Add your location to your profile - then we won't have to ask "where are you?"

A local frame engineering place sounds interesting.

That's pretty good money.

I've been looking for a CB125S and they go for about that - but they are 10 years older.

I paid

IIRC there's a rubber loop attached to the frame than hooks over a "tang" on the rear of the tank.

But I could be wrong (It's been a while since I had a PRR)

Sorry about the last few hours.

John has transferred the forum to me and the act of copying everything onto my host screwed up one of the setting files. All fixed now (by John!)

I have a few plans for how we should take this forward - more of them later.

In the meantime, if there's anything that particularly bugs you or you would like to see here, please let me know.

I was loyal to Honda for 30 years, ending with a VFR800.

It was a good bike.

Then I tried a Triumph...



Now I make a point of trying all the new bikes. When you are 50+ and grey haired, the dealers are happy to lend you the demo bike (sometimes for hours!)

Blackbird
VFR1200
S1000RR
K1300S
R1200GS
All the Triumphs (including the Thunderbird)

As a stonking daily rider, the Sprint has a lot going for it.

Misc / Open / AA to Fill Potholes

AA Pothole Patrols to the rescue
- AA launches AA Pothole Assist
 
A new initiative to counter the 2.2 million pothole plague which has spread across the UK as a result of three cold winters and cutbacks in road maintenance is launched by the AA today (1).
 
AA Pothole Assist is a new service following in the footsteps of AA Fuel Assist and AA Battery Assist. As part of AA Pothole Assist, AA patrols will be tasked with filling in any potholes they come across when travelling between breakdown jobs.
 
The AA is entering into the road maintenance market as a direct response to concerns raised by members:
-       The recent AA StreetWatch survey conducted by 2,000 AA members identified potholes as the most serious concern.
-       An AA Populus poll of 20,000 members showed that the majority believe that road conditions have deteriorated over the last decade.
-       AA Insurance has experienced a four-fold increase in claims

The site was down all morning on Friday (?) due to server memory issues. Maybe that was your problem.

Yes you can strip the top end with the engine in the frame.

I'll leave comments on head gasket oil leaks to Bryan  ;)

... and it may need more than one cycle. If/when you get a green light, disconnect the battery and reconnect again. You'll probably find it goes staright back into desulphate mode.

Keep going. It may take a while.

Mine has resurrected more than one old battery via this route.

Or buy an Optimate (or similar) which is more-or-less what they do.

... but you don't have to watch them  :)
