Cynic

Everything slice said with one extra.. Treat every corner, junction, overtake that you cannot see clearly as if their is something already coming the other way. Sage advice from my dad that saved me becoming part of the spikey thing on the back of a turning tractor. If i hadnt eased up some for the bend i doubt i would be writing this. Congrats on the test btw.

Nah. If his lunch box was stuck in the pannier i bet there would be a high pitched scream..

Sounds good, I'm gutted I missed it. The club is spread countrywide so any presence would need to be properly worked out between ourselves but it is definitely something that would interest many of the more active folk on the forum. I'm probably one of the closest to the venue (makes a change), and it has certainly piqued my interest, all of my bikes are well past 20 years old, the youngest is 28 a TDR250 as well as a dt175 and a CB175t, that last one is 45 years old. I have by no means a monopoly on pre 90's metal. I knew john would be interested.

Im not into cruisers but that has a really good vibe. Just enough bling but subtle understatement too. Matt paint, flat hubs. More mods on there than you can see i think. Need the cruising fans '' to tell us though. Whoever had that prevoiusly had a good eye. Most times the look like they were dipped in glue and run through the sparkly shop. Nice. Bet slice likes it.

Second thread in the for sale area.

Well folks suppose its time to rattle the branches. Who will be going this year..

You might want to do a new thread. You will get a better response. Plenty of people will help. If the bike is somthing you plan on keeping then a 12v upgrade may be the way foreward.

J21 of the m6. Or J11 of the M60. Off the A57. South west of Manchester between Warrington and Eccles. Used to collect from James Irlam hauliers which is on that estate..

Buying a DT100 was out of the question then?

Haha. Have you watched the subtitles on that video.

I thought the same, Le Blank has the right kind of humour. Looking forward to the Grand Tour, more money and fewer rules should make it a riot.

Does yours have a powervalve engine. At that age it may have. Dt was a bit behind the tzr in the pv que. Too old for any of the reed switch stupidity. Most of these have been destroyed by teenagers. There becoming classic. If it is fitted with a pv barrel is there oil leaking from the left hand side? I think i would consider upping the gearing one tooth on the front.

I had my toolbox screwed down to a scaffold plank when I left school. No biggy?. They locked the box then turned the board upside down fitting it on the first floor level so I was looking UP at the box from the floor below.

Parrallel

Ah, apologies. Its one of the jap ones. We only got the parallel twin here. Never seen a v twin Honda 2stroke.

Just adding a little to the above. Be careful when your drilling, go steady and keep the drill lubricated as you are cutting a hard material and a soft material and the drill will try and drift into the softer lever. Go slowly and it should be ok,

Checked your cain recently?

Need some specifics cos the yams are classics with loyal following where the Honda dissapeared cos it was dull. Not faster, not more reliable, not anything really. Honda stopped making them. Pulled out of 2strokes entirely AND pushed the 2 stroke out of racing. Yep Honda had a big hand in that. All because they couldnt make a good one to save their saki.

A2 licence is great and you have soooo many options in the world of motorcycles. An R1 is very much a 1 trick pony. By the time you have some saddle time i doubt it will have the same appeal.

To show off. Your hardly shy and unnoticed on that tank las.

Would you like a pine or oak coffin. Not joking. Things like that r1 can go to shit in a heartbeat. Have you had as a tiny example: Tail slide Front slide Tank slap Highside Lowside Unintentional wheelies Locked front Locked rear The list is long and exhaustive and they all happen a fuck sight faster for far less effort on a 1000cc sportsbike than smaller stuff. Me? Biggest i have owned is a 600. Ridden a 1200 and a vmax. Never felt i needed more than the 600. For what its worth i have a 250 and 2 175's and if you only just got your test you will kill yourself trying to catch my TDR if its ridden fast. Last choice is yours. You may be the sensible 1% but most of the motorcyclists you see will have done the 125. 250/400 to 600 then up route. Do you really want the hassle of a bike that fast. Unless your thinking FJ that makes more sense and get what you like in a cruiser as their just for show. 125 to 1000. Its a no from me.

Never pulled one of these apart. Only cars and 2 strokes for me but as a rule you will need to make a couple of tools up or buy em. Clutch holding tool and a torque wrench with a good pair of circlip pliers. Normally the gear assembly hides behind the clutch basket so all that will have to go. Once off though its just a case of sliding it out. This rarely if ever happens though, its a case hardened shaft. Are you sure its not just the gear lever that has worn (normally is) or the bolt is lose. You could sand away some of the material on the bolt side of the gear lever to allow it to be tightened further another option before pulling the shaft would be drilling a small hole, maybe 4mm through both pedal and shaft (with a good drill bit and lube) and split pin the bugger.

Easy, Cornwall has 2 major roads. One on the Atlantic side of the peninsular, the other is well, the channel side. Channel highway sounds a bit naff. And A30 and A38 get a bit dull. Esp considering the A38 can be called many things as it runs in an interesting meander right up to Derby and beyond. I'm considering riding down the southwest on the old A38, there is a cheap campsite on Atlantic Farm (guess where that is) and it would probably take a day or two. Running through Worcester and Bristol, Bridgewater, Taunton, Exciter etc, seen how many times the junctions of the M5 lead on to the A38?

Seriously, detailed instructions for changing the gear selector shaft. You have a manual?

Oh, I see the confusion. Look at the top, its written in American. Well at least what Honda thinks it is.
