Wrong topic lol hopefully a mod will move my post to the insurance thread ? Cheers Ian

Not making a profit ! Just heard on the radio that when Van Gogh`s Sunflowers was sold as the most expensive painting ever at Christies (a fair few years ago) it was bought by an insurance company for the art museum they were setting up in their h.q. Couldn`t make it up ffs. Cheers Ian

Potential riding assistant decided to try the Harley for size. Cheers Ian

Can these things not be attended by a nominated friend or family member? Lol Cheers Ian

CBR600 F3 1998 - amateur restoration
Ian Frog replied to Hairsy's topic in Old Motorbikes, Projects and Restorations
Hi you might like to try this? I got it as I couldnt justify the cost of the brand named one and it has been great. Cheers Ian
-
@S-Westerly Let us know your shore dates then. I am sure we can be flexible. E.G I am away late April and late Oct. Cheers Ian
-
That first weekend in Sept seems fine to me if its available ? Cheers Ian
-
It might be worth reading @Tinkicker `s VFR restoration articles as he covered all aspects on this great machine. Cheers Ian

we get 1st legal walkies following vaccinations tomorrow! Someone can't wait, the local population have been warned and all bunnies are quaking in their burrows lol. Cheers Ian

How to visit the Isle of Man TT with limited budget ?
Ian Frog replied to TheRosssiiii's topic in Biking events
@manxie49 Is the campsite at the trout farm in Kirk Michael still going? (Clearwater trout farm??). We used to use that as a group with the bikes in a long wheelbase transit and it worked out very slightly less than scandalous if there were 5 or 6 of us going. Cheers Ian -
I can see the use of some dogs in the workplace though. Cheers Ian
-
Oh good grief yes Toc 6 pots Arrgh ! ask anyone who has ridden a Busa! Awful brakes best replaced with Triumph 2 pots or similar, strangely enough the calipers work fine on my ZRX which probably backs up the comments about Suzuki master cylinders. Cheers Ian
-
I know you have probably tried it but leave it overnight with the lever held pulled in to the bars with a strap or tie of some kind and then see if it is better in the morning, sometimes this can encourage stubborn air bubbles to move. Sorry for stating the obvious if you have already thought of it. Cheers Ian
-
I think they are just worried about his potential for causing serious injury lol. Cheers Ian
-
Fear! Don't talk to me about fear ! Local council and police have insisted on knowing this one's whereabouts at all times. Cheers Ian
-
Yes the Harley indicator thing is amusing to say the least. I am on my third Harley in the last 6 years and I still don`t get it lol. I believe older BMW`s used to have the same affliction lol, hmm similar old school agricultural twins (scurries for shelter swiftly!) Cheers Ian
-
So pleased to hear you are enjoying it ! Yes the torque can be a bit addictive lol. Are you still running std exhausts and air filter? Hope you have many happy miles but please remember to secure it as much as possible, they are desirable to scumbags. Cheers Ian

Which tool kit do you carry?
Ian Frog replied to Simon Davey's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
That`s a really good little socket set there but I would be willing to bet it could be even better if the 16mm socket was changed for a 14mm one. Must say it looks a quality item though and along with a puncture repair kit and a multitool of some kind which had a bottle opener and a corkscrew you should be prepared for just about anything. Cheers Ian -
New Motorcycle Shaped Object..
Ian Frog replied to Tinkicker's topic in Old Motorbikes, Projects and Restorations
Agreed ! Thank you very much, ,not only for your excellent input but for encouraging others. Cheers Ian -
Thanks for that. Unfortunately Tiger tool is currently being updated to try and work with gen4 which is why I asked. The guy who made it is on it from what I hear. Thanks anyway. Cheers Ian
-
May I ask what year your Tiger is? I could do with similar for my 2023 GT Pro. Cheers Ian
-
Congratulations. I had the 2019 Fatboy for a while and it does take a bit of getting used to. To be fair mine had a stage2 tune and was a little lively lol. Cheers Ian
-
I also spend a fair few days at santa Pod and agree totally. By the way is there mileage in a TMBF meet at a RWYB day ? I think it could be fun for those that want to play on the strip and lots of opportunity for piss taking from those that just want to watch. By the way it can become very addictive lol. What do you think @Stu ? Cheers Ian
-
@Fish How was the Aprillia or did the shed get insulated? Cheers Ian
-
Might be worth checking out "Frank Thomas " stuff as I believe they are made by the same people. Checkout J&S factory outlet in Finedon Northants which is H.Q and where I have had alterations done in the past. Cheers Ian
