It seems to have garnered more news than what's going on in Crimea, I guess because it's a mystery. The worst case scenario does have to be considered, BUT, I'm of the opinion that there is still a glimmer of hope that everyone on that Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 could still be alive. What...

Hi Guys, If anyone has any real advice then please offer it, if you just want to take the piss out of me then feel free, I can take it.... (I'm just interested to know how much trouble I might be in) My 22 Year old step son has been driving since he was 18 or 19 on a full license. a couple of...

Hi all, Having used the search function, I know this topic has been covered in various guises but hopefully I have a slightly new slant on it! I'm replaicng the chain and sprockets on my bike after just shy of 14k miles. Not too impressed with that, previous bikes have lasted much longer and...

i've heard cat litter can be used instead of rock salt. i have 2 posssible theories on how it works :- 1 it simply adds more grip to the slippy stuff. 2 it encourages all the local cats to p##s on it so melting the slippy stuff. if you have any more ideas please comment.

I came across a level railway crossing today. The red lights were flashing but the barriers showed no sign of closing, the 2 cars in front of me just drove through. What do you do in this situation? stop or go? Please dont tell me more theories;)

Just a quick run through in reverse order for those that missed the awards ceremony itself. 2007 XRV Pool Champion went to MidlifeCrisis for a staggering 8 ball clearance from break. 2007's Most Controversial Post(s) Cup went to Shep for his conspiracy theories and politico-financial verbal...

I posted on here the other day about a possible new TA, and now the post has vanished??...gone??...disappeared into wherever posts go. Was I too close to what's going to happen.:p :p I've never been into conspiracy theories... so Mr. Mod...what happened??:confused2: :confused2:

spent a while looking at all of the past posts about engine vibrations - seems like there are a lot of theories, with many agreeing that it might be a twin thing and others saying that there bikes are the smoothest things ever. I have an increasing vibration from about 4500 revs - carbs are...

Hi My RDO4 cut out yesterday,all lights etc were still on,when I tried starting it again the starter only clicked then all power went off.on removing the sidepanel Ifound the main 30A fuse melted into its holder,suspect rec/reg would be the root cause of this but any one else any theories...

Apologies for this one, it's probably really simple. Under front braking my RD04 seems really snatchy at low speeds, possibly its just not as noticeable at higher speeds. It's sorta intermittent, and if stopped, when I pump the lever there seems to be varying amounts of resistance. I'm a bit...

Anybody got any theories on correct revs at gear change ? My feeling is low revs say 2700 to 3300 the gear change is smoother and less clunky than at higher revs but the bike is sluggish . Higher revs equates to rougher gear change. I am refering to first 2 gear changes . What tends to make...
