Hi Richard - looks like you have an issue with your upside down Icon - welcome to the Forum I see you have a Triumph T100 - did they finally build an engine that does not leak?
My Triumph of old a 350  Triumph Twenty One  Bathtub VRM "102 ETF" leaked within a few days of every rebuild - happy days though back in 1966.
Honda CB500 K1 (new pit dug out ready)
Honda CB400 four super sport (first money pit)

Hiya Richard,

Great forum with some top folk on here, the level of knowledge and detail on here is simply incredible. Have fun,  enjoy and dont think twice about asking questions, everyone is super helpful and at the end of the day its all about keeping these old girls on the road and to be enjoyed.

A Fazer 600 :o I had one some years ago and thought it one of the best, 'fun bikes' I've ever had. It was a parts hauler for a yamaha garage I worked at that at the time.  I inherited for a year to go too and from work on in the winter and general bobbing about on. I loved the fact that it was so light compared to my VFR, ZX7 and the 748 i had at the time, it was like riding a BMX everywhere and sadly made me ride like a bit of a d*ck having too much fun on the twisties on the 9 mile to and from work section I rode every day, (twice ;D 8))and after the first 6 months I thought I'd be better off giving it back and that I wasn't Wayne Rainey after all. What a hoot though ;D ;D
All the best
Mornings are the invention of the devil!

1977 CB550F (current money pit!!)
2002 VFR800 VTEC (The Beloved)
1977 CB400F (the last money pit!)
1998 Ducati 748\853 conversion(sold :()
1980 ish CB750KZ in a billion bits (need to get rid, anybody want one?))
