Wonder if Noraly hasn't at a stroke unintentionally bumped up the secondhand market value of every old XT600 Tenere out there? :cool:

I usually have to flex my throttle hand periodically while riding any kind of distance, otherwise I might find that I cant extend my fingers for the brake lever when required in a hurry. Further, I'll refrain from any weak humoured speculation as to the cause. ;)

I'm a cheapskate and use cricket bat grip. Doesn't last forever, but at least a year and it's about 80 bucks.

I'm surprised that there's been no mention on this thread of the Jawa 4 cylinder 2 strokes that were competitive in Grand Prix road racing in the 1970's. If I remember right World champion Bill Ivy was killed on one when his engine seized.

That's enlightening, thanks.

Not talking specifically about diesel here, so in that respect maybe a little off topic, but... Here in PE there is a tank farm at the harbour where fuel is discharged ashore from ships into the tanks. Then along come the road tankers to fill up and deliver to the various retail fuel stations in...

The bent sweptback clip ons look naff, but I guess you've got to be able to reach them. Think I prefer the Brick jobbie behind it.

Had me fooled until I read on. Picture looks like a twin in profile, and I wasn't aware of the new model. Ag well, can see the appeal for some, but doesn't really make me itch.

.....and more re. the DID chain riveter please.

So basically four 2 stroke parallel twins. Not too much discernible detail in the pic, but thinking of the crankcase sealing and coupling, and the final drive arrangement it seems hardly surprising that not too many made their way to market. :unsure:

We all want lighter bikes, within their respective capacity class. We say so repeatedly on every platform, but it can't happen seemingly. Legislation forces extra accoutrements to mute the noise and clean the emissions, or owners demand more complex and sophisticated add on's. Elton John. -...

Couple of things. This is a bit tongue in cheek, but has some basis I reckon. N/A if you're well heeled and can afford what you'd like. 1. Helmet. Buy the cheapest piece of shit that fits and keeps your ears warm. 2. Pants. Jeans will do, but my preference is Jonsson work pants which are a bit...

The most common one around in ' my day' was called Linklyfe. Can't remember who made it.

Just asking. What's the mat for?

But I wouldn't mind a ride. 😎

Agree with Dan. Wings on a bike, no matter how functional look bloody stupid. And I still don't like a bike where you cant see the engine as the main visual feature of the bike. And I'll bet it's a bastard to access the servicing components. And yes, I know, I know. I'll never be current. My...

Do your own thing. When it comes to chain lubing everyone's an expert, and everyone knows bugger all.

NC750 DCT Two day ride review and assessment. Okay, It'll do. (y)😊

Light or not that Enfield flying flea carried extra weight in the form of add on farkles like the tyre pump, but must have saved a lot of weight with those titchy brakes.
