  1. Hello, sounds like it will be a short visit. says something when you/they dont learn the first or second time...what it does say is the thiefing scum bags in your area are persistent magpies.
  2. Natural hatred of the scams. that's probably why he offered half or just a chancer. wouldn't surprise me experian want paying to correct there cook up, as a new money making enterprise.
  3. thats because they're good enough and adapt to do nearly owt on. im not a honda fan but its definitely one of hondas great works for anyone but often overlooked models.
  4. fan fav of penetrating fluids, shock treatment (hammer the tool bit while its in) or a hammer on power tool setting, reverse presser so you try to turn it IN abit more before trying to turn it back out. reverse threading tap is good, failing that drill it out start small and work your way bigger, tapping to clean the tread out.
  5. yeah feel for you, sometimes newer isnt always better. bit of a fan of bangernomics for both bikes and cars. all but two cars and one bike have been well run it before i had them. highest mileage car i had was 150-160,000 and i got it to around 198800 ish before it came a cropper to a flood/ford. my brothers is a volvo at over 400,000mls hes got it ovrr 500,000 and its still going strong. my highest bike was 50,000, think bros was 60? could of been a bit more. saved a tidy some with each one.
  6. heard good things to away from mag reviews, my boss has one and uses it for sunday best. certainly not for everyone but if you out of the typical crowd then it fits more of those.
  7. hello
  8. fairly common here but over your way not sure how good the database is or how much it would cost you. id only bother to check it if you believe the bike's condition is good and everything seems to be in order first, then check the vin but if the bike doesnt have papers anyway to check first hand while your looking at in in person id walk away but how things work on your side of the world may be less bothered.
  9. with
  10. well at your height the best is getting one that is particular to your unless you want to look and feel of being king kong on a mini bike, As IFF was told and worked it out eventually. i will put forward Honda xl125v varadero, used (so cheaper) but tuff and built more like a normal size bike (normal dimensions), been round for ages so no surprises. v twin is not gustless and not needing 10k revs to keep up with traffic compared to singles. your only wanting to sit on it for a year or two at max? no point spending more on a new/newish bike then have to loses more only to spend more to get the next bike. if tou drop a newer bike, youll be pissed off and prices for parts have gone up on the newer model bikes.
  11. ok good but not sure why youd wet it? earths and ground wires are the good and clean? could be a shortening of a wire, check connectors and loom.
  12. poor ones are £1k decent old ones are 1.5, newer ones are 2k
  13. get well soon! i mean really soon as i thought post office red is ment to be a red, not KTM orange....
  14. Geofs post of the last saying its a grey area i see too but still went over line of very wrong. same as nick, their all just plain wrong. Not much balance of circumstances that include weight of under duress or like the test of - 5 random people on one track and 1person you know on the other which one do you send the train down sort of thing....
  15. finding a rack is one thing but the fitting plate and case/topbox to match it is another thing. when you say too wide, how much or why?
  16. metal or plastic? you could cut them down to make a difference that the spring makes due to its length and strength. so if the spacer is 10cm and the spring is 2cm difference and you had the preload at say 7 or more out of ten applied previously -how much difference does each line/wind does it do to the spring? 1-2mm? you could minus those off the spacer too to help counter the new spring.
  17. problems, price, weight, battery, distraction/adaption, fogging/rain and structural integrity to pass safety standards just to name a few.
