The secret is to have loads, it still hurts like f##k but you’ve others that keep you going, wife and I have normally between 3 to 6 dogs at a time. I still miss all those that have passed, all are special ( he says with two spanners asleep on the bed beside me). My mate in his 70’s knows should anything happen we will have his pup. Dogs are life savers, and prior to being diagnosed with ptsd it was my dogs that kept me going. They understood when no one else did, they never judged and always listen. Look after yourself buddy. 👍

Saw that the other day, Indian army parade riding Enfields. Kin hilarious. Several nearly crashed and tbh if I was Pakistan I wouldn’t be worried.

I’m teasing Jon. Tbh once we had new carpet etc they were banished outside of the house. Although I did enjoy riding the bikes through the front door down the hallway and into my man cave. (Which is the biggest room in the house after the kitchen 😁👍

Looks great. The only problem today with the older kits is the fact they come with 30yr old plus rubber. 👍😁

Great pic, have you done the rd500 standard? Yes it is standard. Got 3 of them, 1 I’ll do standard, 1 as the bike Parrish raced and another as a special. They aren’t a bad kit. Look forward to the pics 👍

No Freddie a long lap penalty would be a completely t**tty idea, it’s racing, not crochet

Thanks lads. It is unique and there in lies the problem, limited market who will probably see the price of everything but not the value. I may try it just to see. If it goes great if not? It isn’t the end of the world. I’ve never owned a bike as long. It appreciate all the advice and help lads. 👍

I’ve realised that I’ve owned this Lc now for 8 years in that time I’ve hardly used it less than 1000 miles whilst I love it and it gets huge amounts of attention I’m thinking of moving it on. I fancy building an lc2 and tbh this is not getting any use. I know some of you prefer building over riding now. Tbh the only time I use it is at the Manx otherwise I’ll ride a different bike when out with my mates, or obviously when I am doing my pre 65. So would I be best to advertise it as an auction? Or stick fast I’ve an idea of what I’d like returned as it’s for all intents new.

Be careful there was something I posted a while ago about one and another forum member gave me the heads up it was nothing of the sort. There was actually a little controversy around the bike.

Really like this, would like do to a paint job like it on my zx4rr. Are there any other pictures on Facebook? Rob Based on early 1980’s Kr1000 endurance racer. I’m in SA at the moment but have quite a few references at home

If it’s ok, and you got it will it lose money? If not could you resell? Can’t remember if you’ve owned/ridden one before?

Watched the documentary it was pretty good and I’ve bought the book again an interesting read. However it like the series has an American slant eg; and the best allied fighter in the European Theatre until the P51 was the P-47? Really? Mk9 spitfire? The constant lack of recognition that we (d.u.k.e) forces had been at war since September 39. Always remember being in Normandy for the 50th anniversary and over heard some septic saying to his dad who was a vet about how amazing the US were and his old man put him right about how long we had been there before them and how ‘we’ landed on 3 beaches not 2, how we were first on the ground etc. I understand they are appealing to a US audience however anyone would think we were an irrelevance.
