For Sale & Wanted / Re: Cheap road worthy
« on: 24 May 2016, 09:08:35 pm »
Yeah, thundercat, £1500 from a shop, 38k, 3 month warranty, took it for a test ride and the clutch/gearbox/engine sounded sweet and ran like new!
New tires, new chain and sprockets, new front brake pads, after a day I'm pretty happy with the purchase, although I also spent £120 on a disc lock and I'm going to also get the almax chain with squire lock soonish, oh, and I rode the bike up the towpath and it's parked next to the boat!

With my recent experience I'd 100% say you have to get the best to reduce the chance of the opportunist little scrotes from having a joy ride
I'll be buying an almax chain with squire lock for my replacement bike!
Today I spent £120 on a disc lock!

Cheers guys, although appropriate there's a couple of issues- distance (OK not a massive problem) and by ASAP I mean yesterday lol.
I followed up a couple of leads and now I'm waiting to be picked up to go see a thundercat, it's a tad overpriced for mileage but it's from a dealer so added bonus of warranty etc, fingers crossed it'll be OK!

Bike theft is just too rife in London at the moment something needs to change.Although you're right I'm not quite in london yet (OK within M25 buy still) I've found out now from several people vehicle crime in that area is rife, several vehicles being nicked and torched!

After Fazercat got nicked I'm looking for either a bike to borrow, or something cheap but with mot.
I'm not overly pissed about the Fazercat tbh- it's just a bike, however it's put me in a position of not being able to work, that's the more annoying side to it all!
So, if someone has something lying around, let me know!

May have been dropped or smacked a pot hole hard at some point and the forks have twisted in the yokes (there are other possibilities
But I work on checking the cheap easy options first!)
See vid below on straightening them-

Appreciated, I've had my fair share of probs with steel ones (last set lasting one day!) so depends on corrosion and price!
Thanks for the delivery offer, I'm heading Rickmansworth so we can sort something!

« on: 28 April 2016, 07:14:37 pm »
Remove the wheel then find a really big Hill, give it a gentle tap at the top of the hill, if it rolls down freely then it's still a wheel, if it's banging and jumping all over the place then it's become a box!

« on: 23 April 2016, 06:39:32 am »
Vast majority of slip on cans will fit- just Google the connection diameters, then you can search eBay through other bikes like cbr600 etc obviously some bikes have cans that bolt on (srad gsxr, etc) so those won't fit!

« on: 22 April 2016, 12:16:29 pm »I thought I read earlier it was around 11 at Cowfold?Seeya there
What time are we meeting at the cowshed again?
I believe the time quote by Red98 was 11am, he did not specify what day or year and like last years Brighton run will probably miss it, probably blaming Stiggy.
I will be at Nells at 8.30am Sunday 24th April 2016, just in case anyone is confused
Ok based on you guys coming from Nells around 9ish means we will wait for you at Chalet Cafe, Henfield Rd, Horsham, Cowfold RH13 8DU
at 10:30 right?
This will give us plenty of time to miss the 4pm rain...
