My wife was born there...my father in law lives in Sacreston.

You are miles away..lol

Stop leaving your fuel tap on...if nothing else if someone robs the bike it is a ballache for a newby to switch it on the move!

No-one has heard of Durham despite it having a cathedral and university?!

My girlfriend was born near there.

Brad Anderson current MX1 british motocross champion is from there (Towlaw Technically).

My oil stinks of petrol, but my bike has the HRC tap mod done (Its a track only bike) and luckily for me it leaks in the off position

When cold petrol will flow past the rings only when warm will petrol not pass the rings. thats my understanding of it anyway. dont think its as drastic as you are thinking.

Good luck

the lad at the garage is confident its not burning oil and the sticky stuff on my plugs is a combo of carbon build up red ex and neglect (lack of servicing)

he also said to get rid of the exhaust thats bodged on as hes confident thats my splutter problem-its a scorpion can from a cbr600 and its litterally just slotted over the bit where the 4 pipes go into 1
