Re: The state of other peoples' bikes
As a cyclist, I see it all of the time on bicycles too. Supposedly intelligent adults riding around with brakes disconnected, flat tyres and chains that can barely run. Some folks just have no... |

Re: K3 front end
I have a K3, with both a bar conversion and a front end swap. The whole job cost more than my bike is probably worth, but she looks amazing and rides beautifully. However, I made the swaps because I... |

Re: 25 years
I don't do mechanics or making in ball gowns anymore. Have you seen what happens when super glue hits satin? It is not pretty! :lol: My bike is booked in for the MOT next week. It feels strange... |

Re: 25 years
This is something I am making out of paper, purely scratch built. I did modify a little 1/18 model, but this is bigger and harder. I have made the frame and forks thus far and it has been fun. ... |

Re: 25 years
My daughter teases me that my bike is a little moped when compared to her GTR1400... However, she didn't think that it was a moped when she was fifteen and riding it around a closed field at a rally!... |

Re: New seat
That looks nice, you would be surprised by the difference a tiny change in the seat pad can make. Good luck and happy riding. |

Re: JHS Racing talking about tuning the SV
After watching this, I happened to mention a big bore kit for Sylvie to the wife, but she just shook her head and gave me that look, the one that says "Just go and buy a Kawasaki Z1000..." It's not... |

I have been riding my SV again
:!: Warning: This is going to be a long post, which given that I have barely ridden my bike in the last five years, is somewhat surprising. Back in 2007 when I bought the SV, I was told by the... |

Re: Sv650 goat?
I feel called out... As if I would have a hugely long build thread just about all of the mods I did to my glorious K3! :rolleyes: The chap in the video was a little vague with much of the detail,... |

Re: Model making shenanigans
Actually, you are not wrong. Like every artist, there are some things that I learned along the way, that I would do differently now. When I made the prototype of this model, I used an R1 for... |

Re: Sorry to do this, but I need some advice about a dirty VTR
It has been a long time, my failing body and then catching that horrible lurgy that was going around a couple of years ago, made riding all but impossible at times. It was embarrassing taking the... |

Model making shenanigans
Well folks it comes to us all in the end, when the arthritis and worn out body parts makes riding a treat rather than a daily experience. However, the wife has had a model kit of her favourite bike... |

Sorry to do this, but I need some advice about a dirty VTR
Hi folks, a mate of mine has a VTR Firestorm that has knackered forks. He has seen the fork swap on my SV and now craves a set of USDs for his bike. Obviously (yeah right!) he asked me for advice,... |

Re: The end is nigh?
Well here is your 800cc parallel twin V-Strom... Er, can they still call it the V-strom, when it doesn't have a V anymore? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIOct0oxHnI&ab_channel=SuzukiBikesUK |

Re: Chain
I cheat and use a Chain Oiler. No rust, occasional maintenance and the chain is always good to go. I use Tutoro, but other brands are available. :D |
