Ive just fitted a pair of these to the Threeanarf Sport so that Mrs GB doesn't have to lay across the fuel tank when she does start riding it :D Theyve certainly helped with the riding position though Im a little concerned how easily they will slip despite being bolted up tight. Its the vertical sec...

and so you do not drop it down the pushrod tube, magnetise the allen key first so it does not drop off, or a bit of fag paper to wedge it on. That sounds like the voice of bitter experience - is there a tale to tell? :lol: I did it myself once with a cam sprocket bolt when rebuilding a Honda CB125 ...

The comedian Rick Hall told of his Aunt once being struck by lightning between the first and second hole whilst on a golf course. He believed that was something to do with her stance

A pal of mine sent me this little gem from what I assume was a respected magazine at the time
I'm nipping out for a couple of bags of gravel this afternoon

My 82 Sport has a grease nipple in the right hand end of the shaft. I'm guessing it's standard

Hello again, Dom. My frame number is 22901, so just a little earlier than yours. Manufactured date is down as 1982. The new hydraulic brake switches arrived from Venhill and were duly fitted, so I now have a fully dependable brake light. Apart from fitting a pair of mirrors it's now pretty much read...

Yup, living up here in the Danelaw certainly has many advantages Best not to gloat though, MM, we don't want too many folk to find out!

Although its a vasstly different machine, I insured my modern bonneville for 80 quid last year with Swinton. I was previously with Bennetts who were around that price the year before but nearly doubled it for the renewal. I know that Swinton were looking at introducing multibike policies so you may ...

Hello, Dom. Those rubbers are stamped with what looks like MM so I assume theyre original/genuine. I'd like to get hold of a horn grille at some point. When I got the bike the trumpet was pointing upwards - presumably no rain was expected :) I fully agree with your comments about the indicators (the...

Good morning, John. I've re-routed my brake lines now so that they pass between the fork legs below the bottom yoke and above the mudguard. It looks much better. I just need to sort out some guides to stop them rubbing on the paintwork. Something near to the front mudguard mounting bolt on the fork ...

Praps the old memory isnt as bad as Id feared its been a few years since I was in the area on a cycle ride. Sobering to think of the numbers that died on that field isnt it?
Thanks for the pictures. That Morini looks well, much better than one sitting in a garage

Looks vaguely familiar. Its not Marston Moor is it? We spent the afternoon on Carr Naze, Filey watching the snow buntings. It wouldve been a belter of a day to get a bike out though. I was surprised to see that the bike cafe at Staxton was closed given the glorious weather, but having said that we s...

Thanks for that, Mike. As it happens the new 6 quid mechanical front stop switch has already thrown its hand in simply during the course of bleeding the brakes :? How many times have I told myself 'Buy cheap, buy twice'? The original rear hydraulic one is also a bit hit and miss so Ive ordered a pai...

When I first saw it, buzby, I thought it was just a duff or shoddy bit of restoration by a previous owner and that it would really bug me. I've since seen one of the brochures on the MRC site that has the same misalignment :? It still bugs me but my irritation is now directed towards MM :D If the pa...

Thanks, chaps. Re the brake pipes - I wondered if that might be the case - either that or a single line to one caliper and a rigid 'jumper' pipe across to the other side, under the mudguard, as per the earlier twin-disc BMWs like my R100RT. The braided pipes that were fitted have been made long enou...
