None of the weed smoking chavs.

What I call the 'gixxer Kev'. Would love an early 80s 2 smoke twin shock. Feel free to share any more photos you have!

Is this yours? Despite being 'racing' it just feels quite chilled. A good day out is a nice way to put it, also something about riding older machines seems to make me think it'll attract a more chilled crowd. My current bedtime reading.

Strong effort. Is replacing a dash as painful as it seems?

It's worse, this is the Racing edition which is probably even more wedge. I say more, but expensive for an Aprilia.

Now we're talking.

If my mum was still looking for a new car I'd be forwarding this her way.

Yes! YouTube just said the same thing so have ordered 2 x flex hoses. Finger's crossed, never knew this was a thing.

Waking up from hibernation

I've been having an issue with my ancient Subaru Outback where the front brake calipers keep seizing on. I've now fitted 3 sets of discs, multiple pads and 1 set of calipers. Kind of at a loss. Is there anything obvious I've missed?

Surely not

Yep, still gutted about this. I've now subscribed to Classic Motorcycle Mechanics but don't think it'll be the same. At least they finished the turbo ZX-7R eh.

I've gone down a twin shock rabbit hole the last few days, must have watched every video on YouTube. Even with an amazingly capable offroad bike, I'm drawn to antiques from the early 80s like the Maico 490 and Honda CR480. Still don't have a van so all a pipe dream, but travelling the country with an old scrambler in the back feels like a nice thing to do. As you were.

No probs, have a couple of people who have PMd me so just let me know if you're still interested.

Agreed, something weirdly satisfying about a black plastic frame with silver components and cages. Looks great.

Seatpost along with a few other bits have now sold sorry, have updated the post.

Yes good working condition, would recommend a degrease as always but probably doesn't need it.

No NJS stamp I'm afraid.

Obviously owning a spicy car is slightly harder these days, but think I've unashamedly moved into the camp of exclusively wanting an out outdated lux-barge, pref in estate form, to use day-to-day. Always thought this was pretty cool

within 5 mins she had popped a wheelie and snatched 3 phone off passing peds...

They grow up so fast :')

@retro_bastard @ColinTheBald sorry just seen your replies, thanks so much for the wise words and encouragement. Last night Mrs Jambon and I slept in the same bed since getting the hound, ooo errr etc. We've been operating on a few hours sleep but last night only had to check on him a couple of times. And the dog diarrhea in the living room has stopped, for now.

He's frozen on a couple of walks, but thankfully we had some treats to get him moving. Didn't appreciate how sensitive these dogs are, or maybe just our one. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel in terms of him getting used to the new surroundings so fingers crossed the progress continues.

Last night was eventful, woke up to the world's largest steaming pile of shite in the living room then ended up sleeping on the sofa. Once I stayed in the room he seemed fine and is a lot calmer today.

Listening to northern soul and chilling. Will stop now, promise.

Meet Rupert, we picked the ex-racer up today from a kennel in Waltham Cross. He seemed quite excitable in the house but settled down after some food and water. Imagine it's all so new. He even napped on the sofa with me for a few mins which is a good sign. Haven't worked out how we eat ourselves with him, as he doesn't know yet it's not for him and he seemed to whine a little when shut in our utility room for 10mins. Wish us luck tonight!
