Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
 
Got a nice big cheque through from the Inland Robbers today for overpaid tax. :)

Had Mitch phone me to say that 3 rockers need replacing. :(

The clever-dumb balance has been restored.

Either that or she's upset at the DD bike getting all the attention...

Antonye, I know it well!
Just got 2003/4 tax year straight, waited 2 years for the rebate to come through, got the cheque the middle of last week. The day after said cheque arrived Mrs Ains. is driving to work and some dumbass drove into the side of the car. Very likely to be a write off, and since the car is only worth about 300 quid (but is still a brilliant little car) it looks like I'll be coughing up about the size of the IR cheque for another one. :o(
Not the first time either, I won a photography comp' a few years back. Got a cheque that exactly matched the cost of the new freezer we had to buy coz the other one frazzed itself.

Is there a mod for those rockers

Mello-Yellow 26-Sep-2006 09:47

Buy a testastretta or jap bike :D :D :D


In all seriousness i dont think there is a 100% cure. There has been lots of threads on this subject in the past.

It was a case of poor quality chroming from the factory which eventually got sorted out. New rockers should be ok.

You can have the original (poor) rockers rechromed but you end up with a harder coating that wears away the cams rather than the rockers ... which just ends up more expensive!

Oh, forgot to mention that our oven went ping at the weekend too, so there's an engineer on his way out to sort that as well ... it never rains, eh?

Luckily we have a double oven so could still cook the sunday roast :D
