Raptor Chapter

LOL, yeah the hipsters do seem to be dead set on resurrecting brown as a colour, seems like they don't remember the 70s. Or was it the 60s?!

Looks pretty good, but the cowl from pretty much anything with a round lamp should work. Have a look around the site for the paint codes and get it painted to match, maybe? I can't see any skinny front struts on that front mudguard - has somebody taken the easy option and removed the bits that keep ...

Meh, Ducs are like arseholes & opinions these days...i.e. everybody has one! They've definitely lost the "exclusive & exotic" cachet that they used to have before they invested so heavily in their sales & marketing arm.

Wow, 10 years and counting, that takes "prevarication"to a whole new level!

OK, new question, show us yer artwork for yer tats!

Holy epic thread resurrection time - do we have a winner?

Show us yer tats!

Thanks sheb, looks like you caught both days of summer?! Pix could be more incriminating, but maybe you're keeping them for personal purposes. Poor show from the lads! I think I need a new tattoo now, I don't have a bike one yet, I'd been planning a big manga version of my beastie but a celtic round...

Ah yes, makes perfect sense now. In my drunken stupor I wasn't sure if "pot" was engine cylinder or brake caliper cylinder, at the time it seemed feasible that "choke hanging" and "siamese" were some new-fangled terms that hadn't made it to the colonies as yet. It's alw...

I don't want to nag as I know you're all busy, maybe I can just leave a smiley hint?

[Hic!] After two pints of iced tea I don't understand the "front pot choke hanging up at the siamese bit" part. But any acco that is mainly a learning experience is a comparitively good acco, so I'm glad about that part. (That's Aussie for accident, by the way, Down Here we put "Oh&qu...

Hah, you got me there for a sec. Yeah rim stickers have never floated my boat, but then again I care more about riding than washing usually, and stickers would just piss me off if I put them on only to get them slightly Scottoiled. If I ever do my wheels it'll be to "Scottoil gunk grey" fo...

Yup, what they all said, sounds like you should both be in good hands, I'll take a second pint of iced tea while you get busy with your camera...

It can be really easy to clear,just pull off the breather hose and carefully unscrew the "bleed nipple thingy" from the plastic tank. At times like these the search box is your friend - type something like OVERFLOW or BREATHER into it and you'll probably find many previous discussions.

Nice work folks, glad you're all back and I'll join ya's in a pint o'that New England Iced Tea if the bar's still open, whatever it is I bet it's yummy!

Om nom nom!
(Yup, I see lots of tasty ti, nice work as always)

If she's sat for ages then I'd guess it's probably the pump, but as the fuel pump and the injectors both use their own relays and they are the same then you could rule out the relay by swapping over the two relays that are the same under the seat, the yellow one is the main relay, the one in the mid...
