All Activity

Made some progress today. Got the silencers back on and fitted a new rear brake switch. Got a fair bit of cleaning done and started stripping the from fairing. I have a new screen to fit, plus I want to paint the mirrors and replace the Kawasaki mirror that is fitted with a Triumph one. Also fitted LED bulbs to the Headlights, I have ordered some LED side light bulbs as I didn’t have the right ones.

Id have to say @Sir Fallsalot for also flouncing... theres my nomination

Never tried it, i usually just get new fixings if they go rusty its easier

Has anyone one had much experience of black oxidising steel hardware, bolts and the like. I have hot quenched a few bolts to blacken them and I like the results but I am interested in doing it chemically as well and have bought a kit to do the same. I am blackening any thing that is rusty on my Sprint going with the Darth Vader theme. Just wondering if anyone else has tried this and have any info to share.

Strong argument Bob. I miss the silly fucker though

So a flounceing member can be enrolled ?

I'm voting for @Six30 for chastising people who flounce only to do it himself

Yep, I vote for @Saul as well , my second vote would be @Buckster for keeping this place going.

I guess he lives on the shore of the wick river , he's often goes swimming during the summer months..and really enjoys fishing ...

Looking at your profile@Buckster my causine Rishi lives in Glasgow now, have you been in that area? i've promice to visit him next year after the monsoon , he's been telling me it's like a little india , even the smells are the same ?

Mrs. Hook & I were invited to dinner at a friend's place in Cove OR this evening...it'll be nice to get outta the house amidst all the liquid Sunshine that's been falling from the sky lately...

DITTO....stand up & take a bow @Saul...you've earned it.

Funny how that "carbon fiber" toe protection looks just like a piece of duct tape.... state of the art for India I guess.

They’re pressuring to do it earlier so it doesn’t coincide with the Dakar, I told them to get their priorities straight!

It's a major event in the motorcycle industry calendar.

I can't take it, the guys from MCN, Cycle World, Motorrad and Motociclismo don't leave me alone in anticipation to this.

The picture submission thread will start on the 24th December, late afternoon, to brighten up your Christmas. Then, depending on the number of submissions and assuming there's going to be plenty, we'll have a two stage vote. It'll start on the 27th, I assume the voting will be very scattered and by the 29th I'll trim it down and only the top 4 or 5 entries will remain, so that on the 30th and 31st a winner emerges.

I'll nominate @Saul, for always posting uplifting posts and his positive take on motorcycling, improving his bikes and doing maintenance on bikes for a team of teenagers!

You've been warned ...Im gonna force you to take down that thread in the intro section , its up to you if you want to end this in a civil manner , you can go ahead and change my avatar and user name back now...

You see @Buckster....do you know what 3 D chest is ? I've already beaten you , you just don't know it yet...lol.

This is a picture of the first prototype...

Has another side project, we are plagued with foot injuries here in india , so Im in the process of developing a totally new concept with one of my Chinese counterpart , a flip flop motosicle boot , its basically a flip flop with a carbon fiber toe protection built in ....
