It has it uses I admit, and one does have to hold their hand to the devil if change and progress are wanted. I'm a member of Thunderace group on there, as well as others, but I just can't get excited about fecalbook like other people can.

anyway, good work that man

anyone from Hampshire?

Hi all.

I live near Portsmouth and wondered how many on here are from the surrounding areas, if any. I don't see a lot of our bikes around but wondered if there is a secret meet up I didn't know about.

If there isn't, does anyone wanna start one up?

Sincerely,
It's an old British saying Squire, meaning to tune, to tweak, to adjust, to FETTLE. as you guys often say: Wrench. He's done a bit of wrenching on it.

Tasty bike by the way Urban Tangleweed

I have another quick question then. If she rattles a bit on 10/40, and nothing is wrong, should I now use a different grade oil? Go up 5w for example?

Any input greatly appreciated.

Tis a strange one. I did valve clearances not long ago. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, I know I'm probably due an oil change now so I'll start with that. I know there shouldn't be a problem, I did 79k on my Thundercat before I sold her on, and that was on original tensioner and chain.
