BLACK :cool:

With regards to price, it's Not R9k to replace the head gasket on the Vespa as everyone is led to believe. A point I made previously as wildwood never disclosed this in his rant. Because the leak isn't diagnosed yet, the worse case scenario quote to service/replace All the related parts to the...

Sam, just to clarify on your assumptions of Vespa.... Vespa never closed their Green Point shop, it's opposite Cape Quarter and next to the BP in Somerset Road. It was originally at the Waterfront Caltex and sales average 12 bikes a month from their alone. Pretty good if you ask me! The...

Jay these types of comments are demeaning and condescending to qualified mechanics. We not all school drop outs who aren't academically minded, think slow and went to special school! Those guys are your "half clued up home mechanics"! Most of us matriculated with distinctions, we all went to...

I know I'm going to come across to everyone as been harsh and guns blazing but this is how I feel on this matter and in many ways it's directed not only to you John but fellow bikers out there... I think your rant is completely unfair and unwarranted! This industry is way smaller than you think...

I'm not going to make it this time round, very disappointing, but out of my control! Goose, I'm going to have to plan a trip to you, maybe the first weekend in May?!

Myself and my son (Spy Jnr) would like to come... it's been years since I've been with the WD clan! Will make plans to come up, probably ride up with Goose and Shaun500?!  :ricky: Will confirm with payment!

A Baby BM to the family.

If OP's partner wants her to keep riding with him, then there has to be some form of sacrifice in his riding style. Otherwise what's the point?!? A 1200GS is one of the easiest bikes to ride slow. If we all took the time to master slow speed control, we'd be much better and skilled riders... Any...

Has anyone even ridden the CRF250L? That bikes a Beast! An MX bike with lights! Quicker and faster than any 650. Wheel Spin Wheelies are the order of the day on this one!  ;D I'd rather suggest the XR250 Tornado as a starter, never the CRF.

As a trainer for beginner riders, I have to completely agree with LeCap and Malibu. The last thing you want is to loose your passion for biking because you constantly intimidated by your bike, or worse, seriously hurt. I think we've all forgotten how to ride slow and enjoy our beautiful...

A penetrating oil works well, to be honest, the best brand I've ever used is from Yamaha and called 'Yamalube Lubzall'.

Just keep at it... lube - hit, lube - hit! It's a bit of a pain to do, but if it doesn't want budge after a week, then get out a new hacksaw blade and start cutting through the bolt by the widest gaps, then once the swing-arm is free, it will all come out... just order all the parts (bolt, nut...

Gaans ... I'd like to back-order 1 x Lrg Summer and 1 x XL Summer please!

Yoh!! If I had the bucks I'd by this one! You don't see the rear disc, 3-spoke, models in this condition any more!! Love these bikes, they are bullet proof...if you look after them and use decent 2T oils. With a CRP pipe you can hit redline in top gear everywhere! My mate had one that was ported...
