I had my barrels and head cerakoted (sorry not engine cases) and i cannot fault the finish, looks as good as paint, but heat and fuel resistant. If i were to do cases, cerakote would be my choice.

Did anyone else "hear" this being discussed on the Jeremey Vine show today ? having listened to his show for quite some time, what a load of sh1te.... Yes i did! What a t*at he is, i like radio 2 except for him, for me he represents everything bad about the BBC, he is pompous and opinionated (when i think they should remain impartial) and clearly absolutely ignorant of anything vehicular! I think he thinks he is the next Paxman, though he has neither the intellect or wit! Yet, his brother is i think very funny. Sorry about that! When his show is on i often change station, but happened to catch it today! Mouse

. That looks like Mona Drive leading to the Prom in Douglas? With The Imperial Hotel on the far left on the sea front before it was one way up from the Prom. can you help with this. Masny thanks Johnny C. Yes Johnny, Mona Drive indeed. Just checked it out on google maps. Those buildings on the right are still the same I love that pic. Must be early 80s judging by the cars and the bikes. An old Austin allegro, a honda 4/4, Bounty LC, nice orange Laverda across the street too. Magic John Brilliant! Such an atmospheric pic, more please! Mouse

Love this, such a sign of the times, no fully faired 'sports' bikes at all! In fact apart from the LC's not much to excite! Mouse

Hi mate
i'm not having any probs logging on, has you machine picked up a virus (not joking!), i use a mac and even they can get infected, i had one which just kept re directing me.
If you can see if 'can't teach this page' brings up anything if you type it into google, it may well be a known virus

Exhausts look excellent, because you have got the pipes at a perfect looking length, i think either the long or short silencers, both look great!

Have to agree, that is one fantastic looking set of pipes, just the right length, Will the engine be tuned or standard? Superb welding skills, oh how i wish i could! I tried it but it looked like something a pigeon deposits!

That's brilliant Chris! Another item i'm sure people would buy if you started making them on a larger scale

Oh and all the best on getting married, really, best wishes to you both!

I think the guy on the Ducati is Juan Carriga ex GP rider turned drug dealer (really) sinced deceased, don't know the other guy, but i'm guessing Carriga is slightly upset!

I live in the south east and i would say yes, since the first of the Covid 'lock downs' the traffic has got so much worse/heavier, it is utterly ridiculous even on a bike!
I now wait until after 6.pm before going out for a ride as it tends to get a bit quieter. This is a relatively small country but YOU CANNOT GET ANYWHERE!!!!!
A friend lives in North Yorkshire and that is so much better and has the most fantastic biking roads, so i know a little of what it is like up North, so yes John it is pretty bad down here!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, we, luckily, live in a free world.
However i joined this forum as i believed it was for people who have a genuine love/interest and passion in one particular range of Yamaha motorcycles, nothing more complicated. For me at least, they are a passion and also an escape from all the unpleasant (real if you like) 'goings on' in the world. I choose to involve myself with them for me, it does not have to involve anyone else should i wish it so, but and this is where the forum comes in if i choose to, i know there are like minded souls on this forum who will know/understand what i am experiencing and also offer a lot of free help/advice.
But recently there seem to have been a few people joining the forum who seem to enjoy upsetting and causing general discord on subjects completely unrelated to what i perceive this forum to be about, WHY?? Life can be tough, maybe your life is so lacking? maybe you are just very bitter? to be honest i neither know nor care, but please maybe find a more suitable forum to vent on, or just wander around the streets ranting.
I don't mean to offend, but really this is putting me and i'm sure others off this forum and good people who have been on here for a lot longer than me will start to leave and if that happens it will end up like every other forum and this is an excellent forum as so many say.

That looks like Oliver Mount? I'm thinking Mick Grant, Roger Marshall and maybe Wayne Gardner in the middle?
Went there once and it was the most unbelievable experience, well worth going!
