Bloody nice Warren, how do you manage it with the garage full up.

I have done this myself in the past and yes the cylinder needs to be removed from the locks with the key in it to stop the small parts relocating themselves around the room, once you have them in front of you decide which key you want to use and insert into each lock and see what lugs you need to re...

Got the YZF going on Saturday and it does sound amazing, dropped the oil the other day and filled if some from work to flush the engine out. Just got a couple of oil filters from the UK so I'll drop it again and put good stuff in and a new filter. My mates coming round tomorrow night to give me a s...

Here's one of my old R. and it went like stink, i loved it.

That's a lovely looking little bike, well done that man.

What colour is it to be Kev

I am leaning towards blue, maybe Citroen Poseidon blue which is metallic, but then possibly more towards the blues Yamaha used in the seventies.

:xbou Took the old girl for it's MOT today, i came away dead chuffed, passed with ease they adjusted headlight aim for me, the tester who is also a rider was impressed with the standard of work, and praised the bike and me accordingly, going to ride it for the summer and paint it during the winter n...
