Hitchcocks Forum

Hi guys-------------hoping this is ok to post ?/ New USED EXHAUST SYSTEM bought from a fellow Bullet rider (called ROD) just fitted today between the snow showers here in TELFORD>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

thats a LONG PIPE ALAN looks like the indian market silencer i butchered for the helectra ,p.s always have filters in my pipe!!atb paul.

Hi PAUL------- yes, it's from an ELECTRA but obtained as SECOND HAND from a bloke wot I know who's on the MBR forum ( a non-profit making, contact organisation I believe ?/) and lives in BIRMINGHAM...... He also SOLD me a lovely SECONDHAND downpipie ..He told me HE BOUGHT it from our jolly hosty people (I love their sense of humour !!)quite some time ago.. It sounds just lovely but without too much "upsetting folk" about it--- Now I need to BUY SOME MORE bit 'n bobs-----but just WHO to go to ??.. It's a difficult one this (smiley----smiley-----smiley )....Cheers guys !!!(This post may contain NUTS)

Job done to the highest standards by the look of the selection of tools - mostly hammers by the look of it!!!

Hi PETE F, ------------- Yes, the rubber ones also have a nasty habit of bouncing back and scoring a "direct hit" on the old snozzle ( eye zpowse do tink dat's fuddy ??)------- It was done, start to finish -- between 2 snow showers ie approx 1.5 hrs.... and ALL in the best POSSIBLE taste!!!!

i missed all themhammers its the only way to make em fit ,i bought a full 350 hitchcocks system at newark aj and transformed it with loads of weld and bends to fit the diesel rigid unfortunately no pics but it will attend many events throughout the year so some of you lucky people will eye ball it one drawback of having a full system on is that when i over fuel the bike on hill s i can see the glorios black smoke through the halcyon bar end mirror ,talk of smoke its white the new pope has arrived and what do we say? (we like the pope cos the pope smokes...a pipe)cogh cough!!atb paul nearly forgot the diesel will be at stafford on the saturday so check it out if you can it,l be in the field ploughing ....parked up!

OH -----------WOW------->>>>>>>>>>You fitted a Bullet 500 exhaust to a 500 Bullet with only ----THREE Hammers !!!!! ----- Thats just -------AWESOME !!!! ----- you must be some sort of DEMON TECHNICIAN ! >>>>>>>>>>>> its always takes me FOUR HAMMERS !!! >>>>>>>> PLEASE POST MORE PICS !!!! thats just fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and please tell us more just how you did it ? can you show us step by step so us IDIOTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can possibly follow in your AWESOME >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>footsteps !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! perhaps a slide show at your NEXT MEET !!!!!!!!!??????????

Hi guys and hello ARTHUR, ------------- glad to see you taking an active part in this forum, and freely expressing a point of view with much gusto !!>>>>>>>>>>>>> though judging by the syntax I think ARTHUR may be a dear old thing of an "acquittance" of mine from a Midlands based, Bullet named forum, hmmm ??? No matter--- the great thing about these printed forums is that you have to take it all at face value, so as your words are complimentary I say "thank you very much"....A note to all readers}---- As Allen Hitchcock knows I originally started a similarly headed thread in order to make contact with the chap I bought the system off..( I'd lost his e-mail details), and wanted to show him the system fitted.. Unfortunately it came across as if I was advertising a product and so it was withdrawn.... I thinned it down and tried again--- hence the "Filtered" part of the title...Our mate GRUNDA knows the reference about a Pipe for a Non-smoker ie my bike compared to his diesel...So there you are then...Simples really (like me!!)

i,ve noticed another hammer how unobservant of me ,alan i though the prayermat story would have spurred you on to some amusing nonesense ,p.s i,ve never come accross a skilled mechanic who didn,t have a great selection of hammers i have 2 lump 1 14lb der,2 smaller hammers 2 rubberhammers and 1 very small hammer for good measure the reason for this is that due to my condition i often loose things temporarilly anyway never knock a hammer have a nice day!!!!!!!

Hi Guys------Health & Safety notice}--Please read the following in a light-hearted and jocular manner ??}------GRUNDA, Yes, I did see that "Lost prayer mat" thread, but haven't quite got A ROUND TUIT yet !! >>>>>>>>>>>> "ARTHUR", a slight TYPO in my last post------------- that should of course read "Acquaintance">>>>>>>>>>>>>> NOT}---- "AQUITTANCE"...Sorry about that old bean !!( Turn of phrase there, not meant for offence !!)....Now,as this is the SOCIAL / OTHER section, I must refrain from your request for me to divulge the secrets,technicalities etc. of changing your exhaust system on a 500 Bullet using only 3 hammers instead of the 4 that you admit to using....although a PERSONAL TUITION session could be arranged if you so felt the need, eh ??? (wink-wink, nudge-nudge.... know what I mean, Squire ??).. Finally,I don't view THE REST of the contributors on this forum as IDIOTS........At this point I wish to draw a line under this particular post and move on...>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..'Nuff said..
