The cheaper option could be to dig a trench around the bike :)

The white bike is an MT50/C90 Hybrid which I race with a few mates in the RAF Wittering and RAF Odiham 6 hr Endurance races. Amazing fun, and very cheap!

Picked the bike up today and spent a few hours with the polish and autosol. She came up pretty well.

You would think he would have the common sense to lay them out in smaller batches and post bigger pics of each batch. He must be a bit of a numpty.

Loosen the top bolt whilst they are still clamped on the bike. A whole lot easier that when they are off!  ;D

I lived in Drayton, went to Wymondham College then worked at County Hall in the Highways Dept for a few years before heading off to wok in S Africa for 3 years, then ended up in Cambridge on my return.
I still feel like I am going home when I visit Norfolk and aim to retire there. I still go and watch The Canaries regularly.

Hi all, I have just bought an F2.
I am now in my 50s, having ridden since the age of 16, starting my riding on my Fizzy when I lived in Norfolk.
I have owned quite a few bikes over the years and currently have eight. Here is a list of them all in order of ownership date. Ones I still have are in bold type.
Best bike? Probably my current BMW R1100GS which passed 109K this week and still runs beautifully
Worst bike? Definitely the CB400T. I hated that thing. It never broke down. It was just horrible to ride.
One I most regret selling? There are a few, but the CB1100RC is a clear winner.
