Why does it need a chain follower?? Is there something odd about the rear suspension? (can't really see it)v8-powered wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 5:04 pm Looks like a Subaru Boxer engine to me?

It does look kind of like the chain needs the guide, to keep it off the swing arm.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 5:53 pm Maybe they made the swingarm without checking the dims properly

Looks like the last day before sleet and other nasty schitt blows in, A definite drop in temps back down to double figures today.
Not a five star anything in sight.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I've seen a new V4S Panigale about lately and looked cool, but rider was pants.
Last night riding home along our road, I saw him set off, wobbling about.
I passed him on the corner. On my GasGas in t-shirt and flip flops
When I pulled up to our gate, he wobbled past looking very sheepish.
All the gear and no idea. Look at them chicken strips.
I took photo just now. Reg plate shows it's almost new.

Trying to work out where all that space has come from. Have they turned the engine upside down*???? Where did those forks come from?It's, erm, 'interesting'.
* Edit. It looks like an R80 and they've dropped the engine as far as it will go and rotated it a bit.
