Its gone....thank f**k !! I went without a bike for a while, and was sorely tempted to get my old Storm back but I've been there so thought I'd have a crack at this. Should be a good laugh ( unlike the vara !! )

yeah so much for getting home before dark.... :roll:
the fecking AA are useless some times.
but by far the weirdest part of this story, is that you've never tasted a bagel before.... :eek2
next time you come to the east end, I will treat you to a real bagel, at the 24hr bagel bakery in brick lane, you can't beat a salt beef bagel from there... :thumbup:
Surely thats a baigel AP? Had one last week, great bagel (baigel) - sh1t hole place, guess they don't reinvest the profits.....
you say baigel I say bagel, baigel, bagel, lets call the whole thing off......... :lol:
on brick lane, you're paying for the taste, not the surroundings, and they taste fecking great!!!!!!!!
Yes, bagels are only edible when bought apres club on Brick Lane as the sun comes up, and Guinness tastes better and better as you get nearer and nearer Ireland on the ferry.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

8500 on the clock and £2100. Mint is an often overused word, but its very, very clean.

Sold one of those when I got my Superhawk. Stonking motor but I didnt get on with the bike. Mainly I wanted a sport bike was the problem. Look up Wrist twisters website. They have a ton of info on them. I did 40,000ks on mine in just over a year. Solid bike. I have a mate with 100k miles on one and it goes great.

Just started the "T" for the first time in a month or so. Since the last Mallory track day. And she started up without having been on charge :biggrin

To be honest she hesitated and then burst into life :thumbup: today sees me take the bike down to Lloyds garage so I can get the rear shock pulled off and sent away and then the fun begins :) keep turned for the progress on the road going tuono turns track mille

Check all hose connections on tank and also check clips are nice and tight on carb rubbers :thumbup:
Pulling everything apart again too try and see if I can find anything, hoses were all on and correct, only thing I found is this

Would that cause the bike to run like sh1t and not rev and backfire badly?

or should I keep looking?
