I think I'd be looking for an electronic ignition conversion kit. Are Piranha or Boyer Brandsden still around?

I mentioned this a couple of years ago. Until fairly recently it was only the mint low milers that were fetching over £2k but that seems to be the going rate now for anything reasonable with up to 30k miles from a dealership and the really good ones are quite a bit more. Having said that with the ridiculous prices being asked for some of the older stuff, they're still something of a bargain.

What is odd, is that those who want to understand the messages sent from the government don't seem to struggle to. The virus is still out there and still killing people. I don't consider myself to be especially clever but i get it.
It's about personal responsibility, some have it, others it seems don't. Pointing at other people and saying 'well they did it' is only a valid excuse if you're pre-school age. 57

How would it have read in the left wing media if a right wing government had tried to prevent or stop them? 58

Why is it that wherever people gather in large numbers they leave mountains of rubbish behind them? They reckon they collected over 2 tons of rubbish (including burger boxes with human shit in) just from Bournemouth beach yesterday. There was an illegal rave in Manchester last week an the aftermath looked like a fucking land fill site. People are just fucking disgusting.

General / Re: Could be the next FZ« on: 16 June 2020, 05:09:38 pm »Yeah, people like me. Now where the heck did I put my pipe cleaner.To be fair, you had kind of excluded yourself from your description of BMW riders by implying that they were no longer purely for that kind of person. But even if you do see yourself in that way (which I find highly unlikely) I'm sure that many owners would find what you wrote really quite rude and offensive. 63

No longer are they purely for flat cap sporting, slipper wearing, pipe smoking wankers.
Isn't that kind of character profiling tens of thousands of people you've never even met, simply by the make of motorcycle they choose to ride? 64

But just fitting wide bars and knobblies or clip ons and a seat hump to any old bag of shit doesn't automatically make it cool. You can polish a turd but you just end up with a shiny turd.

You have to wonder why they'd bother to fit pillion footrests.

Looks like a 1340 engine, Sportsters were either 883 or 1200, and it's a US import due to the reflectors on the forks. Definitely is a Sportster, the crankcases on the bigger engines are completely different and UK spec bikes have those reflectors as standard. 73

I can't believe that you had to ask what type of bike it is.
