  1. I can head over tomorrow if you need a hand Ollie......just not too early, as I'm planning on having a beer or 3 this evening.....
  2. I was going to say Kreiga until I saw your price range.......but I think you'd be hard pushed to find anything reliable enough at that money..... Invest in a Kriega and it'll serve you well......
  3. I've got an angle grinder......
  4. Sunshine of Your Love - Cream....
  5. Would removing the rear pillion hanger help?
  6. Can you get into it with a hacksaw? Go inbetween the clamp to cut the bolt going through?
  7. Welcome to TMBF mate.......pop over to the Newbies section and introduce yourself when you can...... And don't shout....
  8. Haha......you've got the bug now.....
  9. Have a look on eBay for a textile jacket with armour.......but be warned, if it's really cheap it's likely to leak and fall apart.......you may be better off looking for a decent secondhand one....... Good luck with the CBT......

    Gear jumping?

    Could be as simple as a badly adjusted chain........but it could also be bent or damaged selector forks.....
  11. poor bugger.....wonder if he ever got the bike out of there......
  12. Nooooo.......don't let Mattycoops see these......esp the one with the viffer swing arm.......
  13. Congrats mate........happy days......
  14. Cut the green wire.......no, wait, the brown wire........no, hold on, the green wire.......but then again, the brown wire...... Or....instead of cutting wires you could use Scotch Blocks......
  15. My first bike and the Trophy I had a few years back are the only bikes I've not tinkered with..... I like putting my stamp on my bikes.....not normally anything too outrageous.....but just personalizing them..... Most of the bling on my Speedy was on there when I bought it.......I've just added a couple of things to it to make it mine...... The Honda is a different matter though.......most of the customising so far has involved an angle grinder......
  16. I don't know mate. Who is likely to stand an ogle a Bonnie? Not me unless its a proper pre 70's one. Its a Bonnie (Well its a Bonnie in name alone) . Why Triumph decided to use this name on such a bland and average bike is beyond me. They should have used the name on a rip snorting fast bike (as the originals were). But after watching the Australian video review of the Bonnie all I see now when I look at one is the f***ing stupid head steady bracket at the back of the engine. I find all the twin range of Triumphs the most uninspiring range of bikes to look at. As I have said before Kawasaki got the "classic" looks right and so much better than Triumph with their W800 bike. Please keep this thread on topic......if you want to discuss the bikes styling, feel free to start another thread.....

  18. Welcome to TMBF mate...... I'm actually cafe racering a CB750 F2N.......so, not a classic K......but I've got to say that the K's do make nice cafe racers......
  19. Tango

    non starter?

    Hahahaha......seller is a right chancer then....... Yep....walk away from that one.......
  20. Just checking..... TBH mate.....for the minimal performance gain I'm not sure it would be worth the cost.......but ultimately it's your bike and your money......but just consider that when you come to sell it on you'll be restricting the market as 17-19 year olds will be excluded and most 19+ year olds would be looking for a bigger bike.....
  21. The immediate question is, do you intend to ride this bike on a CBT?.......coz upping the capacity to 180cc will invalidate your license and insurance.......and the performance gains will be minimal......
  22. Tango

    non starter?

    Unless it's mega cheap.......then it may be worth it as a project.......
  23. Girls Got Rhythm - AC/DC
  24. Speedie.......from a recent photoshoot......
  25. Get a one piece oversuit to go over your leathers......
