Never used Silkolene in the VTR, but used it in my old Velo and it was very good (certainly on a par with Castrol GP50). The cams would wear out rapidly if it was run on "car oil". Plus Silkolene used to be "made" (think it was a recycled oil) in Belper so it must be good!!

No centre-stand, just a prop-stand.

No fuel guage, but an orange light indicator when you get down to around 3 ltrs (which happens pretty dam quickly!).

Some other time then perhaps. Incidentally, in a moment of madness I tried to book up for a Track Day at Combe, but it was full. Apparently they fill up real quick.

Sorry folks I'm not going to make it tomorrow. Got myself triple booked. Hope you have a good day - and the weather improved (like it says it will).

Look out for B4039 on right 1.5 miles (or so) on. Should I think be signposted to Combe. In fact I think Castle Combe circuit is si...

Perhaps Honda have fallen into the same trap as the car manufacturers where models get progressively heavier and less powerful (same as people too I guess) as the Eurocrats pass ever more stupid rules on emissions and the like - but then they'd have to lose a lot of power to make that much differenc...

Hi Pete. I'm interested. I'll watch this topic for more detail.

You need to scroll back through the Index (probably under Workshop). There is at least one excellent piece on suspension. If you can't find it let me know your e-mail address and I can send it to you.

Sorry I missed this. Could have made it, but haven't been watching the site much lately. Passed Bassett lots of times on the way home from Derby. Saw 100's of bikes (almost outnumbered by police cars) one night, but thought it was a one-off event.

Brilliant! I wonder if its really green!!

Thanks bluesman. Seems like cheapest solution yet! Interested to know how you get on.

Sure do! Got one in the shed somewhere - last used to fix yougest lads push bike.
