Beautifull !!!

I also converted to the progressive springs from NLM a few years ago. Very similar experience to Jem's. I haven't placed the 8.5 cm spacers and it's really fine like that. I remember they were really easy to install, only little pressure was required to re-install the nut. The difference with progre...

Are Harleys actual motorbikes?

Enfie, you are a lucky man. Together with Corsica, Scotland must be best place in the world to ride a Morini (but in Corsica they miss the single Malt). And you are a wise man, a Morini is surely the best bike for riding in Scotland. Much pleasure - ride safely (and the safest place is ahead of the ...

Hi Tom,

That's why it has seized: not used enough... But sometimes you need them to avoid a big fat Jap bike at Mansfield

I'll be glad to meet everyone again. That's a long time...

Good luck, Moules-Frites! I haven't been riding for a while; spent all my time last year building a house. Last week-end I wanted to do the maintainance before summer holidays (including Cadwell). The engine started easily, but I soon discoverezd the rear brake was seized. Probably corrosion. The wo...

We're at least 3! I'm living in Franière, close to Namur.

Welcome to MRC's new Belgian section!

I didn't know British bikes had any oil seal at all ???

Yes, when I bought my 500 it had 3 different colour schemes: red with gold and red strips on the front mudgard, red with white and black strips on the tank and one side panel, and red with two white strips on the second side panel... I guess it did not come like that from the factory, but it shows h...

Maybe the easiest way (not relying on gearbox and sprocket ratio or tyre dimension) is to ride at a steady speed on a highway, and check how much time you need to cover a certain distance. For instance (and excuse me for the metric units...) if you ride 120 km/hour it takes you 30 second to make 1 k...

PHBH 30's ! I'm afraid I won't be able to follow you next year in Cadwell...

Cheers,

The fork is the same as the Ducati Pantah, except for the springs (harder for the Ducati, how did you guess?).

Good luck!

Steve, according to your logic a Bar tabac should be a British speciality. In a bar you want to drink and only British bikes leak enough oil to get a full pint of it. In France, a bar tabac is a place where you can both have a drink and buy cigarettes -they get a license for that. With the new regul...

I think the new name for Koni is Ikon. If not, something similar with the same letters. Over the years, I have used Koni and Marzocchi for the rear shocks. Marzocchis are beautifully red and Italian, with the separate gas tank, but I found the Konis were the best and longer lasting. For the front I ...

I also use progressive springs on my 500 and they improve both the comfort and the behaviour when braking hard.
