Correct, you have no chance if you haven't ridden your bike .......... What say you @busabeast

The levers are brilliant Fred, I had a set on Miss Australia (previous donkey) , They're span adjustable which means I won't be getting cramp like I was with the O/E levers.

I think that's probably it for quite a while now, I hope I've got it as I want it now

Next up was a new O/E ignition switch to replace the rubbish that was on there ................ and the bonus is that I now have a working steering lock again. I also fitted a JNS oil cooler guard ,,,,,,,,,,,, and a JNS front sprocket cover ..............

At the same time I replaced the O/E brake and clutch levers for Warp9 three finger levers which have good adjustability......... and fitted a Warp9 choke cable guide as the original is plastic and can snap ...............

So I've been giving Miss America a bit of a spruce up as there were still a few things that I wasn't happy with . After shit performance in the rain in France back in June I junked the Striker speedo as it was a piece of rubbish, didn't like the rain, didn't like the heat so I replaced it with the O/E speedo. I also wasn't happy with the Cycra hand guards as the fittings were shoddy and they wouldn't stay where they were supposed to be. I replaced them today with some Acerbis items which are much better fitting...........

Been in the garage this afternoon fettling the donkey, going for a walk down to the river with Paolo tomorrow.

Good to see you and the dear boy back

Vans are feckin mental , I was having a look last night but I'm not paying those prices.

The smell ?

We re-commisioned a Superlight last year , the owner had passed on and his family wanted to sell it. Once they saw it finished they decided to keep it in his memory and pass it on to his nephew once he was old enough to ride.

When I worked at Zen Overland the owner (Gabe) did a trip to the sahara. He used Michelin Deserts and when he got back he discarded the rear. I fitted to my KTM 950 and ran it for ages, you just couldn't kill those tyres

At least it's a metal gear driving the oil pump on that bike Fred, some bikes use a plastic gear which often fails over time with that hot oil surrounding it. The splines on the kick-start shaft look good as well

Too cute for words, I'd take him on straight away

What's a X box ?

You couldn't fail to notice me on my RD04

I clearly remember your Africa Twins

Yes but I don't think he's seen my willy unless he was peaking when we were pissing in a field somewhere ..................

fight, fight , fight

It reminds me of this.....................

Who's the vocalist on that, It doesn't sound like Keith Emerson ?

Big hair Clive, you look like one of the hair bear bunch

Nice one Lionel, I had a RD250 DX as well but mine was silver. Here's another orangey photo

Oh I remember that , Ive got some of my XL185 and my (ah-hem !!) Lambretta that look like that. No bother, just scan them or take a pic of your photo with phone or i-pad and get it on here
