I take it there is no option of stopping in the paddock the night before ?

It’s a shame as the rest of the bike has been built really quite well.

Previous owner, but he assured me it was worth a second a lap !

Is anyone on here or know of anyone local to Bristol that’s ha day at sticking bits of metal together.

I’m need a battery box fabricating from 2mm (ish) sheet aluminium.

I have a crappy template (old box) to work from if it helps

I’m booked in with Superchips who it seems like many of these places complete a simple plug and play map. Looking forward to seeing the difference

Has anyone ridden the North Coast 500 ? I’m looking to go up towards the end of May but unsure how many days it’ll take. I don’t intend to race round but I’ve read different accounts of some taking anything from a single day to a week. I’ve toured Europe in the past, but the roads were pretty easy g...

Swingarm almost grafted to the frame, quite a bit of machining, measuring and re-measuring. Next stage, dog bones, what length ad how to attach them to the swingarm

That’s good advice Ruffian, anyone in particular you can recommend?

I’ve bought myself a Merc Sprinter to cart my bikes about. Love driving it but with the 313 engine it’s a little asthmatic!

Has anyone had their van remapped, did it make a difference or is it likely to become a ticking time bomb ?

It was all fun, but at the same time frustrating. Enjoyed endurance racing when it used to be 6 hours, very much a team effort. My last full season was in 2010, it was a massive effort and by the end a financial burden, but came away with a bunch of plastic pots and a title. I raced 400’s and 600’s,...

So the idea was a return to racing for 2021, nothing too serious and opted for a Minitwin class, this soon changed to Supertwin as it provides a little more freedom to fettle with the bike. So far I’ve been able to turn a reasonably sorted svr650 into bike confetti. The idea, to strip all the bearin...

Cheers for the feedback all. I think there are options available, the sticky point is cruise control as even bikes such as the Z1000sx have only just received this as standard. My Deauville is being collected this Saturday and hopefully looking at an option either Sunday/Monday, a Triumph 1200 Explo...

It’s been a while since I last posted I’m looking to change my work bike. I regularly travel into the centre of London and have found the best way to commute from S’Wales rather than train or car is by bike, ease of getting around the city just makes it a no brainier. My current hack is a Deauville,...

Do you have pay-pal details ?

Im going to chance it and hope I have my bike in time

Couple of years back I took a bit of time out and did some motorcycle couriering, this unfortunately coincided with the winter weather. I decided if I was going to do it I want to make sure I was bloody warm. The kit I bought was great it was just my hands I had a problem with. I tried mitten gloves...
