Yorky

You know what you are being told is incorrect. The seller is obviously just glad to be rid of it and therefore trying to convince you to keep it.

I've no idea about the registration requirements for this type of vehicle but I would be returning it under Trade Descriptions (or something similar)

Are you sure you've got that the right way around ??

Much as I hate to appear cynical, you join a forum and your first post is asking people to send you £70 for something that you claim to have for sale, and only when you have the money in your account  will you send any information about the goods.

Yorkshire version, just follow your local postie for 10 minutes and they're free.

The only advice I can give is ride as many as you can  

And the same goes for bikes too

Or spend a bit more time searching for the one that you lost, it's got to be there somewhere

To be properly retro a bike's engine should 'ping' as it cools. Some engines are specifically designed to achieve this.

To be PROPERLY retro, where ever you park for more than 5 minutes should look like the Torrey Canyon was there.

You may have a point there I think I got more advice on how to plaster my ceiling than how to change the loom...

 

But since you mention it, I am going service my brake calipers.

 

I have noticed before when I services my forks any oil dropped leaves a terrible mess on the patio.

 

Any one got any suggestions on how to remove the stains??

Coke, the type that you drink, not snort.

Assuming you have a full licence just get a bike and ride, it won't take too long before you remember how to ride like you used to

And what if he was shit 1st time around??

I've never had a satnav, and don't understand the need for one  over a decent phone  either on earbuds only or in a decent holder.

I use Waze, G Maps and sometimes Calimoto on the phone and never had an issue.

Not knocking the above, I use Waze a lot in the car/van. But none of these will let you pre-plan your route to any great accuracy. They will take you there the fastest route which isn't necessarily what you are wanting.

And yes, I know you can choose to ignore them

I have one very similar which I use to load my trail bike into the van with. Good piece of kit for the job.

Thanks for the welcome chaps.

Hope to contribute something worthwhile eventually
