Most of us are savages anyway

Apart from GC of course he is an educated gentleman fallen on hard times...

Welcome - XBR / SZR / SRX etc are not obligatory just a little ubiquitous

Mmmm my bad spelling of ubiquitous turned us as an option - Over cautious....

Hi Allan,

Yeah, all welcome here - search the threads and you'll find discussions relating to the Savage - we were discussing a Manx Norton with a Savage engine only last week.

The guys on here are helpful with all things thumper (or bikes in general) related. Bring the Savage posse to Dent for the Annual Rally!

Cheers

        Hi Alan. Great to hear from another Savage fan.I don't have one but have been considering getting one for a few weeks now.I would be gratefull for any pointers you can give me,anything to look out for.I've heard they can have cam shaft problems but mainly because they haven't been allowed to warm up properly.

Of coarse your welcome. We're far too polite to mock the afflicted :-) If it's a bike with one lung your welcome here. Come to think of it, we even welcome a couple of twins and the odd stink wheel too :-?

Thanks all for the warm welcome, I suppose I'll have to join now, Dent does intrest me and my son so we will see how things go,

Toad, camshafts not the problem cam chains are or at least the adjuster, they can fail as low as 14.000 miles any unusual rattle/clicking needs to be looked at straight away, need regular oil changes other than that there ok, if your local to Manchester, come and have a chat, possible test ride?

Yep, all welcome, even member 002 who has just bought another twin :)

(and fitted a big bore kit to his Boxer, whilst his Enfield gets neglected).

Right, is that enough cats amongst the pigeons?

Cats and pigeons in this post, sheep and deer in the one futher up. I'm worried about you lot!

Still, as an ex-thumper owning, 2-stroke and twin rider I'm saying nothing. They make me feel welcome and of the current stuff in the garage you'd really only say the camping stoves would be of interest to half the club!

OK.

Men cook with petrol and gas canisters are the work of the devil and all his little wizards: Discuss

Beg to differ :-) My experience is men start to cook with petrol - can't get the bloody thing going - then niegh on burn their tent down when leaking fuel ignites spontaniously - turn into sooted and burnt whimps and borrow their mates gas canister to finally cook their food whilst explaining to the gathered throng of doubled over hyenas why petrol is better on the slopes of Mt Everest! (snigger snigger snigger!)

Gas- simple to use, just like me and my bike  :-)
