looking good.

Such beautiful landscapes there.......quite breathtaking really.

Solid bikes those.

They did a rebuild of one of those on Matt's Offroad Recovery some time back (youtube - it was the old man Ed's bike). Dog slow, but they were clearly built with a purpose in mind. He used it back in the day when he did gold prospecting in the mountans- if you see where they were "riding", you...

Ja- all the changes and expenses made it a non-starter for me. I had two 80's bikes that I could have run, but would have been totally uncompetitive against the money-bags bikes. Great pity that it went the way that it did.

Aaaahhhh.......that could have been me! At Killarney? With Buddy's ELR? MSA stuffed up that class.........

Nope. I bought mine from Cliftons that was over the road from where Donald's shop is now. Ex race bike of theirs.

I do remember you from then. I was on a GPZ550D1 back then.......I think that you had the 1100 at the time - same colour scheme.

And sometimes stuff still slips through.... I was sorting out some stuff for a deceased client of ours yesterday. Widow was included in the correspondence. His name was Errol. Really great old chap. I triple checked, quadruple checked (I'm quite vain about my written correspondence...). This...

Donald is a great guy. Can be a little grumpy if people talk k*k and waste his time. He's been in that game for many many years - If I need something that I can't find anywhere it's guaranteed that he'll either have it, or know where to get it. I've been knocking on his counter since about 1992...

Probably a good idea to check that there isn't any runout on your output shaft if it got sucked through there (ie between chain and sprocket). Even a couple of mm extra will result in very high chain tension for a second or two. Also bearing......

Brett Clark, one of the owners of Cycle City here in CT back in the day. Returning from a rally, tie down strap got caught in the wheel at speed - ended with his funeral. Prob not the same incident. Really pays to be careful with tying stuff to your bike.

safe travels!

Update - I've found a full set of bodywork locally. The chap doesn't want to sell bits and pieces, so I have to take the whole lot. He raced one for some years, and removed all of the bodywork when he put it on the track (used fibreglass farings for the track). A little pricey, but I suppose...

Wish that type of place was commonly available over here.........just by the eye it would suit my needs perfectly.

Be glad that it's not a 1098.........230mn torque on that one. Fun and games to remove and refit.

I still have that album on vinyl.......brings back some memories!

I would think that the marbles between esselbank and oasis road would more than make up for that......:ROFLMAO:

Looks taller than you aleady!

Such a nice route that. Close by for us Capies, and such lekker scenery and riding - nothing to too bad.
