  1. The bike is £117 if it was 44cc less it would be £84 yours is close to being in the PLG class.
  2. Just had the tax reminders for the marmite wagon and the dog due the end of the month, both in one envelope, for the two of them it's four fucking hundred and sixty fucking two fucking pounds the robbing cunts.
  3. I wonder if this going to be another shit motorcycle film. https://www.universalpictures.co.uk/micro/bikeriders?utm_medium=paid&utm_source=fb&utm_id=120209622926630736&utm_content=120210130557960736&utm_term=120209622926640736&utm_campaign=120209622926630736&fbclid=IwAR1EXrGYGE1BTAyKb7hWH5AfNkoKAgUMbHPnppyBMX841nQvIlQ8j9l6zxE_aem_ATZrmsZxRS4W89wXxbpLAOiiWY2Dd1p_ZKM8hN-BbTmuPc3-TFNKOO8RY7nKEOZzKvf9hoON0SPZj44KgyayPd7U
  4. Not sure about the vigor but if it's genuine mileage and been kept out of the weather i cant see why it wouldn't be a good bike. Something to look out for are parts they are getting harder to find now, for example i just rebuilt the rear suspension on my Dominator and found most of the bearing collars for the suspension linkage are no longer available and i ended up having to make one myself so check for play on the suspension and wheel bearings when your there. Not sure if the Swingarm pivot bolt is a problem with these bikes the XR has a habit of seizing in there but the setup is different between the two bikes. Splines can wear on the front sprocket drive shaft but again shouldn't be an issue on a low mileage bike Something you wont be able to check is the 650 engine had a problem with the cylinder heads cracking between the valve seat and spark plug hole which can let the valve seat drop out when they get hot. Another issue because of their age is the flexible part of the oil feed pipe from the frame to the engine can collapse internally and starve the engine of oil and you won't know about it until it happens shouldn't be a problem on a low mileage bike though. Read up on how to check the oil level as its a dry sump and a pain to check sometimes. Ask the owner to explain to you how to check the oil level and see if he knows how to do it correctly that should give you an idea if he is mechanically sympathetic or not.
  5. @Buckster it's a trap probably a box full of dog shit or a couple of moose cocks open it outside when it arrives
  6. I grew up using imperial because its what my father taught me as that's what his lathe and milling machine was. I use both now and sometimes mix it up when measuring stuff to confuse the co workers saying stuff like go and cut that twenty-nine and a half inches and three millimeters
  7. Will this report be the same as a certain video that didn't materialise followed by a flounce
  8. It doesn't help he's altered the gearing on his CRF and didn't realise until today its reading 12mph fast. so when riding in a 40 we were only doing 28mph and so on, I'm not trying to say he rides slow on the roads but he needs to change his speedo for a calendar
  9. He'd never get there LOL our plan was to ride up and do water breaks its neck and black Yat today. we only got as far as Painscastle which is probably around halfway, on my own i would have been there and back in time for afternoon tea
  10. He always wears one goes with his wellies
  11. Been out on the bike for over 11 hours today covered a massive 125 miles, if you could convert talking into miles me and Gary would have both got iron butt certificates today and almost no photos.
  12. Make your mind up are you working tomorrow or not
  13. Damn I'll have to go digging now, not going to ask the wife where they are as i'll be inundated with questions LOL
  14. Better start building that Ark then
  15. Yes it is an Italian import so the speedo was in Km/H and I just fitted a universal speedo that reads in MPH Should have got a KMH one and put a converter on it
  16. I had a little run on the dog this afternoon to bed the new chain and sprockets in. Only a short run the bikes ODO says 82 miles but the GPS tracked route says 71 miles i must sort that speedo out lol. I was following rain all afternoon luckily nothing fell on me. Some photos
