Sir Fallsalot

The UCR that drops down to whitebrook is one of the hard bits at the start, i have only been down it for obvious reasons. I rode down Pant Glas steps a few weeks ago and reminded myself why i haven't been there for years LOL

Knowing my luck that will be the one i end up buying

Will you be riding stuff like this when you get it Pete

The amount i spilled on the floor is probably worth a £1 now LOL

Earliest thing i can remember with fuel is trying to put a £1 worth of fuel in a 5L can and spilling it over the floor because it wouldn't fit lol

There's no adjustment on the front or rear so what you get your stuck with. If i got one i have thought of spending some of the savings on a few things to personalise it suspension being one of them

With me it was being surprised how little my life changed from before corvid. i must have been an unsociable bastard then as well

There's a number of things i can list off the top of my head i like over enduro bikes. Low seat height A comfier seat road bike service intervals £3000 cheaper than most enduro bikes Serviceable items should last longer chain tyres etc Good fuel economy Only thing i can think of that might bother me Will i miss the stomp of the bigger bike on the open road and the low down torque Will the soft suspension cope with my lardy arse (don't say loose weight that ain't going to happen)

That's about the same price as red diesel here that has no road duty attached to it . I blame the people giving up smoking, when people stop smoking the governments revenue drops so they add to fuel so smoke more you bastards

I know it will be a whole new experience for me

Well your workshop manual says NGK CR7E and so does numerous searches on line for Suzuki GSA 1250s bandit spark plugs so i'd say there's some thing wrong there

No shes not bothered, she has her money and i have mine once the bills are paid we spend it how we like within reason

Yup its a good job they are a common plug as their only about £6 each on my CRF1000 they are now down to £25 each and there's four of them a few years ago they were £53 each

If covid never hit i would have bought a Beta X trainer the beginning of last year but in the meantime the CRF300l came along and now i'm torn between the two. i want something to take the strain off my XR. Thinking of selling the CB to make room but might all be another pipe dream lol

don't forget the veranda and the west end cafe the three combined known to me as the power ranger triangle

That's why my ear was ringing LOL

I liked the 250 on all the back roads and a few trails i snuck in around Bridgend without blunder road knowing where i was left wanting was on the open roads hoping the 300 will bridge the gap. But i'm also considering a Beta X trainer the CRF is the sensible option but when have i ever been sensible lol

To be honest it looks a good bike with a proven engine

Kawasaki got their version of it KLX300 but we all know how that goes just ask @Tym

I was just playing this out loud when the wife started singing it in the other room. I said who's this, she said UFO, i said well let them sing it because your fucking killing it, my ears still ringing

I spoke to Honda here to see if they had a demonstrator for me to have a go on and he just laughed at me. He said if i ordered one today i'd be lucky to get one by September the demand is so high they cant supply them fast enough. Luckily i know someone who has one and has offered me a go

I'd just like to point out that in Bobs video at 7m 40 odd where the guy says he undone the bracket with the water pump on, it is actually the thermostat housing

That's easy NGK and Denso are manufactures of spark plugs, NGK being the most common, CR7E is the plug number for the standard plug and is what you want, so search for NGK CR7E this is not specific to your bike this will be the plug number for probably hundreds of different bikes

I think the seat height is about 4" higher than your BM but it's a lot lighter

Has anyone said your a very nice man Bob
