Couldn't agree more, on all three counts! I think there is a certain level of "help her because she's a girl" but I also see many, many cases where blokes help other blokes on here - and HEAPS of genuine people who will help any biker. And yes, there are those who seem to think that because you even glance their way it means they can get in your pants - and they do generally fit the stereotype of young, brash and stupid. That's their problem, but it can become just a wee bit tedious. As for the gay-bashing and other exhibitions of intolerance, I find it useful to remind myself that there are still elements in our society who are that closed-minded. I don't know any in real life, but it's good to come on here and go "wow! These people really do exist!"
i wish i got to see N.I.N!!!!!

Winston Cheers Winston, Your correct they're supposed to be straight and complete. It's down to valve float caused by over revving as described the earlier blog entry about the 08 BoB. This is the best possible result post valve failure, trust me!

Just my opinion I'm not looking to spend $$$$ (as I don't have it), just make the bike better quality overall. She's been put through her paces the last 15 years and needs a bit of TLC to say the least! Rust removal and suspension issues are my two big projects, much as I'd like to really pimp her out....
Hello Bikers Just thought that I should give you an update on the Wire Rope Barrier shields that I am developing. Ran into RED TAPE in September, it turns out that I cannot even mount my shields onto a Wire Rope barrier to trial them until the Manufacturer of the Wire Rope barrier gives me permission, As of last week I have managed to obtain permission from 2 of the 4 manufactureres. I am talking with one of them now about running tests, they have offered the Wire and Posts to me free of charge, I still have to find out where I can run the preliminary tests apart from the Wigram facility which charges about $ 40k per test. I will keep you updated. Regards Non Biker
