happy Birthday, 30 eh watch out for that rain

that is the finished product sacha! you don't know foams very well do you?

cheers, I got an Airkix voucher and a segway safari in Delamere forest from the family.

I met a guy on a motorised cycle he built himself. yes he had to have an MOT and be taxed and insured.

not my cuppa tea, but I'm glad you've found one to your liking. good for when the snow in winter too

there's one in Belgium coming up soon, is that further south for you?

I'll wait till thursday Bips

that's why i liked my cx500, you can warm your hands on top of the cylinders and you tucked your feet in behind them giving your boots a nice warm feeling. that's why the couriers also liked them

they do one in stafford to, with the same shows. get the weather and its a good day out

£160? bloody hell. just got mine done at Manchester Xtreme for £130 fully built for 2 wheels inc semi stainless spokes! there are two angles for the hub, start with the inside first then the outer part.

no, don't use grit it may embed into the alloy. can you post it to TSR vapour blasters in Southhampton?

bike related!

moved to tears...

nice to see you back you old fart. I pretend to be 50 but inside I'm, a lot less than that! I suppose it the 70's ethos, keep music live, Punk and mega strikes from unions. no-one stands up for themselves anymore, my kids just take what's offered instead of thinking for themselves. I tried to instil some rebellion in them, but they just conform!! grumpy rant over

aircraft stripper is the only effective paint stripper left. Its supposed to be for pro use only, but I'm sure with your tenacity you can get some. I bought some POR strip from Frost restorations, which worked well too.

having extra weight on the rear does make the front more skittish so wind can be an issue, but as you lean forward some weight is transferred to the front balancing it out somewhat. all bikes do vibrate as there is not a lot of metal to absorb it like cars do. the sweet spot is the speed where you ride at, and certain RPM out of that vibration range.

nice them trumpets, why not keep the R6 and "acquire" another blue bike

the trick id to get the same colour. Then the missus only sees a "red bike"

thanks for the Birthday wishes peeps

cool Beef, keep it up. I need to visit brad to do something to the Gilera frame for me.

RIP Gail, its always sad when that happens

looked a great one, saw the Axe and beer and thought Oh Oh, heeeeres Daddy!

cheers bud, I got tons of cards and a nice bottle of Vecchio Romana today
