Re: Like Riding a Wheel Barrow.

Yes, you'd think frame or forks might be bent. That would explain it perhaps. But, to the best of my knowledge both have been jigged. Fork links might be worth a look perhaps. That was something I hadn't thought of, and the front end is a story in itself. Sometimes it doesn't feel like it wants to ...

Re: MB adjustable Kickstart

The MB Lever is very sturdy and functional. It gave me a much longer kick. Once set with a touch of loctite, the adjustable step hasn’t moved.

But, it’s hardly good looking and the actual pedal is at an angle towards you. That looks a bit odd to me but maybe it was designed specifically like that.

Re: Disc brake locating stud, fine thread - where to buy?

As an aside, every toolkit should include a Pitch Gauge. Cheap and a very easy way to find out what pitch you are dealing with.

Re: LCGB AGM ref BLOA

When you say you have heard a transcript, do you mean you have heard a recording, or have you read a transcript? If it was a transcript, was it the one in JetSet?

The reason I ask? Well I never kept any notes of the AGM but I suspect you have used some poetic licence here in your comments.

Re: Having a pub "discussion" about top speed

A few years back in Scootering, Sticky rode a standard electronic GP200 against Al Terry on a standard Rally 200. If I recall correctly, the Rally 200 edged it, speed wise, maybe even acceleration wise.

Re: LCGB - BLOA - Concessionaires......confusion

Storkfoot, the 2nd IPO finding was thrown out with the first, this has already been said. I'm glad that you wrote about lies, the speaker told many, For a start he didn't even know the clubs name, I've never received any letters from the LCGB, it's a club not a business, my partner isn't involved i...

Re: LCGB - BLOA - Concessionaires......confusion

Part of me thinks this thread should be locked pending the second IPO finding and, maybe, any subsequent legal action. However, I don't for one minute think that'll happen whilst the "hits" on this thread mount up for Mortons, sorry, Scooterotica. So, I'll chip in with a few points too but...

Re: Chiselspeed Panel Filter

I tried one on my series 3 GT186 with PHBH30 a year or so ago. The panel compressed the foam, essentially stopping airflow and strangling performance. I think they are meant for motorbikes which would have room to house them without compressing the foam. Unless you have lots and lots of room between...
