  1. Just use Autoglym wash then Carnauba wax polish on tank and plastics! but to be honest Chad we should be coming to you for advice after the shine you got on the zx mate!
  2. Great news Yammy, be great to see you. Mark, Alan what was that motorcycle being pushed at York that we stopped to help cos I can't remember?
  3. Well not really, but did a bloody good job of stripping my garage floor painted my garage floor with international floor paint about 5 years ago so decided to repaint it today. I swept it then put a couple of squirts of stardrops in a bucket and scrubbed it out with a deck brush only to watch the existing paint bubble and blister like paint stripper so now I have to wire brush it all and sweep till all the bits are up before repainting meanwhile my poor bike is under lock and chain in the back garden! hope this weather holds! Stardrops...........acid more like!
  4. Weren't out walking were you? bike safely tucked up! its good to enjoy this weather while we've got it
  5. Please be sunny! Not even bothered if its not sunny just don't rain
  6. Block of wood and a couple of scissor jacks on the frame rails or peg mounts (must Know 2 people with cars just borrow their scissor jacks) just check condition of dust seal and spring length also take care fitting the new seal if the stanchions are pitted but all should be fine.........have fun!
  7. Didn't score this one Alan but that's my sort of sarnie gotta be a high 8-9 for that
  8. Looks a Stue sized pizza that Lee! Great pictures
  9. Good winning bid that! Not going to fit in your top box that Mike its either find a supermarket get a suitable box and post it there or take a big back pack
  10. Bandits are great Dick bullet proof motors just poor build quality saying that there is some nice examples about.......Marks selling his he nearly bought a z1000 at Rufforth today Sorry Yammy
  11. im 5'9" and find its the most comfortable bike ive rode an upright sports bike I agree with mike on the hugger ,what years the bike as I found this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-XJ6-Diversion-F-ABS-11-Black-Motorcycle-Rear-Wheel-Hugger-New-Red-Fox-/141005513639?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item20d49563a7 Thanks mate, its a 2013 Yamaha xj6 Diversion F Fully faired. I cant afford it yet though, do you guys reccomend getting one then? When you can afford one its a good buy, protects your monoshock from getting covered in road -crap.
  12. Are the huggers expensive? easy to fit? I am rubbish at anything mechanical I do like the old divvys but the new ones are just awesome Just bolt on Yammy easy! normally after removing the chain guard and the ones Dick found look good quality mate!
  13. Must be great to have a choice of some stunningly clean original bikes Dick!
  14. Funny enough Yammy, today we saw a Yamaha 600 Divvy being pushed by a very red faced old gent. That must be how they are so good on fuel is it? (his wasn't it had run out) seriously though it was a very old tired mk1 example and yes we did stop to help absolutely love yours Yammy but think I'd be fitting a hugger to protect that shock but that's just personal choice
  15. Sure is Dick, but I'd like to think someone would do the same for me if it was needed! anyhow I hope you've booked this weather for the ride-out mate!
  16. Just through to Rufforth auto jumble with Mark and Skelly then on to Squires then back via Helmsley. Stopped to help an old guy on an old 600 Divvy who had run out of fuel took him pillion a couple of miles to get some then back to fill his bike up but wouldn't you know it after 30 secs of turning his bike over the battery went flat!! bloody Yamaha's......... who'd have em! and he covered my seat and pegs in mud! anyway was good to help!
  17. Sounds fine Mike and Skelly will be with us Will need more than a couple of stops Dick if today's ride is anything to go by I feel like I need a at the moment!
  18. Post 176 ITCHY was going but the latest list he's not You going Rich?
  19. Sunday should be fine mate! Ill pm my address.
