As my Deauville is now MOT'd I'm looking to get some miles on it to get the old fuel cleaned out and see if it helps with the somewhat rough carburation. So...
... I have a carb balancer if you need to tune.. ... Aye, still here. Was out on a run with the MCNNinja forum a few weekends ago. A rolling traffic jam of 30...
Try some Silkolene (maybe says Fuchs on the label now...) "Pro FST". Mix about 2% by volume with the fuel in the tank, it might do the job. It's not always...
... I'd usually say 3 or 4 bikes maximum ;-) Beyond that, better to agree a destination and meet up there. Even the guys who (think they) are really fast...
A weekend away is out just now but a run is a nice idea. Anyone (one of the time limited types) care to nominate a date and we can see if it suits people? ...
... <snip> ... A very kind offer, but the last time I used a carb balancer was on my old CB125T in the mid 80's and I made a right bollocks of it! ... I've not...
... Cheers - I'll check that out. I might even have some in one of the myriad boxes in the garage. ... Might be worthwhile starting with a little evening run...
This morning I took the DV on it's first decent run since being put back on the road. Old favourites in the borders south of Edinburgh (A703 to Innerleithen,...
Took the XBR for a much needed spin, using the same route as last weekend. Got my timings slightly better this time (or perhaps it's just that the XBR is...
... Weather would have been ok, but didn't go anywhere in the end. I packed the Deauville up with all my camping gear, planning to head to the campsite at...
I'm busy the next 2 weekends, sorry. I could be tempted to something like the St Mary's Loch run (i.e. half rather than full day) on 27/28 or 4/5 July though....
I'm going to prune the membership list. I'm pretty sure that superhotbikerchick07 may not be an entirely genuine person. If you are a real member and do...
... aw. really? Shame... a -- When a passenger of the foot, hooves in sight, tootel the horn trumpet melodiously words: http://www.kickingtyres.com/blog/ ...
... Our moderator privileges don't have permissions for removing members (or at least mine doesn't). We need Mike or Andy to give us the power of life and...
Yeah, found this out the hard way... (handy that the yahoo help tells you how to do it, and doesn't mention it may not be possible;-) I suppose we could decamp...
... Might be interested in the road races. I have been meaning to reply to your (Steve's) emails on rideouts especially the weekenders but procrastinated at...
... IF we do that, would it be worth including ixies in the North of England (if they aren't already subbed), as I'm pretty sure Craig, RP and others who are...
I was talking to Ian Murray just recently, and he says Roy is willing to do work in Edinburgh for people he knows. He waits until there are a few jobs and...
... I'm sure all would be welcome. Of course they'd be welcome to join the existing list anyway, we already let the english feckers in (which I'm allowed...
... I've already phoned and get the privilege of taking the bike to Cupar. He's still busy. Might be pushing the reasonable distance traveling for an MOT...
... Sounds good. I've been down that way quite a few times lately and there are plenty of good routes. I'll check diary with SWMBO and propose a date. Not sure...
... I'm interested - the XBR needs a few bits and bobs done but I'd rather not be coughing up main dealer prices. Two Wheels have had most of my disposable...
... <snip> ... I think you buying a van is a great idea - especially if I get to borrow it on occasion... :-) It'd be even better if you bought a bike trailer...
