end. Hold the belt and revolve the flywheel, this will tighten it up till it grips, then torque to the setting. Various people recommend tapping the bolt and rechecking.
  17. To expand on this topic, I asked the police if was worth keeping an eye on gumtree / evil etc. Also the follow home angle. They said this only happened with exotic cars. Also that most bike were stolen and used and abused until trashed, not sold. They may be traded for drugs etc. The police were at all times polite, and at no time gave me the slightest hope that I would get it back, until scrap, if then. Has anybody got their bike back ?
  18. Some on T C will say this isn't common, but there is a post like yours every few days. First I would start engine, push and engage any gear, drive about with clutch in, as it warms up , use back brake. Be very surprised if it doesn't free off eventually, particularly if is was working before. When fully warm, a change of oils is no bad thing on any bike you dont know the history of.
  19. The only problem at the time (was registered for the first pre65 scottish that was on the road) was that DVLA office in Edinburgh said on the phone that they didn't need to see the bike, but when I got there they said they did. In the event they then came to my house to inspect the bike. They were not happy that the frame no wasn't on the head stock. Only accepted it as genuine when I showed them a picture in a Haynes manuel of the number on the engine mounting.
