Gay fantasy ??

There’s already an ugly knob on the seat.

It’s flouncing time.

Grab your tin helmets everyone

Damn I look good at every point in history.

Saul was asking to get his beard fixed....here you go Saul , have to say , you shaved 15 years off ....looking good....the tint might be off...looks like KTM orange...lol.

Touring? If only there was a section for that. Day ride? If only there was a section for that. Rally? If only there was a section for that.

Out and about in a balmy 11c. Pleasant 40 miles or so.

The sun just came out! .......it's gone back behind the clouds now. Going to have a look at a non running Lexmoto Vixen (to tinker with)......it is free to collect....it is located only 5 miles from here..... getting it here back could be a slight problem though....

Just if you have been out and about, not a day ride just a spin. Had to pop out this morning to get some flux core solder. Nothing exciting just good to be on 2 wheels. And yes that beard needs controlling

Birth defect?

Only if AI can generate someone falling off.

Hahaha !!...here's a more realistic picture of Buckster...

The Alzheimer’s is kicking in.

Valve check done on Saturday, all within spec. Did at my mates workshop with him watching over. He is much better qualified than me plus has all the tools. Anyway took no photos, he is keen on privacy. I didn’t really care, also looks to me like they were checked at the last service but of course a guess. Carbs off and on again to day, I neglected to fit new fuel lines after doing them. A mistake that is fixed now. Got fitting the carbs off to a fine art although it took some swearing to learn it. Got some electrickery to sort, new indicators, heated grips, voltmeter, usb charging and stuff to sort than I should be on the road.

https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/kawasaki/kawasaki_gpz305.htm I remember the belts being a known issue of the GPz305's. That was many years ago though. I know you can get belt kits for many various bikes now. My only experience is helping my mate set such a kit up on his Royal Enfield 650. I didn't like the amount of tension he had to set it at. Just a gut feeling but I wouldn't run a chain tight like that. His money his choice, I didn't mind as he was the guy who gave me the xSystem Scottoiler that is now on my Hornet.

How many years ago was that Clive ...year and mileage ? I can't fantom snapping a belt with a 300cc , unless it was the earlier years when they first came out....and the belts weren't has good I guess...

I always heard good things about the GPZ 305.....1 of the few small bore belt drive bikes...

https://www.china-parts.co.uk/ I used i used these peeps when i used to fix the school lads bikes for them..scoots and bikes. Lots of carbs BLR'ed and coils some switch gear and ecu's...main faults..Engines seem ok, like all small motors they need oil cahnges at about 800miles cycles..Only ones i had that would have costalot were some of the scooters...Bin them chassis on some rot. Lyn.

You could always MoT it and sell it sometime down the road. Fun project nonetheless.

My old XS 750. The cat had the right idea. This was 40 years ago.

PPS: plus it will also make the young Lady happy.

Thanks, HH the soft lad cried when he saw it. Apparently he thinks it looks better than when he bought it. I don't know as it has always looked like a death trap to me but he had the bike long before he met Shadow. All I can say is that I am glad he liked his birthday present and I enjoyed playing bikes doing it. Reminds me of being a kid and having to make stuff good myself as paying someone was out of the question.

Let's not ...........

I've had 2 shafties....both from '83...XJ 750 Maxim & VF 750 Sabre. Both were pretty smooth, & I found especially w/ the Maxim, that if I upshifted w/o the clutch, that chassis jacking was almost non-existent. Both were a bit heavy feeling, but the Sabre felt heavier of the two....typical Honda...lol

I've only riden one shaft drive bike ...it was my cousin bike , and 83 magna v 65...it sure was a weird feeling when the rear suspension would jump up like two inches...lol. Im now sold on belt drive now...easy 100 thousand miles service life if riden property..no mess.....

Back in the Marmite Scottoiler subject. I fitted the eSystem to my CBF and moved the xSystem over to my Hornet. Both systems were given to me but I am a Scottoiler convert so have actually bought a vSystem for the Sprint.

It’s utterly shit, every time it rains large parts of the roads here are under water as the drains are not maintained. You can’t see the bloody pot holes because of all the standing water. The gimps responsible for maintaining the roads don’t understand the effect of water/ hydraulic action on the road surface, or maybe they just don’t care. When the water drains away there is gravel, mud and sand all over the roads and they don’t give a shit about that either. I despair of this country.

Been dar dun all dat...Looks ok to me, as you say a few feet away...But the lad likes it and shown you he does..Nice one Sir.

Nice work @Saul...looks a helluva lot better.

I'll be fine, I know where my nuts are .............

I bet it was worth every penny

Well this morning had a blood draw ....they nearly took a half pin out...like 10 vilds....and we had a ice fog overnight..kinda rare for this time of year...it coat the trees nicely...

I have gone and bought a hairdressers car...

Cheers. He is, but if it were my bike I would have taken much longer over the job, looks good from a few feet away but not so much up close. But you know teenagers they want everything right now. He doesn't understand why I am taking my time over the Sprint but I want it right so I feel it's good. Again my problem I suppose.
