Powerdynamo wiring

Oi oi chaps

just on with wiring up my TS 250, it came as a box of bits and all I have done is bolt them back where they should be. Anyhoo it came with a vape ignition but it is unlike any that I have fitted, it has an external pick up and also has a wire that has been split and fitted with eye connectors.

is this to allow an external kill switch? Will I kill the vape if I connect them together and try to run it?

you input would be appreciated.

Yorkshire section meeting

Oi oi chums

This plague thing has hit again, after 15 years meeting in the Marsh in Cleck the new regime for  entry/ meeting has forced us to find a new venue. Whether this is a temporary move or not is for the future to tell us.

We held the section AGM at Ponden Mill cafe Stanbury on Sunday and it was decided that for the foreseeable the section meetings will be held here. Same pack drill just a different location.

Second Sunday of the Month from 12.30

Any peripatetic meetings in warmer weather will be notified to the masses.

Krampustreff 4/5/6 December

Oi oi chaps who’s up for some winter camping?

The much anticipated Yorkshire section Krampustreff is now open for booking. Sadly booking is necessary due to traceability,limited camping and catering facilities.

The camp will be in North Lincolnshire

Due to the lack of facilities in the area ( the pub closed in 1889) the camp will be self contained.

the camp costs £30 and includes

2 nights camping

gluwein/jäger tea on arrival and welcome pack

2x evening meals

2x breakfast

snacks/biecuits

unlimited tea/coffee

local beer on honesty bar but feel free to bring your own.

The site has a communal cabin with a stove and there will be additional gazebos on site for shelter.

There is a lot of nothing in the area but the winding roads are excellent

please contact me to book a place, details will be given after booking.

be there or be elsewhere

Yorkshire section meeting 13 September

Greetings chums.

the Yorkshire section meeting for September will be held at Ponden Mill cafe, Stanbury near Haworth.

from 12.30

the cafe is opening specially for us, sadly there will be no hot food available but scones have been promised to soak up the copious amounts of tea and coffee.

There will be a run out to the meeting starting at 10 am from the Brown Cow in Bingley. The route is dependant on who arrives but will be small roads and possibly some easy off road sections.

If you like travelling faster than an Es150 please plan your own route and meet us at the cafe.

Ts tank dilemma

Hi, I bought a ts tank last week which was delivered on approval. The tank is fine but there were no contact details on the packaging to make payment and I can’t find the post now.

I’m feeling guilty, can the seller please contact me.

Sorry, to compound things I have forgotten your name as well.

Stripped exhaust thread

Greetings all, the thread for the exhaust collet  is damaged on my etz250. It tightens in and seems fine but works loose when the bike is ridden. I have drilled the head and fastened it in with lock wires but this hasn’t worked. It seems that the thread is jumping and coming loose leaving the lock wires intact. Anyone done a successful bodge? Don’t want to strip the engine if I can do a temporary repair. It’s a pain to get out, I have to take the sidecar off.

Yorkshire section August meeting

Greetings kittens,

after the spectacliar success of our last section meeting at Howstean gorge I have arranged The August meeting. We will be assembled at Ponden mill cafe. Stanbury near Haworth. We had a camp here last year and all who attended were told they had enjoyed it. Future camps are plague dependant .

the cafe is opening specially for us from 12.30 on the 9th August. Sadly there will be no sandwiches or hot food but Barbera has promised fresh scones, cream ,jam etc.

There will be a ride out again using the finest local wiggly byways. Starting from the Brown cow in Bingley and leaving at 10 am.

please fight any urges to come on sports bikes as there will be sections of easy green lanes. Plus you would get very bored travelling at minimum velocity.

small amount of green lanes are part of the route, nothing desperate. I have just been round on my ES150 on road tyres.

plan to be at Howstean for 12.30/1

Wainfleet rally cancelled

Sadly the Wainfleet rally at Batemans brewery has had to be cancelled.
Due to a fire at Charles Hancocks house all his camping gear has been destroyed.
The road kill cafe is a charred mess, most people thought of it this way anyway.
No Hancocks were harmed in this tragedy 43E69255-10B7-47E7-AA7C-5C18476F9954
