Almost as hard to find as a decent introduction these day's

Afghan motorcycle airbag trial! What is is with these people and blowing things up?

Hi and welcome to the forum, youngster.

Georgiev - post some pics to make us envious . The rest of you - All round to Georgiev's for a party

There are possibly repair kits made for it. Have you tried LINKY1 or Keyster K-941YK perhaps? LINKY2

Too far, unless you get the ferry from there back, so a one way bike ride and a booze cruise back. The top end is all lovely but you will be spoilt for that in south France. I would go west coast France. Touch Andorra, Along the med to Monaco, missing out Marseilles, touch Italy, through the alps, touch Switzerland or Luxembourg (or both - but they are boring places), into Belgium for some cheap fags and then home. 9 days sounds about right.

You get a Youth hostel card from the YHA then off to France. Cheap and mostly clean. Lots of other travellers from all over the place. I use YHA or tent first and a cheap B&B if the weather has been really bad. Don't use St Die - although I think that is isn't there anymore (dirty) - I have stayed in loads including Geneva which is quite posh. You just need a few quid, your card and a sleeping bag liner. The good thing is that you can stay a little out of expensive areas and then make that you first stop the following day. We used to stay in Menton (I think) for Monaco and top of Italy and Vernon for Paris. Been a while since I have used one but that is down to opportunity. Also the Y is for Youth but there used to be no age limit. We met a bloke who was cycling and had all his stuff in 2 of those big stripy expandable bags he had on his handlebars. he was about 65. uk LINKY International LINKY

Don't go to Spain, unless you have to. France is big enough for your first trip. Tent and Youth Hostel card. Sat nay and money. Fan-bl00dy-tastic.

Trying to swap everything on the top end will be a nightmare, timing and the like. Isn't there a nice 250 complete engine for sale? I brought a TS250 engine for under £100 the other week. Just the gaskets and stuff will probably make it cheaper to put a whole lump in.

Yep, cammo netting. Also good for the indicators but I noticed you didn't have any.

I and a belated welcome to the forum.

:lol: Yep. Keep away from forests.

That would look good in grunge full matt cammo. Net the clocks housing and it would be spot on.

Some 125 and 250 parts seem to be shared but there seems so little info on the 125 I think that it would be a nightmare. In an ideal world you could just buy a 250 engine and hope it bolts on. Easier than seeing if it is just the barrels, pistons and conrods that are different. I think it would be a case of surfing to see if anyone has done it and if it is a drop in I am happy to meet up and help. Not volunteering to change the barrels, too much messing about.

You have an electric organ? I suppose it saves all the sweating!

Better now than later. At least you can have a good prod about. Until I owned old bikes I was told that rubber in a landfill lasted a quadrillion years. Obviously Japanese rubber doesn't as every bit you touch breaks up or cracks. Darn clever them Japs, created biodegradable rubber before there was a use for it!

Hi Windy Pig. Welcome to the forum. I did have a question. Why do they call you............................ Oh, never mind!

Using a quantum physics calculation, I have estimated that Warp speed 9.1 is the best you can hope for. I hope this helps.

Arent Massey Ferguson's the bikes regulated to 40 MPH tops?

I saw some signs on the ride home from work today. LINKY

Hi and welcome to the forum. Anyone from Whacky races is OK with me.

I see the "old chestnut" excuses have started before the race ride to Squires I still prefer working on a 2 stroker though

Overnight? Gretna Green. Plenty of places there and time for a few photos. Fantastic scenery all the way. Good luck.

I would do the same. Until then I would look at using a soft rubber specialist glue. If it leaks the bike will run lean. It does seem to say that it is a shared part with the 250 so this may be worth looking at LINKY
