Default When the bike won't start........

Call up a "heavy" friend.....................

(I have a military base 100 meters from my door)

I could have hit him with a baseball as he went over my house.
Bloody rotorwash nearly knocked me on my ***

Don't know about the bike not starting, but I can help out with non starting lawn mowers, I'm a bit of a 'dab' hand at sorting those . I had a lawn mower that never used to start properly many years back. I came up with a fool proof, gauranteed 'fix it' tip for ANY mower that doesn't start that I'm more than happy to share.

I had put up with this annoying little machine for about two years. I changed everything that may have been causing the issue. It had been to the repair shop more than I had cut lawns with it. One day it just flatly refused to start.

A mate was round sitting on the garden wall givin me heaps of she-ite about it. I had more than had enough of this little mechanical disaster after about an hour trying to get the liddle ****** going. 'BINGO' I got it! I casually got the fuel can, poured a decent amount of juice on it and as I walked away, flicked a match.........WHOOOOOOOOOSH!!!

No more mower, no more starting problems, no more stress and most of all no more lawn. My mate fell off the wall laughing his head off in utter disbelief. I just continued walking inside to get a beer and a smoke, ahhh the relief of solving difficult issues.

Problem solved...............phvckin mower never gave another moments grief, and thats my 100% gaurantee how to solve any non starting mower issues.

I only have one minor flaw with this fix it. Does anyone know how to solve the 'angry wife' syndrome this fix it tends to create??

But as for your bike not starting, Shadow, um dunno if this is a recommended 'fix it' My advice would be to get a cold beer (or several if your serious about thinking about it) to take time out to have good think about it for awhile. Cheers

We have an air base about 5 minutes up the road. They were doing touch and goes in the summer and it was driving the neighborhood crazy. Sun up to late in the night, three planes were going around and around. The local government told them that they had to stop after 11:00 PM. I understand that training and flight time is needed but it was a little out of hand.

That damn whirlybird you have there can break windows.
