Ride from London to Manchester in-2. Frozen adamsapple. Respect for the bike couriers that do it day in day out. S.

Well after getting it home and adjustments made on chain gear shifter and brakes took it to my dad who used to ride nortons bonnevilles etc asked me why don't you get a real bike after turning up on dt125mx with l plates pre cat A. He tried to get on the thumper but couldnt swing his leg high enougH. Felt sad seeing him tryin. Im going to buy a Harley he said! S.

Looks like its jinxed. Being held at post office buyer being informed of charges. S.

Well kit has just passed uk customs clearance so waiting for postman! S.

Took the 2 bolts holding caliper out. All very slidy and looks maintained. Inner pad on limit outer to the bone. Missus has cooked me rump steak dinner. So forgiven. Thanks for posting piccie. S.

Oops missus went out shopping. Accidentally bought a ebay 91 Xt600e when mrs went out shopping but needs rear pads. What size tools do i need to do pads before 200 mile ride from middlesex to manchester. Regards Simon

Bugger only got 31 inch legs so rules it out for me. Nice looking though. Apparently you dont want to be riding behind it on gravel/stones according to thumpertalk.
