eBay 'specials' and other junk finds

A place to bang on about subjects close to your heart that affect us all as 400cc riders. general banter is rife, however rudeness and abuse seem to be the norm, If a bit wet round the ears best go play elsewhere. Auto pruning of items 31 days and older

Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Not yet Phil. I'm hoping to pick it up next weekend. I should be down in Cheltenham on Thurs or Fri so will shoot cross country and stop with M-I-L overnight and go on from there.

Also
this bike has been, highly tuned its also been cammed and had oversized pistons in it,
a racing clutch, a lightened flywheel, an a.r.t exhaust onit.
aparantly can afford oversize pistons, cams and new bodykit but not tyres...
