Nice one moose, seeing a TL makes me wanna go out and get another one straight away. Did you get theTLR clocks to work out ok on the wiring then? I keep thinking that I'll pop down one day for a gas but the usual gets in the way. Andy

there are loads of choices out there, the honda crf230, yamaha serrow225 (kick and electric start) or better still the gas gas pampera (2 stroke and kick start but incredibely easy to start and even easier to ride) give em all a look

use the ol mr sheen on my superduke which has a matt finish and it seems to work fine and is easier to clean afterwards as well, i do all the plastics, engine and exhaust as well. no probs. also do my leathers with it to help keep em waterproof. job done

is anyone going to weston bike meet tomorrow, thur 6 aug. thought i'd zap along hopefully on the old russian neval and sidecar. if so hope to see ya there

hi colin. i had 3 of em in bits in the early 90s and so built one good one and unfortunately gave the rest away. they are brilliant bikes with a huge amount of torque for an old bike. lovely to ride but quite thirsty. i think a 76 would be an L or and M model but i cant remember. very little goes wr...

by the way Vercon, it's easy enough to rebuild 6 pots although a little expensive if the pistons are scored or scabby. i would be intersested if you wanna flog em

i have chopped and changed nissan, tockico 6 and 4 pots on my tl and find the 6 pots work best but only if you use decent sintered pads which is the prob with most brakes, i prob would have been as well just to use sintered pads and braided lines with the 4 pots with equally good results. i had at o...

i can quite understand not cycling, especially in the winter, but by the time you've got all yer kit on and the bike outta the garage you would almost be pulling in to college. and you'll be saving wear on the ped as far as warming up goes i will let the bike idle until choke off and then ride it st...

been into enduros for a few years now and not heard of that one. sounds good but i don't have a bike at mo, and reg has finished. be good to watch some of it though. might make a trip

man oh man i'm loving this guy. thought i was going to waste a whole evening reading all the posts
you know their out there but you rarely come across a live one as good as that
he'll take himself out of the gene pool sooner or later anyway

sorry gaz, got a bake been fer a brain, don't know why i spelt 'gazhawk' and not 'gazkwack'

getting yer knee down generally has little to do with cornering and more to do with looking good just concentrate on smooth cornering keeping an eye on the vanishing point and exit all the time (which most people don't do) trust yer bike and tyres and keep in a gear lower than normal and it'll come ...

skiing hmmmm, lets see, fantastic snow on the alps and pyranesse at the mo, prob fairly warm up there now.
i dunno are you sure you won't play down in falmouth instead
come on it'll be a giggle

just wondering if anyone was around falmouth or truro on sat apr 4th as me and a few mates will be down there from fri till sun on the peds.

nice bunch of people and i look forward to meeting up again soon
take it easy yall. andy
