Strange happenings with my bike

Hey! don't diss the Man-Skins...Stubbies rule to fashion world anywhere in NZ

Sick bastard.

You guys must be talking about midget whores?

Those ones are half price.

Say, would obstruction of the air filter intake cause the hiccups and loss of power, mainly while at motorway speeds?

The starting issue is probably a separate issue altogether but I found a velcro tie on Tuesday night, about a foot long and it was right in front of the air intake under the seat... Must've been there all this while but I never spotted it.

I took her on an hour long ride around the suburbs and not one hiccup, burp, fart or snooze... Go figure...

It's strange, I never saw that velcro strip in previous inspections, only in this last one where I found it. Took the bike again for an hour long ride around town. Again no issues...

Tomorrow commuting to work will be the last test to see if this has all been because of that one little velcro strip.

It may come to that, it just may...

While I am not adverse to that course of action, the problem is that it's time-consuming and therefore expensive to have George come and look at the bike trying to track down the problem when it's so random and intermitent.

I was so happy two weeks ago when it died and couldn't ever start again because that meant George can finally come and pinpoint the problem. But the bitch... I mean, bike then decided to start up again the day before he's supposed to come.

Yeah, like I said, the bike's bloody behaving like a woman: "Hey big boy, wanna go for a ride? You ready? Not now, I've got a headache! "

...if the RF hears you talking like that, I'm fucked ya cunt!

What's an RF?

I'll swap you my Volvo for it Tig!

Volvo?! Hell no!

Or, send it down here and I'll sort it out

Thanks, appreciate the thought...

One of my bikes did some funny things and it turned out to be cable lube in the run stop button from doing the lube from the carby upwards to the throttle control. Lazy with lube can cause problems in the ride.

"Run stop button"? Is that the kill switch?

Funny, that's wot she said too!
