Re: Aaaaagh F@#%!

Have put an ad in Wanted as well, but let me know if you have a replacement set of 750 barrels I can clean up and bore to first oversize. Ta. Edit: Never mind: bought some. If anyone needs good standard size pistons I have a set. In the meantime I've removed the broken bits of fin and black plastic ...

750 barrels

Following my crunch in the garage, I need a used set of 750 barrels.

All fins intact, please, but bore condition unimportant provided they'll clean up at first oversize.

Anyone got one before I snap up the set on eBay?

Re: Aaaaagh F@#%!

I bet your wife was as gutted about it as you were! Considerably more, I think. I'm very pragmatic about this stuff... she's a lot more emotional. I'm over the shock now; it's just something that's happened and needs to get fixed. She's still very down. Mind you, it's her brand new Fiat that's take...

Two blokes talking and one says to the other "My wife crashed through the garage doors this morning and destroyed my motorcycle that was parked inside", his friend says "Oh my God, was she hurt?", the first guy says "Not yet, she's locked herself in the bathroom!". :lo...

You'd think, wouldn't you... Apparently some models have a clutch interlock, but not this model...

Re: Aaaaagh F@#%!

She's a bit rattled but we'll all get through it. It's only stuff in the end. Car insurance have taken car to repair and say they'll pay for damage to bikes and will send an engineer round to assess. Only thing they're not paying for is the garage door, which isn't terminal, just needs kicking strai...

Aaaaagh F@#%!

Bought my Mrs a new Fiat 500 a few weeks ago. It's done less than a 1000 miles. This morning, -3 deg C and frosty, car parked outside the garage, she goes outside to start it up to defrost it. Unfortunately, when she'd got home last night, she'd left it in gear with the handbrake off. No, she doesn'...

Re: 550 Headlight

Have you replaced the entire headlight unit, or just changed the "bulb"?

Pics and links?
