Thanks Wheelnut, I need a kick up the bum to get it started (and more room in the shed). It is still on the bike lift - under cover - but as yet unstarted.

Cheers, SB

Cheers, SB

Well done you Seb. Standards must be maintained.

Be it words or wives, I think it behoves us older folk to try and keep the troops up to a certain minimum standard.

Othrwse wel jst all go txt spk , and Ill lse trak off whatsup.



PS : nothing wrong with your b'aitch mate, "She's a right nice lady."

(Wipes nose on shirt cuff in appropriate hillbilly fashion)

Language TK is much underrated

I've always thought SMS texts should be sent in Haiku form........

such as;

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator

or

Five syllables here
Seven more syllables there
Are you happy now??

See.............perfect!

Cheers, SB

Seb your name is now officially changed to SOB......lol.

On a serious note though, that gentleman is why we ride the best bikes in the world....HONDA.

If your after any bits SEB/SOB I still have the 92 I'm parting out. Not sure if the Gen 1 and Gen 2 parts are interchangeable but let me know if your after bits.

Cheers mate and well done on the resto. Its an awesome bike !

You weren't keeping up with this were you Bordo?

"If you're after any bits"

Cheers from the apostrophe policeman.

I know your work is more important than mine, but we all have to accept our lot in life.

You get to do spectacular life saving stuff; wasting crims, busting perps and all that kind of stuff ; I get to look after apostrophes, sigh.

Sounds good Sprock,

I'll PM you Bordo re the carbs. Gee I hope Naga_Thai doesn't see that I might want to change the carbs on the US bike - and I'm going put stick coils in it

Do you know, although he has been very quiet about it, I did hear that Mr Naga_Thai may have stick coiled his bike!!

Cheers, SB
