The same people who openly admired the changes / improvements which I made to BSA's efforts now all say "It's not original" I here ask who cares ? If I intended to sell the machine (after owning it for over 40years) I would realise more cash / asking price by reducing it back to it's boring original BUT while it's still mine I like it the way I have it.

hi everyone. whats the best way to sell my DT50?, i dont want to try ebay because they have all these buy it now fees, final value fees, reserve fees, starting price fees e.t.c and there is no guarantee i will get a good price for it and i dont want to sell it for £150 and then be left with no transport and not enough money for another bike. Ad Trader charges £6 per ad and has a 40 word limit, so that is pretty much ruled out of the equation. is there any cheap advertising media that is well-known and gets a lot of views that i could post my ad on? ive posted an add in the for sale section and on some small free advertising websites but i doubt i will get any res…

Hi everyone. the new Jawa 350 i bought doesn't have a V5c, and my dad has told me that if i get a reciept with the bike explaining that the documents weren't found when the bike was sold and that it was boguht from a deceased estate (i.e. it belonged to the dad of the bloke i bought it off) then i would not have to pay the £25 fee for a new V5C is this correct?, if so how do i apply for a V5C under these terms? regards Steve

hi folks just a quick question(s), can sombody tell me what the exhaust balance pipe actually does? (apart from the obvious). i now that the four branch manifold on a car is set-up in a particular way (say pot 1-3-ect) is this to help the scavenging of fumes from the cylinders? if so how does it work on a 4 into 1 on a bike? i am going to make a set of pipes for a V4 honda {sorry for the langauge} ,(2 x 2-into-1) and want to know if i need this pipe, any help/advice would be gratefully recieved. thanks

Hello I have just bought myself a Yam WR250f. Its a 2005 model, Imported into this country and road reg in 2008. For some reason it doesnt have a brake light or any wiring for a brake light ! I have searched on the net and it seems that this is normal in the united states ? Anyone come across this before and is it a difficult job getting a working brake light ? thanks Chris
