bit of 4x2 just long enough for the wheel to clear the ground shoved under the swingarm.

i've just read on sky news about a group of london bikers getting together to look out for scooter crims. good idea if you ask me, and it might give average bikers a bit of good press. i have absolutely no objection to cops being given extra powers either. if youre a criminal or ride like a twat you deserve what you get. end of rant.

thanks for all the input. i need an original seeley as a colleague has what he thinks are original seeley jigs. he has already made a phil read replica silencer for me and it fits perfect. but there are other clamps on the jig, probably for the seeley silencer but we need an original to see what goes where. i have a read rep and a britain i'm working on but it's proving rather expensive! i've sold my versys recently to get some cash in.

i was with him last weekend! he's got some cracking race stuff in there. no seeley pipes though, but he's given me a few contacts i'm working through.

i'm posting this on every forum i frequent. i still have my fazer but i have 5 hondas as well! i'm looking for a seeley manufactured silencer as pictured, in any condition to use as a pattern. if anybody knows of one, please let me know. i can get similar norton type replicas but they are not the same. thanks.

as above. i've always been the knob with the loud pipe and now i'm paying for it. the loudest bike i ever had was a 500-4 with a marshall 4-1 hollowed out. boy, did i think i was the dogs! hearing aids are intrusive and do not restore your hearing like it used to be. plus you get the added benefit of feeling old. use them earplugs!!!!!!!

dont laugh, but i now own a honda DN-01 due to my bad knee and hip. i cant change gear at the mo until my knee gets fixed so i needed a twist'n'go. i cant seem to post pics which is probably a good thing as its butt ugly. i also have a phil read rep and a honda britain in the shed in bits...

i think you should be pleased. a 'mate' at work asked to borrow £300 for his girlfriends engagement holiday and told me he would pay me back in a month or so. turned out he is a serial gambler and he's blown it all. there was no engagement holiday either and his girlfriend has sensibly ditched him. he still works with me and just avoids any eye contact. i may get the cash back one day but lesson learnt.

i often go power-ranger baiting on my 650 versys between brecon and llandovery. all sorts of bikes ranging from RC8s, blades, R1s, MVs etc ridden by riders who cant ride them very well. bit childish for a 57 year old but fun!!

i have never been able to get my head around why many riders (mostly american) have a go at car drivers for some reason or other. even my 600 is faster than most cars out there, so when somebody does something stupid in front of me, there may be some hand gesturing or mirror bashing but otherwise i give it a handful and the offending driver is way back in the distance. life's too short to argue about why he/she didnt indicate etc etc

ok, so i've had my fazer since 2011 and not put too many miles on it. i'm riding my versys all the time and the fazers been in a garage on sorn since 2013 and hasnt fired up since. it has new C&S, new tyres and is relatively low mileage. i have got a new battery somewhere so i'll try to start it in the next few days. it was running fine until i abandoned it! it is completely standard and would make a good 'emerging classic' buy. i fancy building a fighter and this bike is too good to butcher, so i'm looking for a vfr750 preferably running to attack with my grinder. i'm not sure what to ask for it so i'm just seeing if there is any interest. ta. i would post some pics but photobucket aint copying for some reason.
