Hey, thanks for all the birthday wishes, don't get on here as much as I should

Still got the bike, just hardly get out on it, must try harder this year!

Most of the 'im glad she is dead comments' are from people who dont have a mind of their own and just follow what daddy told them when he lost his job. People have such short memories, they forget that in '79 under Callaghan the income tax rate was 33% and 86% higher rate. They forget that for year...

That sounds good. I had my car tyres fitted by a guy once and he had a manual balancer which was basically a spike he put the wheel on and he added weights until it stayed perfectly level. I was a bit worried a the time but they ended up balanced as well as any machine had ever done them. No vibrati...

I'm all for DIY tyre changing, but what do you do about balancing the wheel?

Is the noise speed or engine revs related?

I had the same problem on mine but just carefully loosened the lock nut, put some silicone sealant around the base of the thread and re-tightened the locknut. No leak in over a year.

Chain & sprockets worn?

If it still vibrates, sell it and buy another one.

That's what the previous owner did

Just managed to snap the rear right indicator off my bike moving it round in the garage!

Also does anyone have one for sale?

Had exact same problem with mine. Just hold the main bolt with a spanner, undo the locknut put some high temp silicone sealant on the thread where the locknut sits and re tighten. Job done, no leaks on mine, been nearly a year now. I see no need for locktite, so long as the locknut is tight it won't...
