cheers butch  Billy....i know its rusty.....it mover side to side.....it moves up and down a bit......but it just WOULD'NT come right out  so it can stay rusty ;D Norbs......its a hack.....may use it for work in the summer or when i pop round to see heather or to see a m8 or nip into town etc. My other 2 bikes are on a 6 wheel policy with my car through carole nash so im gonna ring up and see if i can add this to the policy to. Had a quote online for a full yr £72 fully comp protected no claims etc £1000 value from Bennetts |

f**kING MOTORBIKES!!!!!!  Had this booked in for mot at 1 o clock today. Got it out and thought id take it for a quick spin around the block as its now insured and was goin for mot. It was showing as running hot on gauge so i checked gauge and that was fine. Had a look in the rad and couldnt see coolant flowing through.Just looked like a mill pond. So i took off pump cover to check and pump was spinning. Moved upto top pipe and got coolant then flowing through that.Job done.coolant now flowing. Trouble is gauge still up top end of gauge So either my sender is knackered or the wrong one. It has green resin top  Also when i brake the front lever pulses and forks seem to move up and down so i believe my front disc is bloody warped Cancelled mot now.Gotta source the parts. Apart from that its a bit woolly pulling away but goes ok when it gets to about 3k. So,thats where i am at the moment 2 easy fixes to do and maybe a major one  |

Simple answer to that norbs It was a cheap £100 spray job.Rat bike. I do have genuine decals for the tank & tail unit & only need the side panel,belly pan and fairing decals and you haven't offered me them at a discount price yet ;D ;D |

Fantastic example you have there now, makes me wish that I could turn the clock back to when I were 17, I'd be looking to buy one instead of that 125 Superdream I had.
Then again, this is the YPVS version so wouldn't have been learner legal back then?
I've only just learnt about that now, I really didn't think that I knew about that 30+ years ago unless it's just down to more of my grey cells dying. Lol

Yes please mate did you post them and they send back Thanks Sorry mate had a quick look for receipt, may have given all the receipts for parts to looey when i sold it to him  I dropped the stuff off to them as only about half an hour away, or were, looks like they have moved a little further on. |

Lol Thanks Unfortunately i sold it years ago to fund a DT125. It did appear back on here for sale last year i think, but not as shiny or running Still, working on the second one  |
