Cheers, might well try Maxton, tried them in the past and didnt come across particularly helpful but may well give em a ring

Looking forward to this one, I havent had a lot of spare time this year with one thing or another and was really looking forward to Doni last month but I wont be missing this one, just hope I can lose enough weight to get into me Pittty's T shirt

Thanks pal, they're a bit of an awkward size and I'm struggling to track them down, just spoke to Polybush who reckon if I pop down they may be able to knock some up for me, fingers crossed.

As some of you know I'm doing up and old Z650 and have recently had the rear shocks serviced/powder coated etc, they came without shock bushes and I'm struggling to find a supplier, they have an outer diameter of 25 mm with two having 15 mm internal diameters and two have 10 mm internals, bit of a w...

I'd tend to agree with you Monty but the 3 lads in question aren't renowned for there sense of humour tbh, bit of a wierd one really, ah well, as long as its clear now.

Have a great time, looks nice

Good write up, youre missing the next race I believe so Oulton Park is the next race in June, looking forward to that one

I'm in work tonight and 2 of our Scottish drivers have just arrived in Skelmersdale reporting that there has been a multi car accident on the M6 sth at shap due to snow, yeah you read that right snow, apparently the fields either side are all full of it too, I was supposed to be heading sth in the m...

You can do loads to older bikes to bring them some ways up to date, new tyres are a good example, if you want something easy go for a Honda 400/4 or maybe and earlier kwak like a GPX or something, some things to bear in mind though are things like fuel tanks that may no longer be available and so ar...

The classic bike mags have been talking about this for a few yrs now, its particularly good at wrecking tanks, problem is any chemical will create problems of disposal as well, I worked in the waste industry for 10 yrs mostly on tankers but also as a process operative on a waste recycling in Preston...

Tastes like shit but chuck some diet coke in and its a cheap night in

I recently bought some Oxford soft panniers for a now cancelled trip, 50 ltrs and expandable from a relatively small size, depend how long youre going for, I can get a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat and bits n bobs in there, dunno where you're based but you can always pop round and have a look/bor...

Don't talk to me about Kais. And you always spoke so highly of them in the past :x ;) All joking a side too many horror story's come out of that place and some of the things you told me were shocking. @Stew - FYI I got a really good service from Reactive suspension over near York. Gareth is extreme...

Yeah I think youre probably right, will drop them an email I think about the bushes and see what they can do

well they had the shocks for 6 months in the end, fair enough I told em it wasn't a rush job but 6 months ? plus some of the paint was chipped on the bodies when I got them back, I went to them because my original shocks got wrecked by a local Warrington outfit and I had to buy a second pair and som...

It was a service, cant say Im too impresed, they had em for a while but theyre home now , just need to get hold the bushes to match the bike and we're in buisness, biggest problem i'm going to have is getting hold of decent loom, I though it was ok but its 34 yrs old and probably goosed, Ive sourced...

The only one I know is this one really, but its very good

I think at the heart of this whole argument though is that its an Islamic practise to slaughter the animals in a certain way, apparently its quite close to Kosher in the way thats its done and of course we're pre supposing our abbatoirs are all above board, one minute you're watching Peppa pig with ...

Its good innit ? I find half the fun of doing this is the research, tracking down obscure websites in Japan etc and scouring Ebay for some part that you reckon only you knows the worth of and hoping to god someone desnt beat you to it, once mine's done I think I will be looking for another, not sure...
