Very little free time lately for various reasons, and terrible weather that always seems to coincide. Got up early on Saturday with a view to taking one of the bikes out briefly. There are only 2 th ... |

Welcome Roy, it was me who pointed you here from that other forum.
And that's me in the pic above, on my wife's NSR50. Was a good day at Paul's pub that !  |

Went house-hunting again on Saturday. My favourite of the 3 we looked at had a 30'x40' double-height garage, with adjoining workshop, kitchen and man-cave complete with pool table, log-burner and mas ... |

My TDR was year-round transport back in the late 80's. I loved it, but despite washing all the crap off regularly, by spring it looked like it'd been at the bottom of the sea.  |

My wife was worried her NSR wouldn't pass the emissions test at next MOT, so I stuck a cat on it today.

It runs, for the first time since Aug 2011 ! All I did was stick a splash of fresh fuel in and kick it over less than a dozen times. It has a couple of fuel leaks but I need to sort it front ... |

Anyone get any good 2 stroke related pressies this year? Or any motorcycle related pressies even?
Nope.
It's time and space I need, and you can't really wrap those up.  |
