Hi folks I would of loved to have joined in 1 of the ride outs tomorrow, rain or shine. But unfortunately I was taken off my bike in marsh Barton Exeter on the 14th July, by a silly women who decided to pull out when I was a few meters behind and do a u turn right n front of me. Hand is in plaster, ...

Thanks guys,

I might have to wait a while, as I’ve just had a very big bill for my car, running into several thousand pounds so I’m not in a position to pay workshop prices at the moment. But soon as funds allow will contact Matt at the motorcycle co.

Hi all, I’m after a recommendation of who to use. After several years of being sat up my bike is in need of the carbs stripping down cleaning and rebuilding. Will also need to get them all balanced. I have decided to bring it back to life & start riding again or maybe sell on. The carbs are 38mm...

Not to worry Ruffian, I’ve ordered the tool and will re-cut the threads myself
Cheers Mark

Evening Ruffian, I thought I posted the other day & I've only just realised I never pushed the submit button, I have sorted the tube ready to be threaded for 3/4”fittings. Unfortunately to keep it all looking even I need 4 threads to be done, would this still be ok. As I don’t want you thinking ...

I have access to a roto stock which is more for use on galv pipe up to 2"bsp. Other option is Tracy tools in newton abbot which are sensible price for items like that Hi Ruffian It is galvanised 3/4” pipe, my ex wife suffers from rheumatoid arthritis & has been struggleing with the handrai...

Evening folks, Sorry it’s not bike related, but does anybody own a 3/4” pipe die, I have a pipe vice but seems silly to spend £40 on a die for just 2 sets of threads, when somebody might own 1 that could either thread or lend it to me whilst I thread them outside there property or on the public road...

Can you put me down for this please, as of now I have no plans. But this might change for me nearer the time with work. Hopefully I should of got enough miles on the bike for 1st service before then.
Looking forward to attend, and placed in my diary.

I have a place pretty much lined up in Dawlish, thanks for the heads up on the gumtree advert, but sadly it was actually for a garage in Ashburton, but still worth a look. As the property fell through I’m now back on the lookout again, so no point secure the storage until I know exactly where I’m go...

I was hoping for a property in Teignmouth, but sadly it isn’t meant to be, still on the look in the area of dawlish/Teignmouth. I will be looking for something around 10ft x 8ft for storage. I’ve spoken to a couple people, but access might be my issue at the moment

Hi Folks, I’m currently in the process of looking for a flat/ small house to rent in the area. I’m having problems finding a suitable property or a property with a garage. So I’m looking at the possibility of finding secure storage for my bikes, can anyone recommend storage facility’s in the area or...

I may be interested in the Vito, please keep me informed after your mot and of your plans etc.

Not a problem, once we get more freedom would love to go out for a ride & have a chat. I’ve just had my 1st covid injection today, so looking forward to more freedom soon. Will arrange with you.

Welcome, not long joined myself. I’m also looking forward to ride outs, judging by comments from other members, it looks like there’s going to be a lot of interest on the rides

Cheers for the welcome, I’m really looking forward like us all to get some biking miles in. I’m itching to get my bike run-in fairly quickly as sonn as lockdown lifts.
These up & coming years are hopefully more play & less work.
