Re: CycleTerminal

Great site, and some interesting stuff on there. I didn't know about them.

Are they in england? Covid may have something to do with it??? A couple of organisations I deal with here, have gone under due to Covid and the lockdowns. Shame really. It's taking its toll in more ways than one. Cheers

Re: New family member

Well the Husaberg is gone. However, I got distracted...again. This one is gonna be like a motorcycle with wings. :D Single seat AeroPup. It's a little bush plane! It came with a fresh zero hour BMW1200S motor (120hp) and a prop reduction drive. They perform really well with 80hp! These are incredibl...

I'd love to have a 996 but doubt I could ride it given my neck and back problems.
Yeah, they're kind of brutal in that department Tim. I'd probably just settle for the old Ferrari next to it! :D

Re: Breather

It looks a bit like a honda type nc400 rc30 type breather. due to the fact it is already succumb to vice grips. Wash the fuel out, heat it up with a propane torch. Tighten first then undo. If that fails, slit the fitting with a dremel. That will relieve the tension and it will come off. All the best...

not sure I would adhere to those too well, although I pretty much am as I'm always working on this damned house or picking up supplies for it.
two months later, and restrictions here as per last Sunday have been eased. We can travel up to 25 km now :roll:

Re: Computer HDD

Those old high energy spinning things? Why do you prefer?

I moved to SSD a couple of years ago. Blindingly fast, and no failures. No moving parts either, lower power usage etc.

I had a couple of old style drives fail... Not happy!

Replica OW01 Kit triples.

I've finally picked up a set of genuine YEC adjustable kit 43mm triples for the OW01. I'll be doing a run of replicas. I'll be making 20 sets, ( believe it or not I need at least 10 sets for my own projects) And will have some spares to sell. Price tba, I want them to be indistinguishable from the o...

Re: Motorcycle work bench

Depends. If I was to make one it would be just wide enough, and long enough for front and rea stands.

I will build one someday (I have a bought hydraulic one) I found a couple of old hospital beds and ratted the electric screw jacks-controllers etc out of them... One day.... :crazy:
