My former wife (rest her soul) started out riding an earlier Sprint....she loved it as her Dad raced flat-track back then. I thought I'd won the lottery when I met her...being a Nurse who rode motorcycles & skied.

It was a heavily tuned GSXR1000 with at least 250hp.

You lot are just intimidated by the raw Harley power. I was at a drag strip today and ran a 8.6 without even trying, I would post proof but unfortunately I don’t know how so you are just going to have to accept what I say.

So they copied the c50 oh and you nob

Mummy WTF ....ummm

Make sure we get some pics of the mrs @Clive

Come on the 125 dropped a gear at the beginning of the vid. If it was a Gixxer 1000 it would have been off like a stabbed rat. .

Surprise! Surprise!......... my front disc pads have turned up! But look where they came from!

All done now and early indications are it has cured the oil burp. The new breathers look too pretty to cover up but I'll know they are there.

My CBF600S has the wrong colour front brake callipers. They have obviously been replaced at some point with callipers from a naked CBF600N which are black not gold. They are functionally identical and work fine but it is getting on my tits that it’s wrong. So for no other reason than to satisfy my OCD, I am going to replace them. I got a second hand set of gold callipers from eBay for £27 and at the same time I ordered a rebuild kit for them for £34 from Wemoto. I started stripping and cleaning the callipers up today and to my surprise they are pretty good. All threads perfect and pistons appear spotless. I am waiting for the tool to come to get them out and polish them up. I know there are other ways to get the pistons out but I wanted the right tool which is coming tomorrow. I would guess that I don’t really need to replace the seals but I am going to because I have the new ones on the bench. First attempt at cleaning has brought them up quite well. There are a few minors blemishes here and there but I think the callipers will look fine once they are on the bike, after all it is 18 years old. Of course there will be more cleaning before I fit the new seals. Before anyone pipes up, if this is boring fuck off and read about Marcy’s adventures. I am a bike geak and I like this sort of stuff.

I think our resident Viking and king of speed may have flounced.

I’m a Viking.

New Harley Sprint for 2026 model year

Starmer is just a waste of space and oxygen.....

This storm has stopped more boats today than Starmer has in the last year.

Mummy be interested what grouper tastes like

Nice, yamaha blue

That's an Aermacchi you bell end.

Well I suppose that would make it reliable

They are the same thing

That place is wild!

Extremebikes? Must be the bastard love child of Pete and @Pedro.

Mablethorpe is the Algarve of the U.K.

No, it was a full sized Harley.

125 wasn't it?

Unless they were in a bus, then you would crash into a ditch.

Very neat job.................... and Tony the tools never had to touch a spanner
