Bang, clunk vibrate

Dave,
Glad to hear Ian is slowly improving. Please send him my regards.
Carl,
I remember my chain seemed to come to the end of its life quite quickly. It was ok for the first 20,000 miles or so (with a Scottoiler!) then started stretching almost as fast as I tried to keep it to the right amount of play. It did make a lot more noise towards the end as well! It made a real difference to the quality of the ride afterwards once I replaced it.
Regards to all
Trog
PS The 2005 rideout sounds interesting - I might sneak along on the Triumph if that's ok? Me and Dave/Jo can form the ex-sv group! Interestingly I have bumped into quite a few ex SV owners who now ride Sprints - it's still a bike with character!

what are bottle jacks? i know what sky hooks are, i've got a few in my garage

Glad Ian's on the mend, shame about his bike, must be wortha few bob, has he sold the v max as well?

take a look at www.machinemart.co.uk for the jacks and yes he's still got the max - just to look at (along with the norton commando, norton race bike and TY175 trialie )

he's one of life's hoarders who never sells 'owt

cheers for the well wishes guy's I will pass your thoughts on next time we see him

ok, sorted the vibration, turned out to be my double bubble screen at certain revs. sorted that with a bit of plastic wire casing

but the probem i have today is my speedo, and rev counter stop working.

i've noticed this a few times before but only happened for a second and usually when i'd hit a bump.

today i'm on the motorway and it stops showing anything for a good few miles.

Bike still runs ok but with no clocks it's a bit scary, i didn't realise how much i must look at them when i'm riding.

ANY HELP GREATFULLY RECEIVED
