  1. Yeah but the engine's going to be fossilized by now . If the chassis is still good, swap the engine out for something bigger and make a great project bike.
  2. Single exhaust on the left. It's a 125cc Rs125 two stroke I reckon. Lots of fun to be had with that!
  3. Buy on a credit card, let your credit card company deal with their law breaking fake returns policy. Or better still, don't buy from them in the first place..

    My new steed

    Doubt you'll get 18k for it. 10k maybe if it's really good condition with some performance improvements. Guy I kno in southend sold a rotten one for 12k and that needed a full restoration Someone got mugged then. Look at the sold prices in eBay and current listings. You wont get 18k.

    WWII bombers

    And it's a great story how they landed for fuel afterwards and were expecting to get arrested but instead got refueled and released.

    My grandmother was a draftswoman for Hawker Siddeley. During the war and for a period afterwards. I often wondered which planes she helped draw the plans for. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_Siddeley
  9. Why can't you ride super sports for much longer?

    Brakes question

    I can recommend Kyoto or Rhino for this! Weirdly the no-name Chinese jobbies I've tried have had significantly more bite than those two brands.. Until they get hot then they forget they are brake pads and become ultra slippy frictionless things. Brake fade is the problem with cheap pads.
  11. Looks nice apart from the exhaust which looks like a total after thought.

    New bike

    You can get a brand new one for £150 per month.. So if you didn't spend cash buying your old one back and time and efforts breaking it and selling on eBay, you could put down a larger deposit and reduce the monthly payments.
  13. Not giving anyone a hard time, it's a pretty sensible question isn't it?? Well you kinda were mate, we all need a hand at points Ok well how about taking it as the sensible question that it was rather than getting all defensive and upset. Bikes aren't cheap, running bikes isn't cheap, biking gear isn't cheap. If it's genuinely about needing transport to get to work there are much cheaper alternatives to a Busa that won't leave you indebted to your family for years to come. If I'd wanted to give you a hard time I would have.

    WWII bombers

    Somewhere amongst my grandad's old stuff I have a genuine service manual for Halifax bombers. Incredibly detailed drawings showing how they are put together and details how to service them along with my grandad's own hand written notes. He was considered an expert on Halifax bombers and spent much of the war moving around the middle East telling people how to keep them flying. Got some fantastic photos of Halifax bombers parked up in sandy middle Eastern air strips too.
  15. CBT means Compulsory Basic Training. It basically is lessons. Just give it a go and if you pass great, if not they will ask you back for another try.
  16. Also dynax borrowed some funds so are you going to give him a hard time about it? Yes!, c'mon Joeman, give me a hard time , i'm older and my finances are bolloxed, Not giving anyone a hard time, it's a pretty sensible question isn't it??
  17. Dude, you're 33years old and having to borrow 4k from your gran which will take you a couple of years to pay back?? Doesn't that's ring any alarm bells with you about your financial situation and life choices??
  18. Bet you don't wear a neck brace or airbag jacket.. "full protection" is very subjective..
  19. One of the forum sponsors is related to them so best not give them too much stick.
  20. Collects "dolls" and rants like a......
  21. Runs her over then mounts the curb for another try!
  22. Someone needs to invent a water canister that can be attached to the exhaust downpipe to heat water up. Instant hot water for your snot-poodle when you stop
  23. Roll them in clay, and throw them in the fire. They bake inside and when your crack the clay off the spines come out.
