  1. So back on track… I suppose there’s different versions of character, I’ve just put one of my bikes up for sale in a shop which is an F800GT it was a bike to ‘try’ before the bike I really wanted, bit like a ‘ last fling’. It had a ‘version’ of mild character which I thought it would have and didn’t disappoint. It rode so well I kept it 2yr as apposed to 6 months stop gap. But back to reality it did everything well just like my washing machine does but didn’t make my heart flutter. In the meantime I’ve now got my desired bike, an R nine t and very happy with its character.
  2. Put some pics up and see what there is to work from first. No point guessing.
  3. Interesting! I'm curious to what went wrong on your fleet? They do have niggles like any make have and I've modified a few things on mine, but I've never had any problems that stopped a ride or worried me and mines done a good lump of mainland Europe ridden very hard.
  4. On to a more realistic approach, if you talented enough, short of having it TIG welded you can go for the Lumiweld option. Unlike the other 'chemical' ideas Lumiweld is an aluminium solder that looks like the parent metal and is brilliant for the likes of trials bike crank cases. It's a low heat repair and very successful. Failing that and using adhesive repair pastes I've found no matter how clean and chemically washed the crack is, it will continue to seep as oil products find cracks like water always finds the lowest levels

  6. Buy a van with windows in that's not registered as commercial but MPV and the tax will be cheaper too.
  7. Yes it's the Non Red example!! The only non red

  9. There's a strange couple gone through China and the likes clocking up something like 30,000 kms on a two wk650tr's (cf moto 650tr). If you Google the bike name it'll come up. They've just about covered and experienced everything that can ever happen in that area of the world and made a blog out of it.
  10. To pump tyres up, get an ALDI outfit for £89 To restore the jag you need 14cfm and a 100-150 tank on 3hp running off 16amp mains connector like a cooker type point. Will that do? I know that sort of thing as I restore vehicles for a living. The XJ that Mawsley is referring to is his Yamaha XJ900.....so a slightly smaller project.... Ah that answers that!

  12. Ditto with the big lad
