Funny you should post that MZ. Found this last week.

The first time I have used the busa this year. It really needs to go as I need something more comfortable.

Anyone had any luck with cheap insurance  at the moment. Hastings are coming back the best for me on the comparison sites.

Try bikesure and MCN compare if you haven't already, I've got two bikes with bikesure and they did it the same price as it was for one.

Just a general wondering at the moment, so no for sale post.

Would there be any interest in this in a month or so? My lad is graduating to a 125.

2021 WK TTR 50, mechanically great - only issue is that the sidestand inhibitor is bypassed as it borked. Starts and runs fine, he's really looked after it. A rusty exhaust and a bit of surface here and there.

Less than 5k km on it, a broken brake lever from a previous owner and a few scuffs from him. First Mot not due till May 24.

I'm thinking £500 or a roffle at £10 a ticket.

[Stinkwheel]

I'm sure that would roffle fairly well

[tom13]

It has been a long time coming but I finally picked it up at the weekend.

Really enjoying it. Got absolutely soaked the first two times I went out on it though.

@sporty-shite Was after a 50 for his lad, I think.

I was after a project for us both, but he's been a bit of a twat at school so I've put it on the back burner. I would have a couple of randoms, though.

I want this but for an reason I can't have it so I'll park it here (metaphorically).  Nul points for mirror emplacement.

A local auction house near me had a tidy CB500 last week. It made £1,300 plus commission.

A 1976 Honda CB500T D66 overhead cam motorbike, mileage stated 8054 (atgportals.net)

[MrGTI6]

The rear caliper seems to be sticking quite badly on the Sprint all of a sudden. I was going to have a look at it this morning.

Been procrastinating instead, and finally accepted that I'm going to continue sunbathing in the garden for the rest of the day. 

A job for tomorrow perhaps (if I can be arsed)!

[Cavcraft]

Had forgotten about those CB500Ts. They must be right up in the oddball stakes these days.

Brings back memories from doing some of that route* with about 20 other bikes in the summer of 76.

Of course one eejit would always give it the beans just before the ramp on the ferry was fully down and get a bit of a wheelie off the end.

 

* Dundonald > Ards > Portaferry > Strangford > Comber > Dundonald. Those were the days. 

[hairnet]

Hang on.......

Only done 4 gentle miles today,  had to get home sharpish as started pissing down big time

Lad in town had one of these, which looked ace for a 125. Think they're a limited edition...

She was at work, M8

 

Had been out on the tractor earlier, weather was much nicer at the time so just had a cruise about getting the nod from other geriatrics on theirs.

Sounds good!, Just so you know (not tempting anything) If you are near Newtown, I have tools and teabags.

[tom13]

Went to watch the Banbury run yesterday on Sunrising Hill. Very entertaining to watch.

Done about 300miles on the Himalayan, recorded my first tank and I calculated it as 86MPG which I am super happy with.
