Pikey in a Transit? It's entirely likely that he 'had' used his mirrors and was aiming for you. Years ago, I had a mate who did'nt quite manage to avoid a "Traveller/Van assassination attempt". Inside five minutes, half of his site/family had arrived to "offer thier assistance". ...

All the seriously powerful Boxer engines that I have seen have not used any sort of balance pipe, but have joined the two main pipes a lot further forward than BMW do. One of the main reasons that BMW do not join the pipes at what appears to be optimum place is for ease of servicing (you can't chan...

Best I sell the BCR and buy an anodyne Jap inline four then... I was soo looking forward to an interesting technical problem too. Seriously though, your link appears to have provided the solution. One of the guys has removed the crossover altogether and reported improvements at the top of the rev ra...

The exhaust header is on my target list for the winter season break this year. What shape would a the manfold have to be to increase top end power?

Hi everyone, just catching up... @DT: The bike is straight (apart from the 1/4" or so front to back runout that they have by design). It's something that I checked a while back and occasionally throw a string over to just make sure. I suspect you can see an optical illusion thats set up in the ...

I think thats a BB-Power chip (like what I have on the BCR - think mine might even have come from motorwirks). If so, they do have a selection of maps to switch between that give slightly different power outputs/torque curves. I've worked up a rotary switch so I can jump between them. I'd certainly ...

Some pictures from the day. It was plain from the relentless hammering on the top of my tent during Sunday night that we would have a wet start to day, and that's exactly what happened.

Hi Joe, Glad to hear that you 'aint too banged up. I'm no expert on shoulder injuries (ankle smashes are more my bag) but I bet it has to hurt a bit by now. You did hit hard on the floor (like a sack of spuds going down). Mind you, I stopped paying attention at that point - too busy trying to stop t...
