a brief Joey anecdote from former Honda team boss Neil Tuxworth: "Joey never used many spares.I remember Carl Fogarty used to have a brand new clutch every race when he raced an RC30 with us. Joey used one clutch for three years! Of all the riders I’ve worked with, Joey used the smallest number of parts of anyone and he never had many breakdowns either. I think that was simply down to his neat riding style and the fact he understood engines. One time he rang up for some piston rings to rebuild one of his bikes. So the lads in the workshop thought, ‘if he’s doing a rebuild he’ll need a host of other bits.’ So we sent him a big package of parts, pistons as well as rings, gaskets, lots of bushes, seals, that kind of stuff you need for an engine rebuild. A week later this package comes back virtually untouched apart from the rings, with a note in it from Joey. It read: “I only wanted f***ing piston rings.” To this day I can’t believe any racer would be honest enough to send back any parts he didn’t need."

Aaawww, I was looking forward to that...

Not coming round yours for rice pudding then!!

Good luck with that swing arm bolt, I would cut off old chain , and split link the 520, its a 250 ,[ 4stroke = 18 bhp] job done 15mins,,

Sorry Guy's forget to tell you about this and its only got 2 days left on BBC iPLayer Road, story of the Dunlop family brilliant and rather sad too. see Michael in a different light now

Thanks Gents, im located in N Yorks. And it is indeed a power valve.

Our summer came slow ,but this summer was pretey good and this fall is making up for it esp the last few days near 20's and sunny was out most of the day yesterday .Been to the northern beaches this morning,home for a quick lunch and then back out to hit the south beaches.Hope this fall keeps right like this nice to have the full gear on and not sweat at all.Might even need to change the back tire if it keeps nice,was just going to leave it till spring but it's just about down the wear bars.Even the local tracks that normaly colse this turkey weekend are staying open till the end of the month. Happy Turkey weekend

Seller is from California so that will be the ECO one then !!!

I'm with john here. A 250 single 4T hardly going to pull the skin off a rice pudding

Meaty, yes I was one of those pesky nippers on a Fizzy (1974 in Walton...)

Looks like mine.... mine leans over too, but this photo below, with the Givi rack on , she's sitting on a block of wood to show her upright.

I put it in the van for the retest (footpegs missing and rear tyre on wrong way round). However got it home and a quick first time ever ride round suburbia with mot/ins in pocket. Passed my full A licence just over a week ago. Felt good! S.

Thanks drewpy would have missed it, yes got to agree it was brilliant and sad too, Robert and Joey what fantastic riders.

had a long day at work so the cure? go for a ride. Always puts me in a good mood

I used to work in a strip club in soho when I left the Navy Steve, only £10.00 a week. Not a lot but it was all I could afford at the time.

I'm in. If I win (fat chance with Tommy in the game), anyone wanna buy an Xbox?

Thats the latest Watsionion side car.

Ask big kev [ up yours] hes the Rimming expert on her,,,

very happy for you

All I do is pack all the connectors with dielectric grease,keeps 100% of the water out, terminals stay clean and corrosion free. Mo less the same as vasoline but made for the job dosent harden over time.

vasaline will do it too, that's what Kev and foams told me the day after

Wouldnt his best/easiest option be to cut the old chain off and fit a split link? Its a 250.

unless we can travel to the future, not yet
