This Roadster 125 V2 rebuild has just been a little project over the last 2 years. I had another back in 05 when I first began riding in the UK. And I have to say, even that never gave me any stress. Guess I'm lucky with the make! I only sold that first V2 to part fund buying a 650. Anyhow, I was offered this V2 for pennies, as yeah, the seller had had nothing but hassles with it. In a bad state cosmetically, due to it being abandoned in a corner of his back yard for a year. But, finally back together and after a bout 375-400 quid, looking pretty much as new. The original XV only had 12K on it, so after a strip down and new seals fired up great (did have to buy a new st…

Greetings chaps, Finally bought me a biggie - for me anyway. Got an xj6 at the weekend and had a marvellous time riding her home, it's some difference from my beloved dragstar 125 I can tell you. Anyone else out there much experience on the xj6? Wouldn't mind hearing a few fellows opinions on the bike, especially as I've just come out of hernia surgery and ain't likely to ride for two-three weeks...booo hooo eh!

I went to watch some races in the VAGUE area when i was a kid, and was trying to see if the place was still going. Haven't found that one yet, but i did find This place, but it's up for sale now. Any takers? (Perhaps a drunken foamy?) I have no connection with this place WHATSOEVER, but thought it was random and cool thing to find.

Just what the title asks really? They seem to a nice coverup for unsightly spokes, however my concern is that they will trap moisture and muck causing the spokes to rust more and quicker. Has anyone ever used them or have an opinion on the matter? This is what they look like: and this video shows how they are put on, also helps to see what they are and how they work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWrAz7OZhsQ Not too sure if i'm sold on them.
