is this a marmite bike?
It looks tidy, albeit from a distance and one angle. It doesn't look like someone got a cheap bike and tried to turn it into something it is not. To me it is a simple, cheap, conversion so works.

Sorry Ken, I don't know. I don't green lane. I guess it depends if it is rock, mud, grass etc and if it is ridden to and from the lanes. Have a look here LINKY, put in the wheel sizes and you may get some options. If I dropped the TS on the exhaust side, it is a write off.

GB and the EU
Unfortunately they are all the same. It must be hard for them carrying around a ego so gargantuan all of the time. I have said it before but politics will never work whilst they allow "thick" people to vote. How can people vote just by colour?

GB and the EU
Bennyboy...........................Salmond wants to be in the EU. He has already lied about automatic membership. All new EU members must join the Euro so you will get independence, The EU and the Euro if Salmond is in charge. As for the English amongst us. Cam-moron said that he would have the vote in this parliament. That was before he got elected. He is now saying that he would have the vote in the next but only if the Tory's are in power and he is in charge. Some mugs believed him the first time and, I guess, will still believe him the second time. As for Liebour and the Lib's....................much of the same really, all lairs and cheats. Too busy stealing from the Taxpayer on expenses and flipping their (taxpayer brought) second homes. I wouldn't vote for any of them. The system we have in the UK is flawed. 5 year terms isn't long enough to see through strategic projects which can be overturned by the following government. To get on in the hierarchy and become a Minister you have to suck up and tow the line, all ethics go out of the window. Being a Minister means you are in charge of a whole department so can screw things up on a grander scale. If you are just a simple thief MP, you are told what to do by the political Whips. The Whips tell you how to vote in the commons. What the country needs is a smaller House of Commons with all MP's being independent. In reality, it doesn't matter anyway as Brussels will tell us what we can do and when. That being the case, sack all the MP's and Lords and just carry on. A common market was a good idea (though I never voted for it). The EU is just power mad people with as much sense as carrot (sorry carrots everywhere). I don't have an answer except I want a referendum on getting out of the EU and one on getting out of the UK.

OTT Postage Cost
Sir Paul, do you have a Yami dealer near you? I was going to give you the part numbers but the Suttons picture slightly different to the official Yamaha one. Go to here LINKY and get your bike up. Click the Yamaha Online Parts cat.... button. Get the part numbers you need. Go to your local dealer and order the parts or search for them on tinterweb where the postage costs are not too bad. ?????? 90109-08847 Bolt 9570L-08500 Nut flange

Tesco Burgers
They jetwash the carcass' and then press out the water into patties or nuggets (for chicken). Nice...........................I normally only eat "slabs"of meat but every now and again I do have a few quality sausages, black pudding etc. My other half insists on organic and free range and we have a very good "corner shop" butcher down the road.

Nothing wrong with horse meat IMO. If you have it as a steak, the fat is a little more yellow than beef, but very tasty.

ScottSound Say's Hi to everyone And In need of help dr125r 88/89
Hi Scott. Welcome to the forum. It sounds like the HT lead (the thick one from the coil to the spark plug is earthing. First thing to do is see if you can see where the spark is coming from. Get a friend to kick it over while you look at the lead. Check the spark plug cap is tight one the HT lead - they screw in. Take the spark plug cap off, cut 10mm of the HT lead and rescrew the spark plug cap on. Change the plug and spark plug cap. Work things in this order and check after each suggestion. That should keep you busy for a while but come back and tell us either way if you cure it or need more advice. If you have a manual and the guidance from this forum you may be able to keep away from dealers for a long while except for the MOT.

1965 YA-6 125cc project
The parts manual I have says 16" front and rear. The rear on mine is 18" but looking at google images of the bike, the rear seems to vary (guessing both 16" and 18"). It is possible that they changed the size during the years (or the rear is wrong) but they will get re rimmed at some point so I will see what needs to be done and what I think is best at the time. Some of the tanks vary, the seat came as either a singe with a rear rack or a double and some seem to have indicators but I am not sure where they were switched from.
