Chris was along the right lines - it's Italian.
Looks very much like a Garelli 50 - used to have one as a kid

Glad it past mate,MOT's can be nervous times.........i know i was when i took the CBR in for one - i was 99.9% certain it was gonna fail,so i practically fell over in the garage when the guy told me it had past! :lol: :lol: Nowt wrong with a trailie,even a big one like that,just think of the bottom-...

Have a great BBq - and good luck with that track bike!

You can't beat the steel-framed CBR600's

Multi-bike policies can be a tricky area mate - personally i didn't think
your quote sounded too bad.

Not all insurers do multi bike schemes either.

I've just recently insured my CBR1000F,best i could get was £258
fully comp with 3yrs no-claims - that was with H&R

Crikey - is that the same bike that was laid
up in my garden for a few years......

Top Job you've done there Chris mate,you should be proud of yourself.

Hows it going apart from the sticky 'valves?

Ah well buddy - Rome wasn't built in a day! Can't wait to see what the RD is like when you've finished!

Excellent news Chris,glad to hear it's coming together! I'd like to see pictures when it's done! 8) I was going to rebuild my other one - but after finding out one of the big-end bearings had let go as will as a piston,it was going to cost in the region of £500 just to sort the motor........... :cry...

Hmmmmm,sounds like fuel starvation.

the carb would be a good place to start - check the jets aren't blocked
and clean it if needs be.

Hey,thats pretty good m8,very surprising considering the points increase...

Wow - looks like you had a great time,that Stelvio pass looks awesome!

Sadly i ride a real touring bike and haven't got out of the UK on it yet.
(but hope to in the future!

who says you can't go food shopping on a bike?

Tell me about it m8 - gotta make the best of what we've got at the moment - won't be able to get a ZZR1400 for a couple of years yet...

Got a 1995 CBR1000F m8 - we are thinking about de-linking the brakes,not because we don't like the system.....but because it's playing up a bit.... We've bled the brakes in order as the Haynes manual states,and had the front callipers apart for a good clean,but they are still binding.Can't figure it...

I went last year and wasn't too impressed for £10 entry...granted some of the clothing and lids were cheap,but saving up for the NEC instead,far more worthwhile.......

I'm not looking forward to MOT time as we're having
front brake binding problems on the CBR,stripped 'em all down and been through em,and can't find anything obvious wrong with them.....mind,it ain't that straight forward with it's linked brakes!
