huhh!! must ave missed them i'll go back for another look.

makes sense m8, no point carrying a feckin dustbin around on your bike.

nice picks m8, not impressed with zarco the French knob!!!

am I alone in thinking the new brough superior is feckin pig ugly and overpriced. can't see what everyone is raving about.

keep an eye on the rear shock and linkages had one in for paintwork it was seized solid.

you have the best of both worlds two totally different bikes. one comfy powerful mile muncher and one hooning tool.

I have been on the lookout for a 1200 motor to drop into my zed haven't found a nice one yet theres a couple advertised on ebay by breakers but strong money.

ffs theres some arseoles out there. its a great engine and well maintained will rack up the miles no problem m8.

nice pics m8, did you catch it then.

noooooohh!!!!! you'll be wearing leathers with tassels next.

never done it m8 if you could guarantee decent weather it would be good, how long do you reckon it would take I suppose it would depend on what roads you take as I in motorways or twisties.

wot!!!! the sprints not even a close second to the zed, know which one I would have

should be a gudun my man iannone on pole lets see if he can keep it together and win one. even better if dovi gets second.

made a start tonight just over 2 hours to strip to bare frame bit easier than the zed to work on.
from this


to this

advertised my bandit on gumtree sold it in 2 days, just put it on for a sensible price open to offers with some nice pics and it will sell.

always nice when a job goes as planned, I did not know they tested the chain never seen any of the testers check mine.

be good to have a feed of it on facebook

dream on pal!!!

just got this dr 600 its a bit tatty but its all there fixed the petrol tap charged the battery put some fuel in and wayhay she started up, had a blast up the carpark at work pulled the front brake ooer no brakes virtually. was going to play on it this summer and fettle over the winter but the brakes need sorting the clutch is slipping and motor sounds fine but seems to be under performing so looks like a full strip down. I will do a new project thread when I start to keep you all amused.

1959 but in my head I'm 20ish.
