Tighten front forks

Can anyone keep an English bike going?

I thought that big place moved to Granville or Auburn or somewhere.

 

Of course we did

there was little choice

 

It's surprisingly easy to keep Brit bikes running, it's just that it's
more labor intensive.

Although the last gasp of the 'original' British industry (the Triumph
750 parallel twin) is arguably one of the most difficult of the lot

Something like a BSA Bantam is by comparison easy...

Well of course he isn't going to see those wiring diagrams, you are in
his killfile. And yes, I did see you make the effort to get them to
him. But from what I saw, the damage had been done before that. I tend
to be more in disagreement with you as how you conduct yourself
online, but I am not the one that makes any rules about online conduct
and no-one should be. I would have been happy to catch up for a coffee
yesterday, but my situation right now (well until an hour ago when I
got my Sydney job approval, yay! - which btw, came from an ausmoto
contact) means I have had to keep my head down.

I've know Clem both online (initially) and personally for nearly 15
years now and know he goes out of the way to help people and I just
find your attacks on him unreasonable.

Yes, OK maybe there is a bit of a local club that you have arrived
into late, but I don't see the point of your attacks. We probably do
have something of a clique, but nothing more than a bunch of people
who have been hanging out with each other for over a decade and you
are the new guy on the block. You don't have to conform, but if you
arrive at the club, don't get pissed off if the members don't see eye
to eye with you.

There's been a couple on Ebay.

 

It's not dead, it's just sleeping.

 

Planet. (not city)

 

Seeing as I can't seem to convince you to stop reposting this
fuckhead's tripe Kevin, I can perhaps enlighten you a little.
Did you notice that no-one except Stupid-George googled "sprint wiring
diagram" then posted the result here?
That's because everyone else had the brains-enough to know that
would've been the very FIRST thing I'd tried and the only reason I'd
be asking here would be if that link was useless.
All Stupid-George's continued bleating is proving is that he's not
smart-enough to realise how much stupider than everyone else he really
is.
And then there's the people who talk with him........

See what I mean Kev?

you try to be nice and he comes up with garbage again and again
He has got it all wrong again, I didn't google sprint wiring
I have the manual in my possession in one of my sheds
I sent the wiring diagram to his email address
There were other who googled the wiring diagram and posted the URL for it
Not this little black duck

Anyway, he has shown his idiocy with that reply, so you can have him as a
friend
I wouldn't want a friend like that

 

No, I don't read every single post in its entirety. I think you are
both being as bad as each other. If you don't like his stuff, don't
read it. I am more likely to read your posts than George's though. But
he has as much right as you to post.

Kev

 

I *DON'T* read his posts Kev... DUHH!!
I do however occasionally read your posts and when I see you
postulating about why *I* may or may not be doing something I even-
less-occasionally tell you what really happened.
If you don't like it then for ****'s sake STOP TALKING ABOUT ME!!

Cheers ..... Clem

 

OK, OK, it was a very long time ago. The TV series. I've even driven a
Ford Prefect, the sidevalve one.

Again and again Kev, note his superior than thou attitude.
He claims not to read my posts, yet he makes a comment on them without
":someone else" replying to them.
claims also I posted a wiring diagram here when I posted it to his email
address
that's gratitude for you.
the words "stop talking about me" ?? in capitals shows an inferiority
complex
Look out knobless....they are coming to get you....loser.

How did you go with the gearbox, ever had it jump out of second gear ?

 

Shit that brings back memories
That and burnt out exhaust valves plagued my youth.

 

And I thought it was "opening doors"

 

No, the doors opened themselves (and you could tell they were about to
by their air of smugness!)
I think they even said something like "glad to be of service" as you
passed through them.....

 

The gear box problems had to be fixed by taking the gearbox out, which
entailed either removing the engine or dropping the rear end
bugger of a job whichever way you went
and the problem was usually fixed by a little washer costing tuppence

 

" Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to take you down
to the bridge. Call that job *satisfaction*? 'Cos I don't. "

The 'glad to be of service' thing you recall is actually Marvin mimicking
a sales brochure: " All of the doors in this spaceship have a cheerful
and sunny disposition. It is their pleasure to open for you, and their
satisfaction to close again with the knowledge of a job well done. "
