Think the correct name is 'well nut' not 'gimp nut'

This is the kind of rubber nut I'm having problems with. The top par that acts as a spacer/washer has come apart from the rest of it Nut in its rubber gimp suit.

I'm trying to get to the indicator to replace it but I have a spinning bolt on the fairing preventing me getting to it. It's one of those rubber bungs with the nut inside that keeps spinning. I tried using a magnet to hold it still and shoving a screwdriver between the head light and fairing to try pin the rubber nut but to no luck. Any ideas before I give up and drill it out?

Bit of damage, but I don't have time to fix it right now. I looked it over the next morning and the hand guards smashed off, indicators hanging off and the shift levers curled in on itself like a snail, and for some strange reason the bar end that didn't hit the ground is gone. standard scratches, and I suspect the wheel alignment's out but will not know until I get a day off in Jan to properly look at it. Found a badger tooth where I crashed but no badger so he might have got up spat out a tooth and muttered a few swear words and walked off. that or he was recycled by the foxes and crows.

Is badger bashing a common occurrence? Imagine the biker wont come off well in a high speed badger impact. lol It f**king happend. Early this morning about 2 am came round a corner it ran across me and couldn't stop quick enough, Had to abandon the bike. I'm OK bandger and Honda ....not so well

We should find out who's doing it and booby trap there house. Swap shampoo for mayo, toilet paper for sandpaper, nuttler for dog poo, and glitter on every thing.

So is it dog walkers, horse Ridders or some exoffroader who was shunned by the community and is now pulling some Scooby Doo revenge shit?

I was kicked off jury duty because when they said to bring in the acused, I did a pantomime boo.

I think the Mongolians and Genghis Khan weren't to far off. A man found in possession of a stolen horse must return it to its owner, add nine horses of the same kind. If he is unable to pay this fine his children must be taken instead of the horses. If he has no children then he must be slaughtered like a sheep.

What's the best way to deal with these angry people? I once had a horse ridder yelling at me when I was out jogging once "you shouldn't run near a horse". shouldn't have a horse on the road then oldcow.

what an excellent way to keep new members on the forum at the end of the day everyone has their own opinion on each model of bike granted some are good some not so good but to make the whole forum look bad is down right rude as far as im concerned........................................and on that note i guess i better go for the night before i step in more horse shite He did call us beautiful

My first bike was a lexmoto aspire. Pros: cheap to fix, lightweight, simple bike to learn mechanics on. Cons: cheap parts, bad fuel filter, rattles itself loose if you dont keep an eye on it, electronics and upgrades drain power and you will spend a lot of time charging the battery of you don't do over 5 miles on it everyday. Break caliper came loose mid ride once. Had to clean out the carburetor a lot. Tank cap was crap and leaked in water often. Alarm drained the battery so I had to remove it in the end. Any secondhand lexmoto will last you a week before you have problems. Brand spanking new one maybe a year. Invest in a good sexond hand Honda or Apilla, but wouldn't recommend lexmoto.

As this has turned in to a post about justice, what your thoughts on this. Next town over from me had to close the roads off after a guy was tied to a car (or dangled out the car window) and dragged the lenth of the road ( about 1/4 mile) before being run over and left for dead. He died obviously. And the car was used for the hit and run was found burnt out a mile or two away. All the info I have heard are from people who knew (or knew of) the victim, so might not all be 100% true. Everyone saying its gang related but not like the Mafia more little shits in hoodies. But that's not just murder that's torture aswell. Thoughts?

MCE but because it was a third party at fault its going threw Plantech. Who have messed up the paperwork about five times now. I have signed more paper work than I can count.

I dont understand it. They call it salvage value, but then there is hardly enough scrap on a bike to get £100 at a scrap yard
