Spike Milligans Adolf Hitler and my part in his downfall and the following series if you get time. It has humour, travel, tragedy and a lot of langauge that will offend the younger generation. Touching the void by Joe Simpson is very good also.

4th dimension want to handle the claim so they can bump up all the fees and then charge the 3rd partys insurance an unbelievable amount for what sounds quite a small repair. The 3rd partys company Churchill I understand want to use their repairers so they can keep the costs down. These claim handling companies are a pain in the neck and are only interested in racking up charges so that they can pass on to the other party, and as said if the third parties insurance company dont agree with costs in the small print you could be liable for any costs not recovered. Be very weary of what your signing away to these companies.

Could it be a feature of the dash and its just running a start up sequence as it works properly when started.

As stu has said find a local fabricators or smithy or old fashioned bike shop/car restorers in your area and for the price of a drink it will be done in the teabreak. Try and wire brush grinder clean up the area of all paint and rust so it is one less thing for them to do.

Hi there having just looked up what a bullit Bluroc looks like I would start by looking for a dealer in your area and speak to them if they have supplied or modified a rack to one. If not find a dealer with racks in stock that you could compare against the rear frame and see if it can be adapted to fit. I see the Bullit bikes are designed and built in China why not look up Bullit offices in Belgium and drop them an email, they may be able to point you in the right direction. Failing that a good metalsmith or fabricator should be able to knock something up for you, see if you have any custom bike shops or old school bike dealers near by and go and talk to them for advice.

Hi there if you are interested I have some new old stock rear brake shoes for your little Honda that have been lurking in my shed for years. They are EBC304 shoes still in the box. I dont want anything just cant bare to chuck them away, if you are interested just drop me a pm.

It will be under the alternator cover on the nearside of the bike as you sit on it. its on the end of the crank.

Hi Nick welcome to the forum.

Hi there and welcome to the forum, I remember many years ago rebuilding the engine on one of those little hondas after it ate the piston and a few other bits. A great little bike as with all small hondas.

Go on a site like Honda Motorcycle Parts, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha Motorcycle Parts - ATV, Classic Bike, Dirt Bike Parts (cmsnl.com) and look up your model and compare the part number of your model with the xjr1300 and see if they match or if you have a decent yamaha dealer with a good parts guy they usually know of the top of their head if parts are compatible.

Hi there ive had a look on cmsnl.com at a Kawasaki GT750 but it was a 1992 year and have a look at part 92015A. It says 8mm flanged nut so do a search on the part number and you will find other bikes that is used on.

Its their loss Rennie bollocks to them I say.

Try not to beat yourself up and try to enjoy the experiance you will get there. People learn at different speeds and im sure you will master it just give it time.

The german trike you are thinking about is the Rewaco, Henry went and had a look at them and tried them out a few series ago. He also went to the trike shop in Cardiff as others have posted. They are custom builders of all sorts of trikes where as the Rewaco is sold by a few dealers in the uk. I think they start around 30 grand and look more like the old vw beetle trike conversions of the seventies/ eighties. Home – rewaco Trikes

Try www.atik-graphics.com they do a lot of motorcycle stuff.

If you like the bike you are going to see and you want to buy it what is the problem??? just leave a deposit on sunday and arrange a time next week to go back and do the deal. Job done no rush no pissing about taking out insurance and then cancelling it which no doubt will cost you money.

Hi there it all depends on how its been built and the quality of the parts and skill in the builder. Is it finished and on the road or is it in bits still. Has the bike got a registration document any receipts for parts or jobs done to the bike. Do you know what frame and engine was used in the triton build as some are worth more than others. If you are not into bikes you could try classic bike dealers/builders for advice they may be interested. If so send lots of pictures and see what they say on value. There is a guy who writes in Classic Bike magazine called Rick Parkington, you could drop him an email and ask for his opinion. Good luck hope it goes well and sorry for your loss.

Why dont you get the restriction removed on the Kawasaki ninja in september ( as I understand it its only programming in the ecu) then ride the bike until spring next year giving you time to get used to it and more time to find look for your next bike ready for summer. Just a thought.

Looking on the CMNL website it does look very much like the original carb. Have a look here although this is the canada spec from that year they all had the single carb on this engine. Honda CMX250C REBEL 1997 (V) CANADA CARBURETOR - buy CARBURETOR spares online (cmsnl.com) Looks like the carb needs a complete clean and service kit gaskets and new float valve as the rubber tip is probably rock hard and has a ridge in it so it wont seal.

You need to check the charging system is working properly and also the reg/rec to see if that has fried to and wiring to and from it.

Hi there ive just googled KSR 125 spares as ive never heard or seen one and come up with this website Home | CMPO | Chinese Motorcycle Parts Online Also there are loads of parts on ebay for sale and bikes being broken for spares. Have you checked the speedo and fuel gauge to confirm they are faulty first?

Sadly there are a lot that go to the TT and leave their brain at home and think its their private race track, it was one of the reasons I liked the Manx gp it is a lot more chilled and the plus is a bigger mix of bikes from all ages not just sportsbikes. Im keeping in touch though this year listening to practice each day on the radio. Looks like the weather is going to be great this week.
