Hi Guys


I'm in need of a mirror for the left hand side.


Anybody got one lying around?


Thanks


Matt

my old raliegh is well past its best so im looking for a comfy bike for 99% road and the towpath on the odd trip. i only have a budget of £200 and hate twistgrip gearchanges. not bothered about suspension or disc brakes cos its just something else to go wrong :rolleyes . i found this on amazon and it looks very nice. any ideas or alternatives please  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Barracuda-Mens-L...02&sr=8-23

I just did a quick test on my TPS setting and the needle on the rev counter was about 5300rpm.
Is that okay being thereabouts, or should it be bang on 5000rpm?

My bike is in great condition, never been dropped, could probably do with a wash but still looks brilliant. It comes with a bunch of extras, these include:

• Heated grips, great in the winter and means you can wear summer gloves all year round
  
• Scottoiler, along with the fairly recent chain replacement means you won't have to worry about the chain
  
• New tyres just over a year back
  
• Topbox, very convenient
  
• Saddlebags, great for a weekend away
  

• MOT till May next year
  
• Full service was done at the same time as the MOT
  
• Tax till December
  
• Two black keys and the red key
  
• Two keys for the Topbox

A recent post asked what was the longest you'd kept a bike for. It reminded me of a friend who'd bought a Honda RS250 new in 1981 and sold it last year... so, a nice round 30 years of ownership (it still started after a couple of kicks too). On the other hand, he'd only put 12,000 miles on it in all that time!


Perhaps a better guide to how well we get on with a particular bike would be how much we've used it... rather than how long we've been prepared to store it. So, what's the greatest mileage you've added to a bike?

bit of a long shot but if anyone has a trail type rolling frame with V5 not too far from the south wales M4 corridor, i'd be interested. i have a cb250 rs engine so it needs to be roomy enough for a 4 stroke motor. thanks. (BTW i'm on ebay every day!)

It's Jeanne's 70th Birthday to-day! :eek

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEANNE 

Had the pleasure of giving a particularly nice young female a lift on the thou last evening. She was nervous as she had never been on a powered 2-wheeler so we went steady and all I could hear was laughter behind me. When we reached our journeys end I asked if she was OK. Oh yes, she said, I always laugh when Im scared! I asked if that was the reason she had me in a vice like grip round my body! When she calmed down she said she wants to do it again. Funny how the young ladies think they can trust us "more mature" types, but its good for the ego when youre seen with a vision of loveliness with legs that go on and on....Beats using my bus pass any day! :lol

As it came,,quite pleased with the high Givvi screen.


Thought i would start by cleaning all that crap white grease off the chain and check front sprocket.




Covered in grease,,crap all under the front sprocket

All clean ready for lube,,sprocket seems ok,,tab washer is good.
