  1. There is a KE100, same bike but the MX version, For sale locally that one is later. early 1980`s i believe, its in roughly the same condition but does have a major mechanical issue "Its Seized solid" Lol, He is asking for £1600. In my view its well over priced even if it was a running, ridable example, I watched the October auction by H&H auctioneers at The National Motorbike Museum the other week, The usual Ducati 999RR`s were achieving really strong bids as were other rarities but the bread and butter RD`s LC`s, KH`s, and GT`s were not reaching there reserves neither were a lot of Full
  2. Todays impulse buy, Collecting tomorrow Lol 1950`s Phillips Panda`s
  3. Got a 1975 KH100 all original here already.
  4. I have done the miles over the years, for all types of sports. I always found something more satisfying when doing it on my own doorstep. Walk out the front door and within 100yrds i was on permission that stretched for miles and plenty without permission that went even further Lol All changing rapidly now though.
  5. Old age and old injuries coming back to Haunt, All my fault and all self inflicted. Lol.
  6. Not round here they aint, Be lucky to see half a dozen in a night, As for getting rid of stuff, its hard, i have all my match feeder fishing tackle. spent literally thousands of pounds on it, Now i don't think i will ever be able to use it as it should be used ever again, Problem i, with fishing tackle the longer you keep it the more value it looses until it becomes worthless as tackle improves, its not until it becomes an antique that it regains any value.
  7. Progress so far, Decals are on the way as is an OEM oil tank and fittings as the Chinese one i purchased is somewhere in the field over the back fence, Piece of crap Lol. Once thats sorted just to start it get the oil pump bled and running then just the usual fannying around with brakes, Throttle and that, Then starting on The little 1975 KH100.
  8. "Artic" on here use to keep a fair few different breeds, Not sure if he still does or indeed if he still comes on here.
  9. Shrikes are actually members of the songbird family, They often, wrongly get labelled as BOP or Corvids.
  10. Your only a chough and a spit from being Scottish Lol
  11. Mine took minutes. Mrs hollowed it out and i cut 2 eyes and a mouth using the drill and two different sized hole saws Lol,
  12. But you walk 200 miles in the slop unlike us soft Midlanders who stick to pasture Lol
  13. I don't believe the establishment want him dead, That would cause them more trouble than him being alive. The issue in Belmarsh was in my opinion the female black governor and not an instruction from the government, I think 10,000 emails dropping into her inbox in one night may have changed her mind.
  14. The thing i hate most about Italian Trials bikes is the left foot kick start. On something like the 280 climber it was a nightmare.
  15. Its an hard one for him mate, He stuck up for the pupils who the Syrian lad had accused of bullying and racial discrimination, and was subsequently taken to court and lost for doing this, The lad was awarded £100.000 in damages, He made the documentary "Silenced" in response to that court case, The documentary allows people to come to there own conclusion as to what the truth was, Hate no Hope who funded the Syrian lads civil case then went to court and obtained an injunction stopping Tommy from releasing it. 4 years later it was released in America, Again Hate note Hope compiled a file of e
  16. Most trials bikes are a pain in the arse as they all suffer with the same issues. Beta use shit carbs, they purchased a job lot years ago from Mikuni and fitted them to all there bikes for years. They were shite, Pissed fuel everywhere as the vacuum pipe design was flawed and would not start unless the bike was on a flat surface, The old Aprilia climber and the old Gas Gas were hard to beat.
  17. This how most of my bikes arrive Lol
  18. Are the birds broke to ferrets? Honest question
  19. It appears that the government suppressed this news, Guido Fawkes were aware last Friday but were pressurised not to release it until this week for fear of inflaming the rally on Saturday. Strange how there still not saying the murders were also terror related, Or perhaps it would mean that they have sent yet more innocent people to prison for speculating online after and before the riots this summer.
  20. As i said i have a KH100 to do but i would love a KH250 or bigger but the cost is just not justifiable at the minute. The last DT125 i did a few years ago i went mad on. cost me over two grand without my labour and i lost money on it, If i had somewhere to keep them all i would possibly do them all to that standard but thats just my OCD Lol,
  21. Its very easy to get carried away when doing a refurb, God i should know, i have done it times. spent far to much money Lol. There are bargain's to be had, but are getting more difficult to find, This one as i said is for the Grandkids so the money does not really matter, safety is more important, The same with the little KH100 its just for me to keep busy and motivated, The PW50 suffered from "The China Voodoo curse" this morning, fitted a new stator, reg/rectifier, Diode, Run unit and start/stop/run switch. No frigging spark Lol. Tested all the parts, all tested fine, Checked all the plugs
  22. Without any context its hard to say if he was right or wrong with how he behaved.
  23. I am, well more like trying to refurbish this little 1980`s PW50 for the grandkids. Been suffering with a condition for the last 6 months that has held the build back, I am now able to do a couple of hours a day, The Chinese copy parts are cheap but rarely if ever fit or work correctly without the need to be modified in some way or other, I also have my next project, A 1975 Kawasaki KH100.
