Re: Kickstart oil seal question

I found that the answer is to use the sidestand as rarely as possible, just for getting on and off, and live with it. Mine will drip if leant over but doesn't when on the centre stand.

Re: Wanted: Kanguro X2 centre stand

I am now in Italy, Mauro lives about 20 mins from where I am. I am back in NL halfway october and can bring some along (if he has them). And yes they are for the X2 and X3 but will also fit the X1 and also the roundtube Camels. On the last one it's not the best fit, and a bit high on its legs when ...

Re: Welcome new forum members - introduce yourself

Any reason you want 500 rather than a 350? You're restricting yourself quite a lot.

Indeed; and without him Allen Millyard would just be seen by very few people on Page 28 of MCN!

Re: Cable operated choke?

My Guzzi has a cable to both carbs, though that is still a flip up so all or nothing. Both my Morinis start (when they choose to) on one choke, never 2. Makes no sense but that's how it is! Wouldn't want to risk messing that up.

Re: Bikes in Bus Lanes by Default

Worth signing because it's a pain at the moment. In London you can be happily and legally trundling down a bus lane, only to change boroughs and it to become illegal! I got caught with that a few years back.

Re: For sale: Boxford AUD Mk.II lathe project.

Thanks for that Vitesse, although, erm... what happens if someone pays cash on collection? :? Do ebay demand some sort of payment? :? Oy boy, that's a real can of worms. Basically they do everything possible to stop you doing that. You'll find it all but impossible to give someone your address or n...

Re: For sale: Boxford AUD Mk.II lathe project.

Yes, Ebay has changed. The seller no longer pays fees but they add it on for the buyer.
