On a litre bike, runway with goggles, send it.

Rode around rural Italy on the monster in shorts and tee shirt without helmet from mates house to collect water, visit locals, go to bar, no problem.

Won't ride the mtb without one, odd perspective on risk, yup

Are you thinking of getting into racing or just mucking around in a field, odd day at a track?

If you're thinking of racing go to a few schoolboy MX meets, speak to the parents, they'll know of decent bikes for sale and be able to give you an idea on how things work / costs.

"We still need to ...

You've done a really nice job on that. Looks very 'factory'.

To eliminate backlash as a cause try coating pieces - one by one with a thick grease.

You could also try a turn of cloth tape around each cam lobe in turn.

The 600 Monster was produced until 2001 when it was replaced by the 620.

Why isn't anyone using a Pinion then? (Yes I know a few are)

Its not like ebikers are short of a bob or two.


Can’t derestrict it reliably, I think I only know one person that has an ebike still restricted, 15mph isn’t enough 20mph would have seen plenty happy with that.


Two - my Rail is ...

Excellent, another 900 Duke on the road

Got my monster on the road a week or so back, the first ride was awkward at first, got more instinctive gradually. Needs a good long ride to get back into the groove properly I think.

Good luck with your re-intro. Any plans for trips out?

Suspect choice of hair colours, excellent choice in wives

Nice to see you're back on raucous.

P.s how Rod? Haven't seen him in years.

Passed MOT this morning, no advisories :bblonde:

Went for ride, hmmm, not good, feels like tyre is flat except I know it's not as I pumped it up yesterday. Once up to speed it's ok but at low speeds not good.
Pop in to see Mr Weeks for coffee and catch up. While I'm there tighten up a couple of ...

Happy to help, plenty have helped me along the way, just passing it on.

The idea is that with the arch of your foot on the pedal at the bottom of the stroke the leg is slightly bent, this is so your hips don't rock as you pedal.

You should be able to have a still, shoulders relaxed posture as you ...

Loosen the knob on the seatpost that should allow you to raise the seat so your knee isn't so bent at the top of the stroke.

Ideally, your leg should be slightly bent when the pedal is at the bottom and the arch of your foot is on the pedal,

If enough people sign, then maybe. Or we can be apathetic and nothing will change.

The police reaction to my bikes being nicked was:

Here's a crime number, than you and no we won't be turning up. What about taking finger prints of stuff they touched, nope. Clear CCTV of the perps, upload it and then we can close the case.
There's CCTV of it showing which way it went, not ...

Little bastards.

Nice, unobtrusive and easily reversed.

I wonder if the batteries are recharged when it's running on petrol? If it does that would give it a massive range and usability.

in an odd sort of way I like that.

The BMW motor is all well and good but a bit under powered what you need is a V8.

Or made a mental supermoto.

They were in one of Richard Hammond's smallest cog episodes. He does the paintwork for them. It's two blokes in a shed.

Good luck to them but I'm not seeing anything special about the bike. CCM couldn't sell enough bespoke small single cylinder bikes to survive, this doesn't look a lot different ...
