Well, you cant stay away for ever can you. Its been several years since I was here and had any contact with some of you good people. I'm still riding albeit an R6. The old fazer turned into a garage bound project that I never got round to fixing. There were some cracking times on the old board - I missed out on yuku entirely lol. I 'm pleased to see a lot of the old names still here too.
Looking forward to catching up on the mischief

Earlier this evening some scrotes got into the shed at the bottom of my garden via the unlocked (and unlockable) door that leads into the garden.

Fortunately they triggered the alarm on the motorbike making them run off. Unfortunately they panicked and kicked their way out of the back door into the alley way.

Stupid idiots could have just turned the latch on the yale lock!

Now I've got a busted door that I'm going to have to pay to get fixed  :2guns

So. I bought a NAS drive to (mostly) keep a backup of the lappy. All going great, apart from a few folders won't copy across using SyncToy2.1

Looks like a permissions thing (80070005), and the folders do have read only access on them - thing is, I can't take that read only attribute off! I go through the motions, Vista does the same, but when I look back at the permissions again, the read only attr is till there.

Anybody have any ideas as to how I can make Vista do as its told? I'm logged in as admin, and I've tried running winders explorer as admin as well. makes no difference! Help!

Spoke to Neily recently ( I think...) and figured that another burger 'n beer sesh is overdue.

How about trying out shortarses suggestion of Broadwood farm?

Tuesday or Thursday next week?

Those in favour, say aye.

Hi there,

Looking for a pair of rear footpeg rubbers (or footpegs) for my Fazer 600. Let me know if you have any spare 

Thanks,

Claude

[size=1em]When I serviced my bike I topped the oil up and started the engine for a few minutes and then the oil level was sat perfect. I noticed once the bikes been running for half an hour the window completely fills and stays full for a while, I've ran the bike for a few weeks with no problems.

Shud I drain some oil or just leave it? [/size]

come on so many questions to be asked

... a KTM 250 exc  "top end" rebuild might be.
Sons 2009 engine half seized. The KTM dealer investigated and declared the top end rebuild needed. They quoted £2000 just for parts but to be fair they said he could get it done a lot cheaper elsewhere.
I know it depends on how many of the parts need replacing but can any mechy types give me a ballpark figure? 

Any idea's on stopping the ignition switch sticking on my year 2000 Fazer? i've not used it for a couple of days and could not release the steering lock let alone start the bike?
i know its the original switch as all the keys match apart from the one i bent this morning trying to free the switch off  :\


the best option in the long run would be replace it, but any advice would be appreciated.


thanks in advance
