Hatfield has been a cesspit long before this.

Bought a few months ago as missed the first time around, but doesn't quite fit. It's officially a medium but I would say is certainly more small. In very good condition and happy to post photos/measurements if needed.

I paid £44 posted, so looking to get back what I spent.

Family gone, dog asleep, whisky poured and snooker on. Bet Selby is glad he turned up now.

Best bump I can remember on lufguss. It's a Ron Cooper for goodness sake people.

I presume you weren't wearing your GS-approved 'polite' vest then? Seriously though, always good to be reminded to keep speeds down, especially in built up areas. Pleased they were reasonable and all turned out okay.

I agree on the lack of front fairing, something quite muscular about the look. There's a guy on Instagram I follow who has fitted retro fairings to his modern sportsbike, with the belly-pan section removed which works really well. Shame to cover up those stainless pipes too eh.

I bought a sightly better workbench from eBay yesterday for the pillar drill, nice to have it closer to eye level and storage underneath is always useful. I did move the drill onto the new workbench myself though, which wasn't my proudest moment considering how heavy it is. Either that or I need to up my Weetabix intake.

Jealousy is an ugly emotion.

It's usually a fiver for a day pass, but if that seems steep, PM me.

Doesn't seem steep in the slightest, just wish I was local.

And so the front end swap begins.

Sounds like a keeper to me :)

Lovely, congratulations. Great time of year to get a new set of wheels. Keep us updated how you get on.

Just crossposting from here, the SRAD is taxed, MOTed and insured for the spring. The fully Yoshi system is just the right side of rowdy and the botty dyno approves of the upgrade. Still surprises me how eager this thing is for a 24 year old bike.

Been thinking about this one but don't know enough about this segment of the market to advise. My initial reaction was to say a 2 stroke enduro bike but not sure that's quite right or too similar to what you have already.

That's a bit unfair on the Irish? :)

Thanks a lot for the reply. I'd be looking at a basic van to fit motorbikes in the back and sleeping bag, real poverty spec. I'll keep my wits about me regarding the scams, but no doubt looking at eBay until I'm ready to purchase will help get a sense of what the going rate is. Cheers.

I'm considering finally saving up for a van, so speculatively looking at Transit Customs and VW Transporters for sale on ebay to get an idea on price. Quite a few appear very cheap, but not too good to be true, compared to the going rate (90%). I presume with these vehicles, and the owners they attract, there are a lot of scammers about?

Nice, they looks super neat with everything mounted.

Oh nice, looking great. Best of luck fitting new wheel bearings without scratching them. What tyres are you thinking?

This was at lunch time, think you can just make out the grey clouds in the background. Would love a long weekend to really enjoy the bike now it's all reay to go.

MOTed and taxed, also new tail tidy fitted. Time to enjoy...

This dog business is starting to make sense. We're on week 5(?) now and things are a lot more relaxed, we've been adventureus and taken him away to Mrs Jambon's parents for Easter and he's been good as gold. We were most worried about sleeping but he's become attached to his (previously our) duvet so just plonks himself there whichever room it's in. Certainly feels like progress from those first few days when there was a big black horse standing on our dining room table panting in distress. Thanks for all the help and humour. This is what I woke up to this morning.

Got to love spring

Two new flex hoses fitted and feeling good, fingers crossed this sorts the sticking brakes.

Thanks for posting these pics, all kinds of awesome.
