  1. Hey peeps, Since i am now buying/selling/breaking bikes as a hobby, i figured i may aswell try and make a proper go of it. CHECK OUT MY (UNDER CONSTRUCTION) WEBISTE!!!! XD Thing is, i know f/a about ACTUALLY starting a registered business... reading a few wiki pages which is better than nothing i suppose, would be great if i could get this thing all up and running
  2. Keep servicing that little engine and it will go on forever, the top ends have a habit of going pop due to lack of maintanence
  3. Still, better than having that money sat in a bank account earning 0.0001% interest, maybe in 20 years time the market for DTs will shoot up and a restored example like yours will be worth its weight in gold.
  4. i know the sort of bright intelligent people they employ though... has anyone ever tried it?
  5. I told you they were real! nobody believed me, but i said it all the time!
  6. would have been wing mirror removal if it was me, but then again i dont suppose you can get away as easily on a 125
  7. Hi peeps. Have a quick question, i have about 4 V5Cs and a couple of V5 applications to send to DVLA, would i be able to put them all in the same envelope and write a single cheque for the total of £125, or would i have to send them each seperately and write a seperate cheque for all of them?. I really dont want them to fuck up and loose it all. so how best should i go about this?
  8. Unrelated story: At work we have a piece of test equipment called an insulation tester, basically a small box that sends high voltage through a cable and checks to see that it is insulated (the electricity isnt leaking out), the leccys used to have a nasty habit of wiring it up to the door handle leading into the hangar, when they saw someone go past the window they would energise the handle and anyone who touches it got a shock... evil bastards.
  9. Hey peeps Would anyone be interested in some special edition Squires 2013 T-shirts? since it is the first time i will acutally be going there, i thought i could put in some creative effort and make it one to remember. I feel that there should be a theme to the shirts though, maybe a funny cartoon or something, would anyone be interested?
  10. brake fluid should just be a straight top-up, no need to drain it. Tyres have canvas (or sometimes steel wire) cords underneath the rubber to help the tyre maintain its shape and for reinforcement, cracks to cords is where the rubber has crack (or split/cut) down to these cords, if the cords are exposed they may have also been damaged and the tyre may fail prematurely.
  11. I'm not even going to ask how much that bike owes you, a restoration like that can't be cheap!
  12. Cheers nige, it needs a coolant bottle as far as I can see otherwise it was complete and running

    theres another pic somewhere of me running around bournemouth beach bollock naked, my "friends" thought it would be funny to bury me in the sand and then steal my shorts
  15. Cheers cynic, i may have found a complete (but partly disassembled one) from the same place i bought project popper from, he was asking about 700 but unless i can see it running im leaning more towards £500, is that too much/not enough e.t.c?

  17. Well peeps, the title is self explanatory.. What is a TZR125RR Beldarda worth in running but unrestored condition? i may have found an original italian import but not too sure wether it would be worth it

    You guys go first, im self concious...
  19. Fuck that!, some crazy filtering there!
  20. Im actually really enjoying all of these projects, each one is a bit different to the next. Hopefully one day i will live my dream of opening a bikers cafe on the coast somewhere, then expanding to include a bike and marine engineering workshop
  21. When i was with a load of mates on mopeds we used to play urban van art. basically, when in traffic, find yourself a dirty white van and (without the driver noticing) draw things in the dirt on the side, points gained for more detailed artwork, points lost if the driver gets out and kicks your head in.
  22. Was it a Highway to hell by any chance twincle? ... ... i'll get my coat...
  23. Hey peeps have picked up another little project to keep me occupied, Project mong has gone, the FTO has sold and hopefully by next week the Fireblade will have a new home aswell. Bought this from a dealer who got it as a part-ex, its a non-runner, previous owner said he was riding along one day and it just stopped, he then proceeded to take the side panel off but because he didnt know what he was doing he was unable to fix it, on further inspection i found it has spark and fuel but no compression... i suspect a top-end rebuild is needed (maybe just a rebore and oversize piston), also trying to source a new floor panel as the one on it is cracked Was thinking of doing a how-to video of a top end strip and rebuild, and possibly a few other simple tasks, any thoughts?
