When I swaped them for pattern ones on the 750 I had to lube them to get the panal on and then catch the left hand panal in mid flight on the A14

My brother and I managed to get it started today and it dont sound to bad a slight tap when cold but I think it has always done that.
Airbox,Turbo,intercooler,all pipework and 1+4 full of water. Loads of compresion so hopfully it will be OK.
I think I may have got away with it.

I was running low again today. But I need not worry as I drowned the van in a ford before I ran out.🙄 I have come to the conclusion that the AA know nothing about engines as the first thing they did was turn the van over even though I told him it was hydro locked. It went with a donk then dead his response was can't do nothing with that got in his van and left. 6 hours later I'm home.

Shame as the Honda is a smart looking bike.
I should think it does feel bland after the triumph though.
I like the idea of another triumph but I don't like the dealer's attitude.

Sad news indeed. He enjoyed trying to push my buttons.
Who is going to throw abuse at me now for owning Italian bikes.
The rear light fell out of my aprilia last week near Stansted he would have loved that.

Why should teaching assistants be seen as essential workers? I'm a subcontractor for a large well known university. If I can't do my job the students can't use the building witch means the teachers can't do there's.
I can't afford to sit at home but I'm not prepared to sit in a queue.

I haven't gone to work today because I can't get fuel anywhere.if I'm lucky I have a day's worth left in one van and two in the other.working outside with the changeable weather it's just not worth risking waisting it.

The wife’s new car turned up yesterday, on probably the most appropriate day of the year so far.



There a great car James I have driven a couple of customers strangly the modle x has a better range then the s.
If I didn't need  van I would have one.
Its hard choosing a vehicle for work if I have a nice car or van people think I'm charging to much but they need to be new due to the miles I do.

Just got back from the shops and bog role is out of stock again.
Spoke to someone at the end off my road who drives less then 50miles a week and you've guessed it she sat in the queue for fuel she does't need.
What the #@%$ is wrong with people

Just got back from Cambridge the roads are manic. the trip should take me just over an hour today its taken just under three.
I'm so sick of idiotic people.

I have always hated people that only bung £10 in there cars and don't get me started on people that stop on the forcourt jump out and just buy coffee.
I only use the van for work and get through a tank every 3 days I don't need these selfish gits using it up.

I can't wait for the day they make an electric van that has a decent range.

CB750 / Re: HM341 exhaust system

I have had my a set of 341's on the bike for about 8 years now and never run oil through them and they are fine.
I take them off once every couple of years to clean them properly.
But I did once have water come out when upended after the bike was laid up for a year.
Getting the bike nice and hot on a long run is the best way to prolong there life.

Predator motorsport are just off the M25 after potters bar from what I remember.

Are they importing the pipes? as they make most in house.
I have had Predator stainless pipes on my Aprilia for about 15 years and can confirm they are excellent and make a great noise on a big thumper.
