Title: YOUR OTHER RIDES
Post by: MadDogMcQ on 14 June 2012, 01:38:36 pm
Apart from your Fazer, what else do you have in your garage???
I have a 2006 Honda CBR600F...

And I've got a 1980 Honda CB250N which I have spent FAR too long refurbishing. Bought it as a tatty wreck and now it
looks pretty much like the one I bought brand new in August 1980. Note the period Kangol helmet  :lol

 I have a nice BMW R80 Mono of 1986 vintage, it's an ex-police model returned to civvy spec and has done 105,000. It too is getting a refurb, I just bought an 'S' type fairing to fit instead of the RT barn door thing it's supposed to have. I'll post pics when she's done.

MadDog, nice Superdream there. I have had a couple that never looked that good. The 400N was better but I never had one of them.

BTW, the over trousers do not match the era that the bike was from.
Title: Re: YOUR OTHER RIDES
Post by: shady on 14 June 2012, 05:53:36 pm
Come on now Mad Dog to even think about renovating a CB250N superdream has to be mad in itself ! l owned one of those from new and found them to be pretty crap in comparison to other 250 s around at that time. My Z250 scorpion was better in every dept as was my mates CB250RS or the GSX250  :rolleyes The only bike that was perhaps as bad was the Yamaha XS250 ! reliable and dull was the best way to describe a superdream  ;)

Up until a few months ago my Fazer was sharing garage space this.
(http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i10/hairyhampton/P1020202.jpg) (http://foc-u.co.uk/%3Ca%20href=)
But now it just shares with this money pit.(http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i10/hairyhampton/FZ750%20stuff/Image0150.jpg) (http://foc-u.co.uk/%3Ca%20href=)
 I have spent more money buying, modifying & restoring this FZ than the Fazer has cost me to date.  :wall & it's still not finished.  :'(

Andrew, that is a mean pair of spud guns you have there. Why use the string though?

If the bike only shares the garage when the sun shines, where is it the rest of the time?
Title: Re: YOUR OTHER RIDES

The string keeps all four together :)
 
The rest of the time???? in the lounge... where did you think it was?

They act like deck clearers, you know, the old chain shot they used on ships to take out the opponents rigging :)

And really, did that pushbike say GIANT CONT? People should learn to spell properly, at least you won't get done under the trades description act :pokefun

How's Hyosung holding in English weather? Is it any good?

The Hyosung gets used five days a week, week in week out for comuting. It's started everytime I've pressed the starter button. I did have the header pipe off a few weeks ago to get the clag and clundge off and repaint. It gets riden hard and is holding up well when you think about the shite weather we've had. And the bonus... because I work for a Barrus dealer I get to do all the service work, I can order parts at home and get them by the end of the week or within a few days, and I get to stamp the service book.

Parts have been:
Oil filter x2
Oil filter seals x4
Copper washer x2
Shim x1
Clutch lever x1 (Bike fell off paddock stand. My fault)
Exhaust gasket

The parts listed are all sevice interval parts except the lever and gasket. The bike's coming up to 4,000 miles now and the only thing that's broken so far was the rubber ring that goes around the tax disc holder.
