Seems a bit extreme mate, did you not get anything sorted with the bike in the afternoon?

I know you were busy taking it to bits and fiddling with stuff when we turned up

Check the valve clearances. I can't see them loosing you that much power but if there not opening / closing enough you won't be burning as much fuel/air as possible, hence down on power.

It might be worth checking the compression on it. grinding valve seats is fairly easy if you have an understanding wife and can do it at at your kitchen table..

Sounds like a good session for all and a bit of a kick in the nuts for you Hamster - bugger.

Nice pics too people - any more or footage?

I have another video of a rather loud harley on the dyno I can put up, alas I don't have any more videos of any of the other bikes on the dyno.

A Honda rider, a Ducati rider and a Harley Davidson rider were all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze after a long day’s ride. All of a sudden Saudi police rushed in and arrested them, impounding their bikes in the process. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offense in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the booze, they were sentenced to death! However, after many months and with the help of very good lawyers, they were able to successfully appeal their sentence down to life imprisonment.

By a stroke of luck, it was a Saudi national holiday the day their trial finished, and the extremely benevolent Sheik decided they could be released after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip. As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheik suddenly said: "It's my first wife's birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping."

The Harley Davidson rider was first in line (he had drunk the most), so he thought about this for a while and then said: "Please tie a pillow to my back." This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went through. The Harley Davidson rider had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain when the punishment was done.

The Ducati rider was next up (he almost finished an entire fifth by himself), and after watching the scene, said: "All Right! Please fix two pillows on my back." But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes before the whip went through. The Ducati rider had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain when the punishment was done.

The Honda rider was the last one up (he had drunk the least), but before he could say anything, the Sheik turned to him and said: "You ride a Honda. You support the greatest motorcycle and car producer in the world. I myself ride a Fireblade and have many Acuras in my fleet. For this, you may have two wishes!"

"Thanks, your most Royal highness", the Honda rider replies. "In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes!"

"Not only are you an honorable and powerful man, you are also very brave" the Sheik says with an admiring look on his face.

"If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish? What is it to be?" the Sheik asks.

"Tie the Harley Davidson rider to my back." The Honda rider replied

Harley davidson died and went to heaven and was boasting to god how he`d created the best motorbike in the world! ,god disagreed saying bmw`s were a better designed bike ! , harley said "what the fuck do you know about design , you created woman and look at the problems we have with them !!! god says "i think you`ll find a lot more men are riding my fucking creation than yours!"
