Ear plugs, seriously if its just a bit noisy I would think twice.

Lanarkshire club has Rule 9. Every rider has to nominate a round during the year to observe.

Might just be me, but if conjures up images of Arther Daley type characters.

Slim Shady ?

No it works, not for long though.

The capacitor gets charged up if you kick it over with the plug out, when you reconnect it you get a better spark.

It may be a style thing, or lack of, but I cant think of any time when i've hit me chest on the bars.

What are the advantages ?

I appologise Duncan, before I even opened your link I thought it was going to be along the folicly challenged lines.

I always skip adverts starting with " here we have...." dont know why.

You been reading my mail again ?

I try to engage the starter gears befor kicking it over, thinking being that its easier on the brive train.

Last time I made a throw away comment like that I recieved a fizzy fit rant. (not from leedb I hasten to add)

Sorry, some friends turned up demanding drink. With my impact wrench, as Andy T said, a slight twist in the anticlockwise direction (assuming normal thread) means that when you hit it, all the force goes into the nut, hopefully undoing it.

This also works when you have your head under the bonnet and your mate blasts the horn.

I come on here to escape the other real world.

Get an impact wrench if you can, every tool box should have one. And remember to take the slack out before you hit it, works much better.

I was going to say try a new plug, might be all that it takes. I never try to start my bikes without a boot on, found out the hard way.

Try Jiff

The real mans way to check if theres a spark is to hold the plug, ease over gently, you'le soon know if its getting power ! Saves on hair gell.

I think you mentioned this, but isnt the age of the bike taken from the frame rather than the engine ?

Wonder if the registration is transferable ?

After announcing he's getting married, a boy tells his pal he'll be wearing the kilt. "And what's the tartan?" asks his mate. "Oh, she'll be wearing a white dress," he replies. A man takes a pair of shoes back to the shop and complains that there is a lace missing. "No," argues the assistant, "look at the label - it says Taiwan " What's the difference between The Rolling Stones and an Aberdeen sheep farmer? The Rolling Stones say: "Hey you, get off of my cloud." And an Aberdeen sheep farmer says: "Hey McLeod, get off of ma ewe." What about the Scotsman who lost his testicles in a motorcycle accident? The surgeon re-attached them with Bostik. After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too' And then the fight started..... ****************************************************************** ********** ****************************************************************** ********** My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife asked, 'Do you know her?' 'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.' 'My God!' says my wife, 'Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?' And then the fight started..... ******************************************************************
