Good vids John. Its like being there but not getting rained on and eaten by midges! Keep 'em coming!! Iain

Good job.... Looks like your having a blast....

Childish humour........ But oh so funny..... Keep it up.

I know what you mean Cope. Its a very strange situation. I thought the button was knackered but it looks like the low resistance to earth is def coming from the coil. Its no major drama as i said cause i will just run without a stop button. The only thing i could think of was if the coil has somehow got a restricted earth fault through the bolt to the frame?? but nevermind at least its running. Cheers Iain

Hello everybody, I am looking for a bit of worldly knowledge...... Having rebuilt the bike over the winter with much frustration i have eventually got to the point of getting her going again. Now all was well after the rebuild and it started fine..... and carried on running fine. I had to fit a new clutch cable and sort the back brake and we were ready to go. Tried starting her again but no joy. Checked all the obvious and eventually got hacked off and drained the carb, cleaned the jets, changed the fuel, renewed the fuel hose and checked fuel was being drawn through to the carb. All good and a nice strong spark. Still no start though. Eventually checked the stop switch and found quite low resistance. Disconnected it and away it went after two kicks. I cut out the stop switch and put a temporary switch in but found the resistance is still low?? Checked the coil and it seems the low resistance to earth ~600ohms is coming from the coil. So does anyone know what resistance i should get from the coil to earth? Worst case i will run without a stop button but just wondered if its possible to sort without buying a new coil. Any info is welcome Cheers Iain

Jam roly-poly

Large cream cakes....

Cheers cope.... Will go for that... Parts all here and rebuild imminent. Iain

Well I have recently had the frame welded on my bike and all parts are on order from splatshop. Once arrived I shall begin the task of rebuilding the beast. Fortunatley the bash plate has gone on without too much trouble and I have a rolling chassis for the engine to drop into once repaired. I see some discussion has taken place regarding engine oil. I take the concensus is to use 5w30 oil? Back to work tomorrow so once the spares arrive I will hopefully have some days off to get it rebuilt. Iain

Well what race today. I am glad to report racing is back as Mr. Rossi and Mr. Lorenzo proved today. No love lost between that pair anyway. Spies had a good comeback after his off. All in all a good early morning race Iain

A sad loss to the sport and a timely reminder that motorsport is dangerous.

Awesome racing that weekend from all classes..... If Scott reading could put a good race together he might break the top ten in the standings.... Good comeback for him and De'Angelis after the horror accident as well.

Excelent vid and quality music!!!

Met a girl in the park..... There was an instant spark between us..... She fell at my feet and as i s****ed her i thought these taser guns are well worth the money!

Well I started drilling it out but I couldn't get the swingarm to separate from the engine so it ended up as a combination of beating it out and wedging the frame a bit to hacksaw through it. The bolt came out easy enough after that. The new one will be getting drowned in copaslip when it goes in. Iain

A man walks into a pharmacy and asks " Where's the Tampax?" "Over there" points the assistant The man returns to the counter with cotton wool balls and toilet paper "Thought you wanted tampax" ask the assistant "Yeah well last week i asked the wife to buy me a 20 pack of fags and she came back with a pouch of tobacco, so we'll see how she likes rolling her own!"

************** Update ****************** Well its been a while to get to this stage but finally the engine is free from the frame and i am in the process of overhauling the engine and trying to find where the knocking noise was coming from. It appears that in the past a previous owner (with zero skill) has damaged the engine casing slightly when stripping it down but i have a fix for this. The frame is cracked but is due to be welded next monday. Once i have ordered the vast array of new bits for the engine i shall proceed with rebuild. Having read other posts regarding overheating (which my bike did just before giving up) i reckon there may be a fuel mix issue i.e. i need to run it at 80:1? Well enough rambling, i shall hopefully be backin service before the year is out. Cheers Iain

Yeah i thought there may be a bit of brutal bending required but all that is still to come......... The leg is alright today after the stupid feckin horse kicked it....... Should get back to the job at hand soon.. Laters Iain

I reckon i will give it a go with the oil....... Its a right pain in the a*** that it snapped cause it was the only bloody thing that was holding the job up. Everything is going to get a right good copaslipping up when it goes back together although refitting the bash plate is going to be a challenge........ The job is back on hold at the mo anyway due to my wifes horse booting me in the leg today....... Will keep you posted..... literally. Thanks for the suggestions... Iain

Alrighty people, Looking for a bit of worldy advice. i am currently in the process of stripping my bike down to replace all duff bits and service the engine. My only problem is the bolt that goes through the swinging arm and the engine at the back. When i tried to take it out the head sheared of the bolt which has made the job of getting it out a total nightmare....... Any suggestions on the best way to get it out???? All suggestions welcome Cheers Iain.....

Hi Cope, I would try to get a bootable version of Linux then you should be able to fire the beast up and see if you can get access to the stuff on your D Drive. I take it there is no option of rolling back your computer to vista? Will try to have a look around and see if there is any info out there on getting vista back..... Does Windows 7 run as a virtual OS or has it taken over the whole computer? Hope you get it sorted.... Iain p.s. had a quick squint on the net and it appears you will have to re-install vista after you have backed up all your files. Windows 7 is built so you have to but it and use it..... sorry bout that!

My driving instructer told to wear my seatbelt because if i were in a crash the force could throw me out of the car....... I cant believe he thinks star wars is real............... Iain
