Pedro Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 The oldest motorcycling related thing that I own and still use is my bungee cord, I always carry it under the seat after buying it in 2006, here it is holding a water bottle in Morocco in 2014 and a wine box in the Alentejo just a few weeks ago What's the oldest thing motorcycle related that you use? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I've got a large, flat blade screwdriver that I bought when I was replacing the front disc pads on my RD350 (1976). I was using it to push the pistons on the caliper back in! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yen_powell Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 My impact driver I reckon. Bought it to use on the cross head screws on the casing of my XS250, so must have been around 1983. The XS250 was useless and dumped after a few months, the impact driver was last used this year to undo two bastards bolts that I couldn't shift any other way. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I was thinking about this today and came to the same conclusion. I have an old Hilka impact driver I used to use on fizzys and crunchies. Gone through quite a few bits over the years but the body's still going good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Yep, I concur. My impact driver has got to be over 40 years old. Luckily I find that I don't have to use it as much nowadays. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
