I once had a CB100N and the choke lever[PULL UP KNOB]broke off so i had to fasten a small bolt to the existing cable and use that.It worked perfect so i didnt bother buying a newone….How tight is that…
Take it easy out there
speaking of which..One of the down pipes on the 2 into 4 exhaust on my GSX1100 snapped just as it entered the balance box; and I couldn’t afford a new exhaust at the time, and it was in a really bad position for patching up. I didn’t know any welders so I went in my garage, found a chrome tube off a Vax carpet shampoo m/c, cut a 5″ pc off and stuffed it half and half into the downpipe and the balance box. Clagged it all round with exhaust putty and that was it job done! Passed its MOT and sounded great; there was one strange side effect though………………..

‘When your Gixxer smells good, the room does too
Every time you vacuum, remember what to do’I really fancied the Shake and Vac lady back then.
I used to fancy the OXO lady the one before the Bellingham one; and even now whenever I use an OXO cube, It reminds me of….
Receipies for other uses for OXO, like a nice hot drink for example!

A few years back, when Dave rode 1100 virago, the engine dropped down, as Dave was going along, he had our daughter on the back. Managed to stop it OK. 10mins later some Hells Angels in a van stopped, and between them fixed the bike for Dave, a pat on the back to those bikers from Bournemouth. Now that was the cheapest repair job we’ve had.

NEW BIKE ON FRIDAY!!!LOVE IS GIVING SOMEONE THE ABILITY TO DESTROY YOU, THEN TRUSTING THEM NOT TO.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, VODKA in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!
