    Turkish CG's look like this . Then there are Brazilian , Japanese and now Pakistani and possibly Indian ones as well .

    I like the Rebel too . It's not trying too hard be retro . The only retro thing about it is the overall " Stance " all the rest is modern motorcycle .

    I spoke to a gentleman of your seniority ( 81 in fact ) in Stratford upon Avon last year and he told me that he was considering hanging up his helmet . Until this came along .

    Hi , I also have a 1200 Sportster . I'm surprised that you think of it as heavy to be honest . Compared to my previous bike , a GSXR 1100 , it feels really easy to maneuver . The wide , raised bars and extremely narrow plan view make it much easier to get close to the centre of gravity . Have you checked to see whether the brakes are binding ?

    Yes , I'm inclined to agree . Here are some more sensible custom bikes without big handlebars

    I've looked at them from every angle and my feeling is that they are rear facing . Sorry .

    Vets bills

    fastbob replied to onesea's topic in General Chat

    I actually know someone who did the very same thing with a horse ! They bought mare to ride and the thing started putting on weight straight away . It eventually gave birth to a lovely foal which was sold on for a profit .

    Exactly ! Especially if you knocked around with these people back in the day when they were Bikers . I stupidly thought we'd all be still riding together but one of my old mates is an ER activist and one is even a vegan with an electric car !

    A former friend of mine is a very active member of Extinction Rebellion in Abingdon but he drives a milk tanker for a living . It seems to have gone right over his head that the dairy industry is a way to dispose of the unwanted byproducts of the beef industry , the gaseous byproducts of which are apparently destroying the ozone layer .

    Vets bills

    fastbob replied to onesea's topic in General Chat

    If you are offered medicine by a vet on an ongoing basis , take the first issue because obviously it needs to be administered straight away . But also ask for a rolling six month prescription . They may charge you for this but it's going to be worth it . For example , the vet wanted to charge £37 a go for Bob's medicine but with a prescription you can buy it online for a mere £11.23 Inc vat . I use a company called Vetimed .

    Which is why I bought a Roadster with plenty of ground clearance .

    Running on 3

    fastbob replied to scooke's topic in Pitstop

    I find it curious that your first thought is the charging system . Is it actually running on three cylinders ? Have you done a spit test on the downpipes ? If it is running on three then the cold cylinder is your culprit . Check the lead , plug cap and plug and then check the carb .

    I've also got some . They are as waterproof as a pair of Wellies . I paid £80 for mine off Gumtree " Worn once "

    My neighbor is a Triumph test rider and he would agree with you 100% there . Best handling bike ever he says .

    Searching eBay on behalf of someone else looking for a Harley clutch spring compressor and I got a pleasant surprise when I found a picture of my own bike on eBay . I think I must have sent the picture with the positive feedback . And before anyone says a word , the carpet is out of a skip .
  22. fastbob
    Oh just get a Harley . You'll be too busy looking good to worry about how you're riding it .

    So how much blue Hylomar has oozed out , if any ?
  24. fastbob
    Exactly .

    Does this stuff ever cure ?
