Hi [mention]Lumor_uk[/mention] as your link say's been Law for 3 years or more. If your vehicle is taxed just keep your Insurance in place. I always, since I was 16 never let my insurance lapse. Have a Vfr that's been offroad for 5 years but it's still Insured.

[mention]Snod Blatter[/mention] and the 1983 CBX750f, that had Hydraulic Valves, a first for Honda. I hated the Rev limiter fitted!!!! Always hitting the dam thing, but never having to do the valve clearances, bliss -

I still think of 30 years ago being the 70's I bloody wish it was, I wouldn't feel so knackered, and I would still be riding everyday

Hi [mention]Slowlycatchymonkey[/mention] Most forks don't have drain screws nowadays, did away with them years ago, and as for Upside Down forks, not new at all, Think one of the First bike's I had with them was the 1989 Kawasaki ZXR250 and that was 30 years ago, and as for ease of working on, not really much difference time wise between them, they both have to come out to change oil etc. As for riding, most bikes are built using the Forks, Manufactures think best suited for that model. All my current bikes run conventional forks. Don't think it hinders them in performance stakes. But must admit upside downs do look better

Hi [mention]Mickly[/mention] , this is a photo of my rear disc on the CBR 400, this year, 2 of 5 cracks in disc, these appeared over last year. Used George my mot tester for last 30 years, and I know they weren't there year before, as did George. Mileage last year was 46 miles . Have seen it happen before a few times. You can try but doubt if they will do anything..

Yes! Mainly because you look really naughty in it and it made me smile! Haha, cheers for that, wish I had the number with me, when I got the top step

If you go to the R&G website and put in your bike etc, it will tell you what is available and when you click on what you want ? Upper or Lower bungs. You can then view the fitting instruction for the bungs. Hope that helps. Or you can buy cheap ones on ebay etc that fit to the fairing, and if you crash you take the fairing off with the crash bung

Just seen the results, his team mate can't seem to find the pace this year, should have kept Melandri in the team. Next thing is they will make Ducati harness the power . Anyway back to my Sunbed out here in Maderia .
