KMX: mega result! Stripped down the top end on my spare KMX200 engine from the barn. I had no idea what state this was in, as it was bought as a non-runner/spares lump. Head is of a later design. Very different from the original early one and also mint. The piston is a nearly new genuine Kawasaki part with almost nil trace of any... 11 Aug 2010 11:30

I put the Black 400 Four on ebay to make space for another project but it didnt even come close to my 1100 reserve. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200503754386 Is it just a daft time to sell in the middle of the hodilays or could I improve the listing ? Maybe relist with a higher starting pr... 11 Aug 2010 14:48

Paging Ant Mr Espindola, could you let me have a working email address for you, please? I emailed the following to you, but I've got a delayed delivery message and I'm guessing that your antonye at ukrm dot net address is long dead.

Goodbye JANET Usenet X-No-Archive: Regulars here will know me as Andy Clews from the University of Sussex.

What do you do when you're restoring an old bike? Buy a second one, of course. I want to get to grips with the project TS250 before the end of the summer, and in the past I've found that having a second bike, as a donor and for showing you what bolts onto where and how when you're reassembling the thing and have forgotten to photograph the vital bits (ahem), is... 1 Aug 2010 19:15
Nice one I would have titled this as "Paging TOG" but it looks too lovely to end up broken for spares. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320567688083 Not too far from me either but I think it will go for a tad over my current available budget.

Two Vincent sightings in the last week I overtook one on the Aprilia a few days ago on the A14, and saw one this morning in Black Bear HD's car park as I was taking T to nursery. They may be shite old Brit iron but I do like seeing them. Given their rarity, I imagine it was the same one. -- -Pip ... 29 Jul 2010 11:56
Another one... Blue 1975. Tatty tank and side panels, nice shiny motad pipe (am I bad that I prefer the nose on these?), engine seems to be fine! Nice shiny chrome mudguards and chain guard. Side reflectors :) A years MOT and the brakes work. Just needs a polish really. The idea was to nick the good bits, break and sell the re... 28 Jul 2010 08:36

More SOBoxer problems Got the bike running and dragged it out to take it to London for a meeting, but it stalled on the drive and wouldn't re-start. The previous afternoon, after replacing the starter, everything was fine, managed to get it warmed up and got it settled into an idle at around 1k rpm. I thought I'd flooded it, so lef... 15 Jul 2010 09:54
