Hi need your advice for serious problem! I suspected for some time now that the misses has been cheating. The usual signs; phone rings, if i answer the caller hangs up, going out with the girls a lot... Anyway last night about midnight i hid in the shed, behind the motorbike when she came home & got out of some ones car she was buttoning her blouse & took her panties out of her purse & slipped them on. It was at that moment i crouched behind my motorbike & noticed it... a hairline crack in the engine mounting bracket.. Is that something I can weld? or do I need to replace it?


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Chemical metal or JB weld might do the job

being an engine mount, it'll be under quite a bit of stress.. Might wan to get the lump out and have it done properly.. Don't think JB will be able to sort this one. :smt012
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Sorry - didn't mean JB weld ... I meant that stuff Tim uses to glue tanks back together.

Silly me :smt053

Id be more concerned whether the car she pulled up in is leaking oil on the driveway or not

It runs a "total loss" oil system.. On the plus side, when it does stop leaking, it's a good indicator to get more in the tank..lol.. :smt005 :smt016
