Just brought something from the US via evilbay. Seems a good exchange rate at the moment so if you are looking to buy there there, maybe time to look again.

Bl00dy Suzuki's

Morning Nev! I know, I had the ramair on an "M plate". But that is with hindsight and a more mature head on. Triple Hhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

They are beaut's Merv. Earlier than mine and in er......... slightly better condition, at least for the time being . Funny, but looking at the other pics, the GT isn't doing anything for me. I have ridden a few. The KH's though....................... taking me back to when I had the GT250 and wanted the KH triple. They are still calling me, the same at the TS does.

Not in a gent toilet I hope

:lol: I guess it comes to all of us oldies

My loving partner did text a similar thing to me during the week when the packets started to arrive .

I have used motorcycle seat works before. Sent it by post, took a while to come back, had 2 colours, really good finish. I would use them again LINKY

If it wasn't for religion, just think how more over populated the planet would be.

C50 (moped racing), TS90, TS100, CB125, YA-6, CG125, DT175(x2), GT250, TS250, RD250, XT350, VF400, RD400 (x3), VF500, KLE500, XJ550, CBX550, CBR600, GSX600f(x2), FZR600, SLR650, SV650, GSXR750, FZ8, Z1000 chop............ That is all I can remember at the moment. There will be more. Still own; YA-6, TS250, RD400 (x3 ish), FZ8.

Lots of little packets dropping through the letterbox this week; NOS main wiring loom - soft as butter. Spacer for the swingarm Battery and acid pack - Cheap at Busters via evilbay, about £11 with the acid and free postage Head bearings - both sets and dust caps NOS gasket set I also have just ordered the rest of the swingarm stuff as I had to cut the old one out.

Too true Blackhat :lol: I emailed Robinsons Foundry last night with a part, parts list from my extensive spreadsheet of parts I am going to change. Got home from work early and there was a price list and ETA of all the parts. Checking the parts, one was a fiver more expensive, the rest were the same price with the exception of one. They had misread one part number. I emailed them back and popped out for half an hour. When I got in there was an updated parts list from them and advice about ordering. I ordered using their online system, which is a bit strange to be honest, and entered a code to get free postage. £97 lighter now and I will see what happens next. Given that these types of parts I am going to get are about a grand, it does pay to treat any potential customer well. Off to update the projects thread now.

True. There is Robinsons Foundry and always CMSNL

Do we motorcyclists just expect bad service? After my bad experience with Hein Gericke I put this to one side and decided to get some parts for the old TS. Sent Crooks Classic Parts an email with the parts I was looking to price up using their online form. The name, part number and quantity of each part I wanted was all on there. Left my phone number and email. They have a good search facility on their site and the parts (bar one) all seemed to be in stock. I did this Friday. Left it Saturday as I presumed that they would be busy with walk in customers. Called them Monday and they took my name and said they would get back to me. Thursday now and I have not heard a thing. There was about £100 of parts for this order and having priced up the bits I would like to change I reckon about another £1000 from this type of outlet. I just wanted to know what you all thought so I started a poll.

Oh dear....................................

Start an e-petition, get 100,000 bikes to agree by posting it everywhere and the government will debate it. LINKY

The cash has been returned. Thanks for asking but took 2 weeks.

What got me into bikes? I am not really sure. No bikers in my large family. I was 17 with a full car licence and worked with a guy who had a '74 GT250 (which I later brought). I saw a TS90 in Johns of Romford in Rush Green, Essex and wanted it. My boss at the time lent me the money - £185 I think - and that was it. Learnt as I went as I had never ridden a bike before. Many many moons later I am still in love with them. Neither of my sons are riders although my youngest passed his CBT this year.

Oooops sorry. No more replies from me then.

Bath! Is it January already?

Nail gunned to my bones. It will be fine when the wounds stop weeping.

I have. A bit smelly today though, to be honest.
