  1. Is there a screw in the bottom? Drop the axle out & look up into the fork casting. Normally you crack the bolt prior to disassembly so you may need to put everything back & start again. Then you can remove the entire rod/cartridge assembly. Like this one p/no 22 http://www.ronniesmailorder.com/fiche_section_detail.asp?section=128077&category=MOTORCYCLES&make=HONDA&year=2003&fveh=3035

    I did have one of the photosensitive ones last year but found it a bit slow to react and also never really got dark enough in strong sunlight. went back to my far more effective and way cooler gold irridium, carry a spare clear on me.

  4. Get a service, as in pay for it? We could manage that Dave surely?
  5. You're right Matt, the more I look at them the more sense a D series 1100 makes for me in Spain. Just really would like another VFR800,for the sound as much as anything.
  6. Blimey Nick I know the Long Itch Diner well. That's our breakfast hole when we're out shooting/ferreting. You need to get yourself up to our end mate, only a matter of minutes on that ZZR come & have a bimble round Derbyshire with all the fair weather fairies.
  7. Slowly losing the will to live...........
  8. Eye think it maight be Mr Cholmondley-Walker
  9. Good answer Trev, thanks. I think I'll give them a go for the simple reason they're all I can afford in any case, and summer's coming so problems of grip should be minimised. Hopefully I'll be a bit better placed to get some "proper" tyres next time around.
  10. Hey Nick I recognise that username from ZZR International or somewhere. welcome
  11. Done that route more or less in the past I really must try & get out for the ride at least. But it is the wife's birthday, and I've kinda got used to having my balls where they are
  12. I crashed in 2003 wearing an AGV Ghost which I had dropped on more than one occasion. Scraped the shit out of one side and the visor popped off as I went down the road head first. I'm still here and from time to time I even make sense. And the last person I'd ask for advice on a helmet is a sales person.......
  13. I can't believe you're being advised to chuck it just cos it's rolled off your bike. I'd wear it without hesitation.
  14. Some years ago after a crash I filled my old pisspot lid with Isopon & sprayed it black. Happily I never had to impact test it again Try not to let it get to you too much Rose, worse things happen at sea.
  15. Good lord, a G5 Honda. Worst 250 they ever made. See, I don't think simply being old makes a bike a classic. The fact is in the 70's & 80's (and I was there) we had a lot of shit bikes. When I think back to those atrocious disc brakes and bamboo frames I blanch at the memory of how I used to ride them. Why we aren't all dead is a miracle! Happy hunting Bedford
  16. 500/4 is an icon, but not easy to find cheap these days.
  17. Go up a tad & get a CB400F. Smashing little bike and don't have to cost the earth.
  18. He's having a giraffe if it's not met reserve at £1700. If he gets more than that I'll ride mine back from Spain & put it up for sale. Complete dreamer
  19. It's what I'd have done in your position TBH. Rates will go up by the summer I'd say, and past history tells us that often the rate rise can be pretty steep. Only caveat is the continuing frailty of the economy, but inflation being what it is sooner or later they'll put rates up.
  20. Hang on, that's Holme Pierrepoint innit? Did the Great Nottingham Bike Ride from there a time or two when the kids were little. I won't be camping, no point for me, but I will try & keep SWMBO sweet for the ride out.
  21. Interesting fella on PSTV at the moment. If you have Sky channel 201 or Freesat 403 give it a whirl. All about the true nature of law and politics.
  22. Some years ago I overtook a carload of plods, think they may have been trainees or summat, on the M40. I was proper twatting it, about 140,and figured the worst thing I could do was slow down. Spent the next couple of weeks cacking it in case they'd clocked my number. Happily they obviously saw reason, or more likely didn't see my number plate. One of the luckiest days of my life.
