He quoted me less but didn't realise there were going to be so many valves needing adjusting so I asked him how much it actually cost and paid that. I assume he replaced some and swapped others over. He does get shims cheap though, he worked on ...

... valve (reed valve??), oil filter and air filter myself in a couple of hours. Wasn't at a main dealer but still got a stamp. 16 out of 16 valves were out of tolerance (I got it done 1000 miles earlier than schedule too (25,600miles)

I'd give the bike a miss tomorrow if I were you. The pain's made you forget which side the gear lever is on!

... saving performance mod. I am disappointed in you. Reckon I may have saved a few kilos clearing flies out of the airbox. Can't believe how many were in there as only cleaned it about 1000miles ago. The central ram air scoop must be like some kind of industrial grade Dyson fly sucking machine :?

... a false indication luckily). Then try and wind down from that and get back to sleep to get up at 5am for another 12 hr shift. At the refinery, you were on a set shift, you formed a real bond and camaraderie. Two of the people on my shift at the refinery are like family to me now, pretty much the ...

I have no idea which. I don't know enough about it all to make an informed decision. I thought that was what the politicians were for. To make these complex decisions for us keeping our best interests in mind.

How long were you there for? I was there for 7 years. I only left as 240 of the 250 of us in Operations got made redundant due to ceasing Refining operations and converting to a Terminal with finished product being imported. It's ...

I'd never bothered to look at that in fairness.. I used to use O-ring chains but found they were crap so bought an XW ring chain and 2 years later it's still like new, I don't think there's a single seized link I'll stick with a steel front sprocket though, that must ...

... at all. I'm not sure if they make them differently for supermoto/superbikes but it did put me off them Tbh Cav it probably wasn't because they were made by Talon. Most branded sprockets are made from 7075 T6 Alloy and obviously no difference in design, so if your comparing like for like there ...

... movement of EU citizens in and out of the UK. Listening to the radio earlier and one of the aid workers at the Calais camps was saying why they were trying to claim UK asylum for the children in the camp. Apparently its much harder to claim asylum in France than in the UK, which is nothing to ...

... with thousands of jobs lost, financial institutions and companies exiting the UK due to it becoming isolated and too expensive. If leaving were a success, then other countries will see that and leave too, effectively our action would destroy the EU. (Of course that means that if we leave, ...

Rode over to JHP this morning as they were launching the XDiavel. Damp ride there and back but i was warm and dry so quite enjoyed it TBH. Free coffee and cake and pizza if you wanted it. The bike is nothing like my expectations and will have ...

... big pan of Kedgeree this morning for Mini Gee and myself, Mrs Gee isn't a fan of smoked fish so she had a bacon sandwich, but the male contingent were very happy with the kedgeree and there's enough left for me to take to work on Monday. Beware the perils of a job well done though, as Mrs Gee ...

I remember the paramedic saying how difficult they were to cut off and how well they had protected you. Not surprised your going for another set as they have most definitely been thoroughly tested

... bolted on at all, so no generator, water pump, oil pump,fan, transmission or axle as you'd normally have fitted to a standard car - they were all driven externally within the test bay. So the engine had produced that figure but in "test conditions", so in a regular car was producing ...

... ambulance crew cut them to pieces not sure if you can see but the damage to the leathers was on the elbow / arm ,bum area and the back of the knee were the stretch panelling was. From the accident i damaged my back from the impact on the curb and had grazing on my knee. I have just put my order ...

... in at the very last moment when the obstruction in the carriageway is 10ft in front of them. ...only for these **** to find tonight that two plod were stood there on front of the accident noting down the reg numbers of the drivers doing this very thing. I hope they get a ticket for ignoring the ...

I do wonder about these genius idea Kickstarters. If they were that decent someone would stump up the cash early on.
