I was ridding last week when I lost power and after recovery by the AA and an engine drop and strip it seems the cam chain jumped off the crank shaft sprocket, luckily it seems there is little damage other than to the casing and chain, but wondered if anyone else has seen this and as I believe...

I was heading back in my car from a liitle croft up the road which sells free range eggs ( You know the type, money left in an honesty box at the back door :cool: ) Just passed a small house on the left hand side when this little West highland terrier shot out in front of me. Stood on the...

Just venting my anger... Rang Bennetts to get insurance on my AT they quoted £77 tpft which is fine. I then told them I wanted to insure it on the chassis number as it is an import and not registered as a UK bike yet, which would allow me to legally ride it to and from the MOT station. The quote...

Cleaning up a few bits whilst i'm waiting for a replacement rear shock, i thought i'd clean up and re grease my AQ linkage and this is what i found :o : I'm waiting to hear back from African Queens to see what they say. They only give a 2 year warranty on their stuff, but i think...
