Sitting on the money for now. My Africa Twin ('91 RD04) is getting a bit long in the tooth to tour and I am getting a bit long in the tooth to tour on the Storm so the current thinking is a BMW R1200R sport. Yeah I know, old git. Byit 125hp and a power shifter helps with the dreams of youthfulness.

Got £1,400 for it on FB Marketplace so no complaints there.

Ooh that all sounds like work, but thanks for sharing your experiences. I cleared a lot of stuff pretty quickly when i took it's clothes off but I guess that was the easy selling stuff I guess you were talking about. I've listed on Gumtree and FB Marketplace so will leave those stewing for a bit and...

Hi, have been suffering with this issue but originally thought it was a bad switch. How do I contact Frank for one of his £5 posted relays?

No problem. I'll find out postage Monday so PM me your address and we'll get it sorted.

Hi, this any use to anyone? FOC but if you want it posted you'll need to cover the stamps. Otherwise collect from Basingstoke or Reading.

New motor arrived, fitted and working like...well like a starter motor. Thanks for all the input folks

Cheers all - got a £20 motor and cable on the way off of that ebay
