I can't be the only one that is assuming that every time there's a post on here it will be of you in shorts and flip flops, helmetless, tearing up and down your road pissing off the neighbours with a cloud of two stroke gases!
Top work.

It stops being a project if you finish it...
Just making a mount for a CRF sidestand then I'll be concentrating on finishing the rollers. Need to MOT the little CG125 also, but that can wait.
3 kids under 9yrs mean there is always something that needs fixing round the house, and with the schools out the wife and I have no spare time for much else besides stopping them killing each other at the minute.

How long exactly have you known the Badger
The day that happens the sound of Boris bullshit will be drowned out by the clang of all the jaws dropping that its actually finished

The statement that says it was originally supplied in the UK should mean I don't need to go through the NOVA stuff as it's not been imported.
I have the same letter from kawasaki with a kx I have just purchased. Have you applied for logbook yet? Did you have to contact the nova registration or did you just do mot and full the v55/5
Thanks Liam

He's a bit elusive is Mr Badger, worth tagging @derek badger to see if he's still communicado.Liamblack1987 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 7:52 pmHi Derekderek badger wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 11:55 am Result.

He'll have 2 pings now. If he responds we can ask him how his motorised roller bump start machine is coming along.

I imagine he's not on here very often because he's been killed by those rollers.Count Steer wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 8:11 pmHe'll have 2 pings now. If he responds we can ask him how his motorised roller bump start machine is coming along.

Re: The 10+ year KX500 rebuild thread
Dating letters only last 12 months, I've been advised to do Nova route and send it and a letter stating I bought it as a Box of bits at an Autojumble to avoid the chance of getting charged import duty.
I registered a YZ465 years ago and it was pretty easy. MOT on frame number then apply for V5 with supporting paperwork. Didn't have a NOVA certificate for that one.

Might be worth pinging @Liamblack1987 that there's been a reply.
