Look at the Uk K0 on here then -- and its frame is 24000 after mine. So what is Eamon's 1010369 worth?

Ash - I'm sorry to say that Eamon has been quite ill recently and he sold the K0  :(

#1: If you go to Frank's website (Motorcycles Unlimited) you will see that he has quite a few classic bikes - all at least twice what anyone would reasonably want to pay...

#2: Will is one of the good guys.

#3: I looked at this for a mate who wanted to buy an F2. I told him to offer

Optimate is a battery tender that keeps your battery in tip top condition during extended periods of inactivity: www.optimate.co.uk

Moisture crystals are real: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kontrol-Krystals-Dehumidifier-replacement-500g/dp/B002S9ATJS/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1288628233&sr=8-5

When your bike is finally past it, break it up and sell the parts to ignorant punters on eBay for

I would recommend a blanket, an Optimate, a bowl of moisture crystals and a nice warm garage.

See you in March...    ;D

It's November and officially "crappiest time of year for selling classic bikes"

Don't pay more than a grand...

Some of you may have heard me going on about my son Chris and his tuba quartet.

They have just returned from a tour of Switzerland and took this video for a bit of fun.

Shame about the cheap camera/video/sound quality but hey...

YouTuba in Switzerland...in a boat?!

No, we love Jotas!

It's what every self-respecting 500/4 owner in the 70's lusted after (that's me then...)

The two posters that adorned our student rooms back then were the MV Agusta 750S America (him) and the orange Jota (me)

Then there were those Life helmet posters with the bodypaint...

... and the Athena tennis girl of course.

Spin the front wheel and take a close look at it.

I stored my 500/4 in a hot garage all summer on the sidestand. The front tyre is now warped and makes the bars wobble.

Axl was a great friend of all SOHCers but sadly was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2009.

Some of the tributes are here

The headlamp bulb is a dual beam so it is quite possible that the high beam filament is blown. Easy to test.

The fuse thing is a bit more worrying. Put standard values back in and see what happens.
