    Thanks everyone, some good advice as always.

    I never thought of needing gloves! And am a little surprised that the Nundle boys use them ;) … having said that I think I’ll be getting some though.

    Iva; you’re not going to die of cancer, you’ll just have really dry old prune hands :laugh:

    TB; I cant make Coffs unfortunately, damned OS work commitments! :angry:

    Thanks again everyone.

    Those cunning Nundle Boys, they were telling me it was OHS but all the time they was thinkin’ of how thier Goats would react to prune hands !!
    Clever goat herders!!

    Oh, the Nundle boys all wear gloves for the process which is probably a good idea, when i die of cancer you’ll know they were right!!

    I only use turps. If you can afford to it cuts drying time.
    Just keep rinsing in fresh lots of turps till there is no residue in the container and no colour in the turps then dry. I like a 5L ice cream container as its easy to clean out – which you need to do after every rinse or the whole process is pointless!!
    You can recycle the turps for the first few rinses by pouring off the stuff above the sediment from your wash container back into a old turps container and letting it settle then pouring the cleaner stuff off the top. Make sure you do the final couple of rinses in virgin turps (you know, turps made from freshly pressed virgins!!) to make sure no fine material stays in the filter.
    Two filters makes the job easier as you always have one dry and ready to oil!
    As for oil, I am of the old skool persuasion, I like filter fix which is mineral based (not water) so tends to stay put on the wet rides.
    Cheers

    Ok after a bit of Googling I solved the problem, there is a weep hole behind the water pump that drains the spark plug umm “cavity” in the rocker cover and head. It is sealed from the head by a small gasket on the rocker cover, this had a small tear in it that was allowing oil to enter the spark plug “cavity” them flowing out the weep hole onto my fn boots.
    Replace seal issue gone…..

    I’m about to take part in the Great Bankstown Run. It’s not an official race, I just stand in the city centre & shout “Allah is a Tosser” & then off we go….

    A government survey has shown that 91% of illegal immigrants come to Australia so that they can see their own doctor.

    I got sacked from my job as a bingo caller. Apparently ” A meal for two with a hairy view” is not the way to call no 69.

    I’ve just fitted strobe lights in the bedroom. . . . It makes the wife look like she’s moving during sex.

    Two Thai girls asked me if I’d like to go bed with them, they said it would be just like winning the lottery! I agreed, and they were right. We all stripped off and to my horror, we had six matching balls!

    A Muslim has died whilst training to be a skydiver. The BNP School of Diving said they had no idea why his snorkel and flippers did not open.

    Such an unfair world:- When a man talks dirty to a woman its considered sexual harassment. When a woman talks dirty to a man its $2.50/min (charges may vary).

    Just booked a table for Valentine’s Day for me and the wife. Bound to end in tears though; she’s crap at snooker.

    Met a beautiful girl down at the park today. Sparks flew, she fell at my feet and we ended up having sex there and then.
    God, I love my new taser!

    Got a new Jack Russell pup today, he’s mainly black and brown with just a small white area. I’ve called him Bankstown.

    If you get an email telling you that you can catch swine ‘flu from tins of ham then delete it. It’s spam.

    They say that sex is the best form of exercise. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think 2 minutes and 15 seconds every 3 months is going to shift this beer belly

    Not a great weekend for me, three flats Fk’n hell. Still got some good riding in, has anyone mentioned the dust yet ….
    Thanks to Boony and Snow for the trails and good company, King Bolls for the Latte Tour on Sunday and assitance with organising various activities, Damnus and Polly for sweeping (these blokes are both Bloody legends!) and the 20 or so Ol Bulls who helped me with various flats. No flats in about 6 years three in one weekend, go figure….
    Thanks also to Mr S Nagle from Tamworth Cycle Tune who offerred me a 19 inch tyre off one of his bikes (shame mine was an 18) still the spirit was there so I bought a full set of tyres and tubes from Cycle Tune (even though they were Orange) on the (aborted) Saturday to get me going without failure on Sunday.
    My first Ol Bulls ride, to all those who attended, what a great bunch of blokes!
