I thought she'd be yapping away when we got our intercoms so was a little against them. It turns out I talk the most.

Isn't it lot to do with the piston wear. It's very light weight and a thin casting to start with so as it wears you're at risk of breaking a skirt off as it gains more play in the bore.

They are stainless but low quality same as most jap bikes.

Have to pay for the "type" of sex they want more like.

One of my work mates used to go to a lot of stag nights and Roger de courcy was at a couple back in the day with bollocks bear. He said he was very good.

My last dominator engine purchase was from a bike that snapped the chain. Because he was hard on the power the chain bunched up around the front sprocket and split the engine casing.

Sounds like it wasn't worth all that development.

In my experience it's always the cam etc that suffers, crank seems to manage the shortage. Unless you run it out of oil. Like the oil switch idea.

I was thinking about this today and came to the same conclusion. I have an old Hilka impact driver I used to use on fizzys and crunchies. Gone through quite a few bits over the years but the body's still going good.

You found the cause so all should be well. I undo the cam oil feed ever now and again, makes mess but does show the oil heading upwards.

I love a good conspiracy.

It's not the regulators, generators are at fault. Not really big enough so over heat and burn out.

Riding the Dominator today and while going through a couple of lanes I thought about the old xl600lmf I had. The engine was a bit tame for a 600, really under powered although it would get up to speed after a while and id would plod though anything. But the plush seat, soft suspension and the bike fitted me better got me thing about stuffing a dominator engine in it.

heeeeeeeyyy, ok.

I know but it was a great bike.

Size of it you'd be beating it for a good while. As for the big DR I remember a mate having one back in the day but can't remember riding it. Ship one over Bob, I need to know what it's like.

I said yes on the poll but the new tracer looks fugly. So tempted by another xt1200. Honda Dominators, not so fussed now I've had them for so long and know their list of faults. As for the TDM, I seem to go find another as soon as I trade/sell one.

Can I say, the less shit the car has is less shit to go wrong.

It's weight does matter as I've aged but it was more of what I could getup of a tankful that influenced my purchase. As for big bikes, once again age has mellowed me so grunt of overtaking something far outweighs out and out power so a larger capacity bike would still be attractive to me.

I was away walking the Dorset coast path with a nutty mate. Said mate pissed me off so I made my way home early. Walked in the house and the first thing Mandi said was "Diana's dead". Not, what are you doing home, want some food or even hello.

You're right Yen but it most of the older bikes. They seem to prefer a separate one now.

You look tiny on that

Wasn't Laa Laa a girl.

If you meant architecturally I'd agree.
