    Attention to detail

    And my favourite restoration. There are only a handful of these tA125's world wide, and I reckon that mine was and is the best. I even managed to source a set of brand new old stock tyres from 1973. Hard as nails, took three of use to fit them and could never be ridden on, but they are correct...

    Attention to detail

    The bike cleaning/detailing thread had me going over something that I used to very much enjoying carrying out, and actually became very proficient at. The restoration of classic race bikes. I have always had a very good mechanical understanding, and pulling things down, and re assembling them...

    Just for a laugh...

    Mine just came from Lidls, but it's something similar to this one.

    Magura worse than Banks

    You need to steer them towards East Sussex, and in the mean time, I'll get busy writing my CV. ;)

    Three forum members, one ride.

    Twitchy is a bit of an understatement. :) Bad back or not, I need to get out. Subject to my back being okay, where would you like to meet up, and what sort of time? I've broken the screen on two mobile phones this week, and frustratingly don't now have use of a mobile phone, so you will have...

    I'm off to get the back sorted tomorrow. :) I must admit the clip shown didn't show that section for what it was at all. Mainly badly signed! It didn't show the speed either. :D I've booked onto the next Wiggle ride on the 7th Dec at Fontwell. I'm supposed to be riding it with the group of KTM...

    SRS, skip to 3.45 into this video. Does it look familiar? We must have been seconds after this rider. I'm still having issues with my neck and back, and have been off work for the last two days because of it.

    You mean besides stating it clearly on the new bikes page. :) If you didn't mean that, then none of the bikes are listed as needing to be registered etc. http://www.tamworthyamaha.com/index.php/bikes/new-bikes.html .

    Raleigh joins the de-restricted e-bike debate (at last).

    The following smiley is directed fairly and squarely back at flecc. :rolleyes: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/liability.18835/#post-233786 And to further back up my :rolleyes: towards you and the comment that you made. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/a-statement-from-bosch.19478/

    Cleaning / Detailing

    I know of a lad that commutes all year round on a motorbike, through all conditions, and he just applies one coat of ACF50 in the late autumn, then doesn't touch the bike until the spring, when he degreases it. If I can find the photos that he has taken, you would be amazed at just how well that...

    KTM Corner

    Bingo, I think that I've found the stand. Willworx Super stand. :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Willworx-Superstand-Exhibition-Stand-Display-Stand-12-29-Inches-Bike-/291287186438?pt=UK_SportGoods_CyclAcces_RL&hash=item43d211bc06 The adapter also looks pretty handy.

    KTM Corner

    WOW!! :) I don't do the lottery, but if I did, and won it, that would be two more bikes to add to the stable. They might have to follow the Canic CXC that I long to both try out and own though :)

    KTM Corner

    Col, I realise that this is a long shot, but would you happen to know what make of stand is supporting the drop dead gorgeous bike? My current stand is fine, but this one looks ten times stronger.

    Cleaning / Detailing

    I forgot to add. A winter investment, and something that I have been using for many years on anything from motorcycles to hand tools. ACF50 not only protects your investment in respect of corrosion, it also makes a both a good polish, a fantastic water resistant applicant for exposed wiring...

    So I went to a trail centre...

    Thanks. :) Now hurry up and get your bike sorted. :) Having said that, the SD must be a horrendous wet slippery mess at the moment. Rain, rain and more rain. It's going to be a long winter. :(

    So I went to a trail centre...

    Another good reason not allow dongles and s-pedelecs to use any off road public right of way. Also another reason to keep the climbing speed down on a regular e-mtb when passing other riders and walkers etc. I've been following this topic for a while now, and regular US pedal mtb riders are...

    Snowboarding Helmets @ Lidl

    Girls shower cap, or a skin coloured swimming cap? ;) Alternatively and more sensibly, search Ebay for 'army helmet cover'. German, Norwegian, Swedish, and Swiss kit is usually of better quality than the UK supplied kit.

    Bosch service youtube clip

    As the title. :) Can't say that I rate the workshop practice or the use of a market stall quality ratchet, but it still makes for an interesting watch.

    BH Emotion serious problems

    I'm so glad to now be out of this loop, and the now recognized saying of "the BH experience" Facing facts, BH shouldn't even be in, nor deserve to be in business. It never takes much of a search to discover un happy owners, having to put up with very poor customer care and service from BH UK.
