Sunniest February on record apparently. Well, I can believe that; it has been really nice these past few weeks down here in Kent.

Pity there's no working bike to enjoy it on. Feck Thumbs Down

Still, those that have - I implore you to get out there. Mr. Green

Got to the place to get my bike.

The thieving cunts stole my chain that was under my seat, and nicked the full tank of petrol.

Got it home in the back of the transit, and after closer inspection noticed the handle bars are bent, needs new fork seals, left side indis, clutch leaver, speedo housing and grab rail.

The chain is rustier than a ginga, but it fired up after a couple of mins which is a good sign.

That sucks man.

All though the bars at that angle give it a nice cafe racer angle. Wink

thats just light surface rust on the chain, a bit of engine oil on it and u will never know its there and it will probably just rub off in use anyway

I remember buying the honda indis... I bought one for the front and then bought some Motrax ones for the back and I had to drill in the plastics. I guess you will be able to drill a hole in the front head light brackets.

Also give Black's motorcycles a ring, I bought my city fly from there and they a few bits and pieces for a city fly... I got a pair of renthal handle bars for £15 Very Happy
