I was thinking more along the lines of asking in the owners club but whilst you have the time machine out can you nip back and place a couple of bets for me?

Worth seeing if you can get a drive of a known decent one to decide if it's worth putting money into yours

Aye ya not wrong, classic target fixation. I learned about that on a big hill climb section wide open apart from one tree, ride up it at looking at the tree so I definately won't ride into it. Straight into the fucking tree. Trying to ride along an RSJ, don't look at the front wheel or you fall off...

I predict further uncertainty as people realise the cost of Christmas and living is greater than the amount of money coming in.
Probably will see some fire sales as January starts and it's a long time to the pay check at the end of the month.

Future FOAD roffle, smokescreen special ULEZ free edition.

I think I'll put it in for an mot and see what happens. If it fails on emissions or too much else I'll sack it off. Just drove it to collect daughter and it's as tight as a drum with no knocks etc. Even the interior is solid and rattle free. How far in advance can you book a test? Is there a limit?...

Didn't you buy another cab as a rental not long ago?

What will that take to sort out? A week of free time at claim garage?

MOT exempt so drive it home, slowly & carefully. Then the lack of brakes won't matter.

If you wear a diving helmet you don't need insurance either....

Eh? The pongo bikes are 350 aren't they?

These were the ones I was thinking of

If there was a 350 it probably used the Cagiva engine.
