This looks to have happened to mine last night. Driving down m6 and I lost drive, thought it had jumped out of gear, nothing, no matter what gear I selected. Rolled to a stop on the hard shoulder. Strange rumbling from the gearbox. RAC had me home in 45 minutes. I'll have a look tonight. Is this an...

given the frequency that these connectors are going to be disconnected, I will tape them all up while I am in there. The bike works 5 days a week throughout the year, all year. So I value reliability ! It certainly gets serviced (by me) more than the minimum but i certainly dont take it to bits to l...

The number plate light is not needed for the MOT. Although i recently decided to get one after several years of not having a working one. Motorworks sells one with some sort of precious metals in it, with diamond encrusted terminals. Tiny bulb, £14. :shock:

Thanks Gents for your replies

I have replace the fuel filter errr maybe 3 years ago and remember the fun involved. So i will check the wiring etc, hopefully its just that - i am not sure that R1100s fuel pumps have a high failure rate.

Time to find the multimeter

fuel pump ?

Just overtook a car on the A23 last night, then..... nothing, engine dead. Quick clutch in and I'm in the centre of the road. Nice. The bike cranks over, but no fuel pump noise, no fuel smell when cranking. All the other electrics seem fine All fuses in the little box on the LHS are OK, cannot see a...

Re: Finally ran my first Marathon!

I finally ran my first marathon yesterday at the Marathon of the North in Sunderland! Clocked the hilly course in 3hrs 21 minutes - well chuffed! Not too shabby for a Trixster that used to be 18stone! http://gallery.me.com/stoney45/101292/IMG_0910/web.jpg Was even more chuffed to have some beers la...

In Love

Out in the park, I saw a girl, she was beautiful,

Our eyes met,

I walked over to her,

Sparks flew,

On the grass, we made love there and then.


I love my new Taser.

The Local Authorities have different opinions and they are entitled to. So best check with them, especially if you are going to change the front elevation to the street. Its not a habitable building so building regs dont apply, but obviously it should be structurally safe. I would recommend a dampro...
