Wiring needs sorting and tidying and the numberplate needs replacing with one that's less grotty.

Other than that, it's a very cool bike.

temporarily mocked up mate. I have a shield i need to fit in the shed.
was purely for pics.


Gonna sort the wiring out soon, need to get hold of some black sheath and get it over the wires. Thumbs Up

Admittedly I like the grotty plate. Laughing

shocks are on backwards because they had to be. the gas chambers got in the way.

She will be taken across the isle of wight in the summer. Then next year possibly france...

Why? Cos i have a full ped licence. It's cheap to run while i pass my bike test.

I also run a car , and this saps my money...


IOW isn't big. But we're planning on taking the 'long journey' to portsmouth.

Monkeybikes are a lot of fun.
Biggest engine? Well someone has managed to shoehorn 125cc two strokes, and even 250cc four stroke twins in if you really want, if you want to leave it stock. you can wack 160cc engines in.

It's a pretty custom little bike. Does me alright for a weekend hackabout while car insurance rapes me Laughing

Chuck a 2t 180cc lump in there and there's gotta be some land speed record that you can put your name to! I now officially want one A LOT.

wacked it up on monkeybike forums and they all posted up the hard luggage ones too.

https://www.gotwarrior.co.uk/monkeyrun/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2220

Worth a look.


Gave it a good looking over a minute ago, adjusted tickover. Choke works perfect now, just choke till it warms up then it holds idle fine (kept dying if you got off the throttle). tightened all the bags. etc. Will take it for a spin in a bit.

Not after the hard luggage look, don't like it at all. soft luggage is where it's at! Twisted Evil

Not smashing another lump in there. At least not till I've got a full bike licence Laughing
