I've been annoyed that I didn't finish fitting and bleeding the radial Brembo MC.
I started yesterday, but had to go to a bbq last night, and toffee vodka got in the way.

Bloody alco pops........

LC has been sounding like a woodpecker most of this Summer, still going well but the metallic sediment in the gearbox oil confirms something is amiss..

Or is it really the wrong way - but right - but wrong for your motor?



I loved physics at school but when the teacher said electricity was all back-to-front and a lie, I lost heart with electrickery and concentrated more on atomic theory

You can use the same technique to turn your fridge into a cooker and vice versa.

It's a bit more complicated with the old star/delta controls on three phase motors, though.
you got there in the end.

Well recently I bought an Immaculate 916, full ohlins, and low miles, Had the wheels blasted then painted but got a stupid offer for it, so sold it today. Sad but nearer to me RD500 I am hankering after. Sold the MZ but to a mate who is back biking, annoyed to sell them but happy to have made a huge profit on the 916.

Good news re the 916, if you sold it, you couldnt have wanted it that much, re the RD500, my freshly rebuilt one blew its headgasket on Friday after I gave it a thrashing , so another one may be on the market soon...

916 prices are only going in one direction, and will be for the forseable future, glad to hear you made a good profit mate, save some money for a spain trip, you know you wanna...
