So what have you done today..?

Petrol

 

Good for nasty trainers also

 

Getting on with the Westfield, almost there now.
Mrs is not happy as I have said I want to do another one. 9

 

Surely three is optimal: one to use, one as spare, and one in the wash!

 

I don’t think her indoors would agree! But I like your thinking.

 

Well done you and what was the problem in the end?,also those new pipes are they attached over the link pipe as opposed to inside.?

 

The new pipes are indeed attached over the previous sections as they should be - quite why a Ducati dealer would sell & install 45mm pipes to a customer when his bike has 50mm pipes is beyond me.

The misfire was due to a poor connection to the horizontal cylinder injector, caused by the retaining tabs on the cable that plugs into the injector not retaining the cable thus the spade in the injector just pushed it back rather than engaged each time the plug was connected.

 

That gives me something to work on for the winter period before i farm it out.

 

Why? Do you have an issue on one of yours?

If I’ve linked it correctly, post 241 here

Lols, you reminded me of the time I filled my mates boat with petrol and was standing on the fibreglass deck, one foot either side of the flush filler just pouring it into the whole from a 20l container. Anyway I sloshed some on the deck and by the time I had finished pouring my cheap trainers had turned into a toxic gel prob more like napalm than anything else! Took me fooking ages to clean it off!

 

@brettski had nice birthday trainers that his missus bought em. She set fire to em whilst he was wearing em...she thinks it ok coz she paid for em.. im not so sure if it works like that....

 

Yes i've a technical problem on the 916,after 6k RPM it hestitates / cuts outs then kicks in again....i have asked on here,but given up now asking,but i'll read your's out of interest to see if the problems / symptons are the same as mine.

 

Apparently I was being unreasonable having the hump whilst on fire

 

You do sound very ungrateful!

 

I decided today that it is really annoying when people use the same word twice in the same sentence

 

the quick brown fox jumps over... that which is.. a lazy dog

 

Living just 40 mins away, I’ve always wanted to visit just out of curiosity.

 

There’s definitely something (Someone) missing there?




Ah Katrien!

 

Aged 15, I fell in love with Katrien. That poster was my pin up in my bedroom.
Scroll forward decades to 5 yrs ago when I next discovered the picture.
But now, being an old fart I fell for the bike, which caused me three years of angst building my version, a tribute to Ben Part’s bike, the original Zagato Guzzi
