Raptor Chapter

I learned all about police honesty when I was seventeen. Booked for doing 50 in a 30 limit at 11:00 pm-ish on a deserted cold winter's night back in the 'sixties. Over some distance I can't remember (x tenths of a mile, back then, I think). Taking my girlfriend home from my mum's place. Same route, ...

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!! Cool quote, Dizzy. …Any mirrors on your ceiling or pink champagne on ice? :blush: …Lots of pretty, pretty boys that you call friends? :evil: Well, hope you got the Mercedes Benz. :nod: On vinyl (nostalgic and nice bass): http://www.yout...

I just wanted to pass this on to anyone else in the UK with a buggered back. I took delivery of one of these on Tuesday: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1000-lb-Hydraulic-Bike-Motorcycle-motorbike-Workshop-Lift-Ramp-Bench-workbench/251200195084?_trksid=p5197.m2280&_trkparms=aid%3D333005%26algo%3DRIC.F...

I too, have too much time on my hands, so I wrapped "code" tags around your table data, which means the tagged text is displayed in a monospace font - which means that blank spaces and letters all take up the exact same width on your screen, and you can then force things to line up: 17T 1...

I like your style bear you should become a writer ,interesting and informative(maybe too much) :blink: Thanks, Shed. But it's more of an affectation. Or affliction. Or both. :( So, guess which is my style, Shed. I think "bar" means "bear" here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R0...

The sprockets are not in direct contact, so the number of links in the chain affects their frequency of interaction, the "same tooth, same link" potential Oh. Someone noticed my great omission. :shock: I had enough trouble getting my head around the "hunting tooth principle" and...

I was wandering around the Triumphrat forum (some may remember I imported a couple of old 650's back from the USA a while back on account of not having enough to do :lol: ). There are some pretty well-informed old-time engineering types over there. Anyway, I came across this: "I converted the e...

Came across this cool gearing calculator… and it includes Raptors!!!! I couldn't find any previous mention of this site here. Apologies if it is old news. http://www.gearingcommander.com/ (The reason for coming across it will become apparent with my next posting :shock: Hint: I'm thinking of upping ...

I bought a gel-pad seat from some "specialist" in bum-pain relief. It came inside a nice little pouch with long velcro bits to go under the seat. Total waste of money, as it turned out. And it wasn't cheap. The stitching tore where the velcro was attached to the pouch and riding with the t...

Any chance of having this as a pdf, Crap?

My version of Word is so old that I cannot even use the Microsoft converter program, which requires Office 2004. And I use a Mac.

Sounds like the system needs the brake fluid replaced (just in case you have moisture in the fluid, which could be vaporising at the high temperatures near/in the calipers) and some serious bleeding . Check these links: This is "our" thread http://www.raptorchapter.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1...

I needed to replace just the orange lens on my 1000 and Rob Sturgess at Mito Mondo supplied a couple (one spare). http://www.mitomondo.co.uk 01425 650034 rob@mitomondo.co.uk Haven't needed to use him for ages. He works out of his garden shed and specialises in the buzz-bombs. Good luck getting hold ...

Going back to the original question… I've bought a couple of items through Rob Sturgess at: Mito Mondo (in a shed at the end of his garden in Fordingbridge, Hants). http://www.mitomondo.co.uk As you can see, he specialises in the buzz boxes, but he did get me a replacement radiator via his contacts ...

Just wondering.

Looking forward to a blast this weekend hopefully!! So it's you that's keeping the weather so bloody cold, then! :mrgreen: There was one day two or three weeks ago when the temperature was quite mild. I tried to go on-line to tax Rappie, only to discover that I had never received the latest red V5C...
