Ho-Hum, the usual snake oil for the credulous and the gullible. If there was any truth in it, the laws of physics would be turned on their head and I'd be installing a small one, feeding the output into a bigger one and so on, until I had a power plant big enough to run a V12 Jag body but could...

Oh, for gawd's sake - this old crap again.

I've just found this page which might be of some help to you... https://sites.google.com/site/shelbyelectro/Mods-and-technical/general/throttle-repair It doesn't deal directly with yours, but points the way.

Outside my house, if I didn't know better. That road's typical of the roads around here, wrecked by heavy trucks two years ago, and patch filled ever since as the winter frosts broke up the damaged surface.

That's easy. Ride to your girlfriend's house.

... I don't think he wanted to do that. I was letting an elderly (but fit as a flea and experienced cyclist) have a go on my bike today. He was fine, enjoyed the experience and all was going well until he came back into the yard and crashed it. Turned out he was in the habit of twisting his...

There's no shortage of throttle assemblies on ebay and elsewhere... http://www.conhismotor.com/ProductsList.asp?iPage=3&id=122 However, I don't know for sure what would be a straight replacement for yours.

Inappropriate speed is dangerous. To say that "speed is dangerous" as a blanket term is simplistic nonsense.

Sure, "there is nothing to LOOSE". Gah!

I wish we (Britain and Ireland) could be a bit more like the French and Italians and just ignore EU laws which are inconvenient, instead of wholeheartedly adopting and enforcing them like good little boys. The EU isn't about people, it's about corporations and money.

Oh, for the days when you simply hopped on a train with your bike and took it for granted there would be a place to stash it; either in the carriage if it was off-peak, or in the guard's compartment (and often he'd let you ride along with it), when trains were real trains (and staff weren't...

We shall differ on this, then.

That's exactly why I do it first - the valve base gets pushed into the carcase of the tyre and clears the rim and bead, leaving the well open for the bead to sit down into. I developed this technique when I noticed that pinching occurred on the valve base if it was left until last.

UPS are a shower of ** when it comes to that nasty trick. They do it deliberately to inflate their revenue stream. It's very worthwhile grabbing the parcel from the driver and refusing to pay their Dick Turpin "fee".

Frankly, I don't think I'd do that, as the sight of mass panic and fainting as people were overcome with emotion at the sight of my Adonis-like body would be too much for me to bear.

That's exactly the opposite way to me. I do the valve part first but push the valve into the body of the tyre, ensuring it can't get pinched, then work my way to the other side.

I'm on my third Scimitar in twenty-five years. Great cars, sleeping classics and go quite well, even at an advanced age (it, not me).
