Thanks Drewpy, some useful tips in that film.

Please tell me that's a piss take. It isn't even music, just a load of jumbled sounds.

Sorry foams, have to cry off. Family thing that can't be put off. It means I won't be seeing the bike until Monday morning. Not happy, not happy at all.

Post your progress in the projects section. And remember we like lots of pics.

Honest opinion. Of the three choices I'd have the Hammer. But I'd prefer an Indian Chief Dark Horse

Classic. I've always liked Jethro.

Well she is now my Ex wife

Well done Bippo

My Dad had a Jawa 350, a big black beast of a bike to me back then. I was always sitting on it in our garden and watching my Dad tinkering with it. A mate of his had an 850 Norton Commando and I thought it was the most beautiful machine I'd ever seen. Unfortunately, as Sacha said, life happened and my dreams of having a bike were set aside. I've never had a driving license and relied on my wife to take me anywhere I needed to go. Then out of the blue, for my 40th birthday, she bought me a little chinese 50cc twist and go scooter (can't remember what make). I passed my CBT using one of the school's geared 125s and rode the scooter for about a year until it died. I didn't want another scooter so waited and looked around until I found a Honda CG125 that I could afford, a 'real' bike. I rode that for another year (having to retake my CBT) and the wife said I should take my 'Big Bike' test, so I did. Since the CG125 I've averaged around 12k-14k miles a year. I ride the bike about 350 out of the 365 days of the year.
