Crikey 1100 quid ouch

Who has been banned for speeding? If so how long did you get and how much was the fine?

Oh and I should NOT have used the word paranoid. It was the wrong word, my bad. Curious might have been better.

Everything was done as per the guide, every engine is slightly different and has a different tone.Nothing is a black art. I have probably built close to 100 engines in my time as a mechanic and garage owner. I put the post up out of interest to see what people thought. If you have never worked on a ...

Has anyone used on of these or know anything about them? On Ebay and seem extremely cheap?

Yes Dragon is on the West side. Cookie quan said "stay off the West side" so I don't go there. Thanks for the wiring help, everything was plugged in correctly and it fired up first prod. I will try and get to grips with photobucket as Mac suggested and get a pic up of the bike so far. Mac ...
