Shutdowns on twins.

Yeah I know, but its heart warming to know the new ones have started to have a few problems too. I believe the 2002/2003 955 engines have a small oil leak by the front sprocket and some have blown head gaskets. Class.

Bet the slipery Japs couldnt do that, its all to do wwith the name you see.

Oddly enough dont see any Jap diving stuff as yet or is that my un-trained eye. I assume as an Island race they do Scuba diving.

Kawasaki regualtors Matt,they were basic regs but very good apparently.A little before my time but everybody I've ever heard use them says they were very good.
Anyway,3 words to make you realsie they're not infallible:-
Honda cam chain.

I heard about Kawasaki's the other day, no spares available now though so they are junk (pun!).

CX 500 - tell me about cam chains etc.
I was thinking more along the lines of reduce an old name to rubble, sell it off to a completely new enterprise, many years later and what happens the new machines have the same characteristics as the originals. Spooky.

Real bikes for real men, fall off, bash it back into shape with a hammer, with great names, Tiger, Thunderbird, Bonnie.

l always thought my old Tiger 110 was designed with an automatic oil dispencer to stop it rusting.

My boots and legs of my jeans were kept waterproof by the thin spray of oil mist.

Incredibly easy to carryout roadside repairs, which was handy because it was always breaking down.

Howard,Matt and I have talked about this before and I reckon that Diving has now gone the same as motorcycles,a fashion statement with many people doing it that should'nt be.Nice shiny clean things that make life sooo easy..
That'll do,I think &nbsp; .
Modern bikes (Italian generally...not a great suprise though no matter how much I like them)still have wobblers like that,difference is that the hammer you have to use now is a Gold American Express card!

They are BAD (Born Again Divers)

As many danglie things they can get and a Buddy Rebreather to match.

They use Force Fins because the slower they go around Stoney the more people see them

Thankfully they don't go in the sea, not enough PADI OW students to watch them

Mmmmm....maybe the DIR reasoned debate was a waste of time.I think that YD divers are just anti-establishment!
Roll on the revolution........

PS I especially like it when they put death stickers on them or skull and cross bones. Can't wait to see 'my other car is a ferrari' LOL

[Hobby]

Best one I ever saw like that was on a Porker 911,it said,&quot;My other car is also a Porsche&quot;.I was quite taken with that.
I might get some official looking(eg.BOC) ones made up for my twins saying something like,&quot;For cleansing use only,do not inhale&quot;...just for the laugh.Dive with me then you buggers! &nbsp;
