    Summer wear

    textile jacket is what I use with Kevlar jeans. longer journeys I wear 1 piece leather suit, unless I'm on the tracker and wear the above Always wear boots
  3. bet it was noisy too. At least it stops the kids train surfing
  4. Aldi had some the other month. you are better with soft panniers and a tank bag. If your stuck on getting a backpack, get a cheap one from Clas Ohlsen http://www.clasohlson.com/uk/view/content/search?N=0&Ntk=All&Ntt=backpack&Nty=1&D=backpack&Ntx=mode+matchpartial&Dx=mode+matchpartial&showTabs=true
  5. sorry to hear that Andrew, hope the missus gets better soon. you might have a virus over that weekend which will mean you can't work
  6. engines need to be used, so doing little roundabouts in the car park is not going to do the engine any favours. ask a mate to give it a good run out every now and then or better still, sell it to me

    Bike no 3

    thtas the way, make it a rider. Honda Gold is a nice colour too
  8. No rain for me today, nice dry ride out
  9. didn't get his name and he's not in the triples club, although he went to the FS1E rally few weeks ago. local guy anyway it is, cool so you don't need to undo tank bag. Glad tank is sorted now
  10. Though I'd pay a visit to Squires today seeing as the rain was in the west. Greta ride out with the usual stop at Holmfirth dodging all the David Froome look-a-likes. One decided to wobble an overtake a fellow cyclist just I was bearing down on him at 90, not even a pre-overtake glance back to give me a heads up. OK pictures or it didn't happen; GT250 nice laverda and a beast of an RGS, can anyone guess where you access the fuel filler cap? Z900 with harris exhaust nice KH400 did someone mention Bennelli Tornado in green? my FZ got chatting to this guy, who suprisingly knows Blackhat (who doesn't) got home and only got spat on (not by the locals, just the rain) so back nice and dry
  11. leave the picture on the website, that's where the location will be. img tags look like {IMG}{/IMG} had to use the squiggles either side of img, need to use [ ]

    nice, Andys bike services in Derby you need to allow 6 month for a full respray though as he's really busy www.andybikeservices.co.uk 07764 898222 and bring choc hob nobs
  13. if you shorten the shock linkage, it usually raises the bike up, longer ones lower the bike. I assume you mean that though. I dropped my fz forks by 17mm just to get the thing to turn and thats with 16" wheel. the rear is raised 10mm too. steers better in the corners
  14. always wanted a supercharged bike, now's my chance
  15. .........while chasing Pokemon
  16. Just right clicked on the picture and copy picture location. IMG tagged the pasted link in the comments section.
  17. This is going to be a back burner project as this has never been done before on an XS400. I've decided to try another approach to fitting the charger and this seems to fit (just) I may get away with a 90mm pulley system which will make the crank fitment a little easier. It will aslo facillitate the jockey wheel and leave enough space for the belt to be pinched. the fuel will enter the top aprt and exit from the bottom Mount/ manifold. not sure whether to have 2 out lets either side (which looks good)or go for a single side to plennum chamber
  18. nice bike the FZ750, jap bikes ran on unleaded from 1974
  19. robin. I tinker and ride ( have 2 bikes for that)
