Don't know if everyone will agree, but reflecting on me fitting my manual CCT's recently, I wanted to avoid the cam-chains jumping on the cam sprockets while removing and replacing all the bits. So, once the valve covers were off, I simply put a cable tie through each camshaft sprocket and looped it...

Now that is a real talent! Wish I had that kind of skill....

Did I spot Rossi and Marquez in there?

Funny thing is...when there's a crash in the vids, loads of bystanders rush to help. In the UK...they'd let you bleed out! But unbelievable chaos....

70,s 2 strokes were all great. I had the original RD200 then the YDS7 before i got the Coffin shaped tank 250 then 400. Then came the LC,s and they were much faster but i preferred the old 400. I had the RD500 ( still wish i had that) then finally a KH750 triple. That seized the middle pot at about...

LOL!! Already back in there! Took the winter blanket off the bed but the wife complained. Typical!

Thanks folks...yep, I got lucky and my patience paid off. It's very original and unrestored, but in lovely condition. Only makeover is the professional respray in the original Candy Halibut Blue...it's a very high end job and looks fab. I've attached some of the detail pics to show how clean it is.....

Well, I eventually plumped for this...may be not everyone's cup of tea or idea of a 'classic' but it reminds me of my youth...at the time I had a 1970 Honda 250 and thought the Kawis were wicked. It's a 1975 250 SIC....4,500 miles from new.... Probably won't keep it for long, but fancied something t...
