wild foamy Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 hi everyone. felt like making a somewhat nostalgic thread for all you more "vintage" riders out there, about the various tips and tricks you learnt to use when it wasn't as easy as ordering a spare part from your dealer and you had to make do with it or mend it. these include tips such as: - Cutting base gaskets from cereal box cardboard or .20 gasket paper. - Rubbing half a potato on the inside of your visor to help prevent it steaming up. - heating up the spark plug before-hand to help start your bike if it had a weak magneto any other tips/tricks?

Ttaskmaster Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 What's a chimney? What's soot? Is the first one like that hole in our Mud Hut roof to let the smoke out?
